Well guys, i am finaly part of the darkside. The car does not pull as hard as I thought it would considering that I couldn't beat my friends stock H22a accord, but I guess that once I get it tuned it will be a whole different car. There are just a couple of questions/problems that I'm having. First let me start with my setup:

96 LS stock motor Max Rev turbo kit at 6.5-7psi
T3/To4e 57trim/.63ar
NGK plugs part# NGK ZFR7-11's
Walbro 255lph
Hondata S100 with boost on the stock basemap right now
Accord V6 380cc injectors
stock LS fuel pressure
Tial 35mm
Open downpipe for now (custom 3in with carsound by the end of this week)

My first problem is I wanted to run the DSM 450's but I couldn't get the car to idle at all with them on there. When I drove it it would just spudder and not go anywhere. The injectors work and so does the Honda OEM resistor box i'm using. I just figured it might be that the basemap is too rich. I'm probably going to stay with these accord injectors cause I think they should be plenty for my set up, i'll probably never boost more than 10psi anyway. This brings me to my second problem. The car does not run as rich as it did with the dsm 450s but it still does not idle. I have no idea what the problem is. Doesn't matter if the car is warm or cold it just doesn't idle period. Sometimes if i'm lucky i can get it to idle at like 400-500 rpms but about 80% of the time it just cuts off. I haven't checked the plugs yet because I might have fouled them out with the 450s, but they are brand new. Could it be that I am running open downpipe and there is no backpressure? Or could the car still be too rich?

My last question/problem is that the spool on this turbo is horrible. It is not what I thought it would be. It doesn't start boosting until 3800-4000rpms and hits full boost at around 4800-5000rpms. Is this normal? I kinda wanted to have a bigger powerband than 2000 rpms. Also I'm running my AEM intake as my charge pipe and was wondering if that piping is to big for my set up (2.5inch pipe). I was thinking about selling this turbo and going with something a little smaller. I want to be at full boost around 3500-4000 rpms and I want to make power until 7000rpms if thats possible. I'm trying to decide which one would be the best for what i want.
T3/To4e 57 trim .48ar
T3/To4e 50 trim .63ar
T3/To4e 50 trim .48ar

I had to up my idle a tad by adjusting the idle air screw in the throttle body after my install.

Not sure on the spooling issue.

Try holding your revs and to warm up the car and see if it can idle. I had problems idling my car on a base map and still have problems once in a while because of my plugs. Once your engine is warmed up it SHOULD idle...hondata base maps are usually pretty good.

I've got the idle screw all the way out but it doesn't seem to be working. Also I'll sit there in the morning and hold the car at a steady 1500-1700 rpms for a good 5 minutes. When I let off it will idle at 400-500rpms. Then I'll start heading to work once I get to the end of my street the car dies and won't idle by itself at all. It sucks. I have to sit in my car and wait for it to cool down, no sense in using my turbo timer. Anyone else have any ideas. Also, anyone have any ideas on my spooling issues.

run a mesh screen filter.

I'm talking about the about the charge pipe not the compressor pipe that goes to the wheel.

only problem i may be seein is that you are running those injectors on a stock hondata base map, and also that you are on stock fuel pressure.

when i ran a mesh screen filter on my turbo, it spooled alot faster.
