I just finished getting my drag 3 kit on ...I have a 92 civic with a gsr swap now turbo. It's been on for less then a week and I'm having problems. My hondata hasn't showed up yet so I'm running the kit as is. As I go from vacumn to boost the car hesitates badly and a bluish black smoke starts pouring from the tailpipe while im in boost. I think I'm running way lean but I'm not sure why. My apex turbo timer is reading an a/f of 14.7 under boost and around 14.5 at idle. The autometer a/f seems to stay in the stoich. while under boost at 6 psi. When I pulled the plugs they are snow white in the middle and the outer ring is black. Can anyone help me out as to whats going on? I'll admit I'm new so please help! thanks

 

Are you using everything supplied with the Drag III kit? I'm speaking of the fuel pieces like the Vortech 12:1 and the Airtex inline pump? Are you on your stock injectors?

When you bolt the kit right up, even without tuning, it should run reasonably well. Try to drive easy for now just in case.

 

Thanks for the reply..Yes I am running the airtex pump and the vortech 12:1 fmu as you mentioned. I checked all connections and all of them were correct (vacumn lines etc) The engine had good compression and no leaks or anything before the install. Ive never boosted over 6psi so I don't understand what's going on. The kit has been on for a week and it started smoking after I ran it pretty good against a talon. Now when I'm driving around it seems to really smoke bad at low rpms and especially when I go into boost and let off. Is it normal for a a/f reading of 14.7 while under boost?? (stock o2 sensor) 14.7 is pretty lean correct? Well for now its sitting Can't wait to get the Hondata hopefully that may be the answer?

 

14.7 is lean. try to get that down into the 13s. its not horrible, but I wouldn't be comfortable with it.
