Re: HUGE PROBLEM!!
I was trying to break in the engine with very low boost... I didn't think it would cause harm.... Ok istarted the engine this morning.. It still has air coming out of the oil cap but when I rev it a lil it stops... I saw my fuel pressure was low and I have a little fuel leak...

Re: HUGE PROBLEM!!
After reading the previous threads you have created over your motor and its assembly, I have to give my unprofessional opinion that you probably shouldnt of assembled your motor yourself.... from stripping rod bolts to driving around with fuel leaks to boosting on a stock ecu/injectors not thinking it would cause any harm, does something not seem right about this to you??
I recommend you give hand the car over to a professional before you ruin everything....

Re: HUGE PROBLEM!!
its the shear fact that u boosted your BRAND NEW engine with 100 miles on it with standard injectors and a stock map!the rings at this point would of still being worn in and boosting it was the worst thing you could have done, it all boils down to the fact that u never ever boost a car with standard honda injectors and a standard map, your a/f would of been off the scale and its a shock it still runs

Re: HUGE PROBLEM!!
2nd that, hand it to a pro. What was your ignition timing at? You probably don't wanna hear this but you've probably done some damage. Get a pro to compression test it/ and leakdown.

Re: HUGE PROBLEM!!
I recommend you check compression and if everything checks out OK tow it to a tuner and have it tunes. You should never break in an engine without a proper tune. A 'base map' is not a replacement for a proper tune and really is useless.

Re: HUGE PROBLEM!!
compression test please! i have no idea why you wouldnt break in the engine and clutch w/o the turbo on... but since you already slapped it on and did the deed you need to have the test done to see if you have some permanent damage. Some blow by is normal but smoking is not...

Re: HUGE PROBLEM!!
i know the problem...STOCK INJECTORS, NO TUNE and i would be willing to bet are running the stock plugs with the gap autozone told you to set. Pull the plugs, i can almost promise you that your plugs look like they are covered in silver glitter. That is from detonation and is some of your pistons fused on the plugs.
