D16z6 Turbo w/ VAFC HELP!!
Setup:
D16z6
T25
DSM 440cc Injectors
Apexi VAFC
Ok I know how everyone really doesnt like using an AFC but right now this is all I have to get my car running for the time being. I am concidering selling it and getting a chip and runnin TE or chrome or something. But until then, this is all I have.
- Today I started really messing with the AFC and tuning the car, I got the car to run really well from idle and up to about 3500 RPM's, once the car hits about 5psi of boost around 3500 the car completely falls on its face. And my Air/Fuel gauge says I run SUPER lean at 3500. Why is this??? I can't seem to figure out why. I richen the hell out of it and it still doesn't want to work.
- Another thing is the AFC suddenly stops correcting things around 3500, I noticed tonight when I was driving the car that after a certain amount of time driving, the AFC wont let me correct anything anymore. It still displays everything normally but it wont let me correct anything. I even adjusted the sensor type and the car should die if I adjust this, but it doesn't even read it. Anyone know why this is happening?
**Also** Should I be running any check valves? The car is not throwing any MAP codes.
Do you think it could possibly be my plugs are junk now that I ran the car super rich and possibly fouled them? So now the car wont get enough spark past 3500 due to shitty plugs?
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok I adjusted my plug gap to .030 and the car seems to run better, but I am still having the same problem. The car doesn't want to go past 3500 RPM. Could this be a ECU issue?

22 which is VTEC, but it shouldn't make it flip out like this. I had a MINIME in the car about a month ago and it ran great under boost still throwin a VTEC code. VTEC still engaged because of the VAFC.
