dude dont give up...i was in the same boat as you with my car not running. it was down since nov. i finally got it running and tuned and it is great. Call slowmotionmotorsports in columbus and talk to corey...he should be able to help you. If you could get the car to columbus and get a date scheduled they can tune it. My friend has a auto eg he just turboed and he couldnt get uber to work so he got an afc and they tuned it for him for like 125...and he was running good. you can get the # from slowmotionmotorsports.com

Also, can you still use the afc with an NA car?

so the reason for the thread is, nothing is going right. right?
dont be a quiter. I ground a ------- hole in my block, and still didnt stop me. you dont have any excuse. BTW, that was on my daily driver, the same car i had to have to get me from point a to point b.

Turbo cars are going to have issues... that's just the way it is. The way I see it, if you don't enjoy working on your car, then you shouldn't own a turbo Honda.

I think I have had really minor issues since I started boosting. But, there have been issues none the less and I have had to take care of them. I expected them though, and I like tinkering with my car. I wouldn't have anything to play with if I was NA again.

I say don't give up, it's worth it. But I suppose to each his own. If there weren't problems along the way it wouldn't feel like much of an accomplishment driving your own turbo machine!

I know theres gonna be problems, thats a given, its just if Im going to turbo a Honda, which I will eventually, its not gonna be some auto obd2 pos. nothing but problems from start, I mean, i cant even get a harness CORRECTLY made to run Uberdata, and theres other issues too. Id rather wait till i can get a cheaper, older honda, one that if it breaks or what not, im not goona be too bummed about. bad thing is, i havent drivin my car since december, and im still payin on it
