car stays lean
 
ok, b18b, t3/t4 turbo, no ignition or fuel mods except for fmu. what would cause this thing to start up and run lean non stop? I started it yesterday and it was perfect.

oh, ok, I'm guessing you have an autometer?

yeah it is. all i did was take off a p.o.s. nissan turbo and put in a garret. didnt change any hoses or wiring. I put the three check valves in with the map the correct way.

ok, are you aware that the autometer is narrowband and is innacurate. You should really get a wideband on your car and find out what afr's you really are running.

so you saying the car might not be lean at all?, i mean it was rich before i did this swap, and with the same gauge

It may not be. That gauge probably just bounces all over the place like a light show.
