I jsut put on a greddy turbo kit on a 96' SOHC d16y8 civic:
-NO BOV
-5 psi setting
-frog engine controls obdII to OBD I wire harness
-94 D16z6 ecu
Car ran fine naturally aspirated, then i put ont he kit, wired it up. Idles fine, no leaks, throws a CEL and the light on the dash and the dome light pulse from full brite to slightly dim. The lbue box light stays on, but pulses green. Should this alwasy be solid green?

 

Try putting back in your obd2 ecu and see what happens.

The greddy blue box is wired intot he OBDI conversion harness. Without the harness, no blue box, but im going to try it and see what happens at idle

 

check the CEL code.

 

can you tell me if the BLUE BOX led is supposed to be solid green?

 

mine blinks on the gsr kit

 

heres the code, 2 flashes, then 5 flashes of the CEL light. THis is an OBD I ecu on a OBD II car with adapter harness, i dont know if these codes will even read properly. ANyway, can someone tell me what they mean for a OBDI civic EX?

 

check it again, there is no 25...make sure it's 2 slow and 5 fast flashes...also wait after that as well, you may be throwing more then one code.

 

any update on this?

 

Bill, I think I know what your problem is. First of all, you don't have a VR6. Second of all, you put a turbo on your non VR6 motor instead of a Vortech supercharger.. damn white people.

 

Im FuXored
I took the kit off, hopefully it will work like it did before. Nitrous was so much easier.

 

whatever, Cracka.

 

You took it off already? Just until the intercooler setup arrives? Dude, try having connelly swap that ecu out with a different OBD1 ecu at honda. That thing is kinda wierd the way it will stutter at idle and stuff..
