Ok i have a d16z6 with a greddy kit on it. Running a 12:1 vortech fmu, with my timing retarded 2 degrees, one degree colder spark plugs. Ok thats what i got now for the problem, i can drive the car around fine when i dont hit boost. But when i get on it then come to a stop, the check engine light is on, and when i start to go it feels like the car has no power and hesisiates alot. I shut the car off and turn it back on and its fine untill i hit boost, this ever happen to anyone here? This just started happening recently, is it a sensor? my injectors not flowing? thanks

No one on honda tech can help me?

What code is it pulling would be a good start.

are you using check valves or the missing link to bleed boost off the MAP sensor. have yourself from the hassle and get your ecu chipped and tuned on some sort of ems...

Fromt the sounds of it your probably not running check valves or a missing link....get a good ems

carbonkid

i read you dont need check valves for anything under 10psi

bdavis

you do need them! your map sensor is seeing boost and throws a cel

carbonkid

if it throws a code then why does my car start acting up, feels like it has less power than stock and bucks?

its probably ignition or fuel related.

whats your spark plug gap set at? ( i know it shouldnt matter at idle...but i might as well ask)

if you're running a Z6, get your p28 chipped to run crome or uberdata. then u can ditch the FMU.

carbonkid

Ok im getting a missing link and see what happens. do i get the one mounted to the manifold or firewall?

where is your map sensor at?? What kind of vehicle is it in

carbonkid

im guessing my map sensor is on the top of my manifold, so i need the manifold missing link. not the fire wall one?

nonvtecD

you need real fuel management, it's free.

Jay_Sensing

Ditto, you can chip the ECU and run real management for less than what you will pay for that Missing Link. There is no reason to buy those anymore with the options available now.

Heck you can probably sell the FMU on ebay and make some spare cash for tuning as well.

carbonkid

how do i get "free" mangagment?

Soccerking3000

crome or uberdata

carbonkid

where do i get it?

JDMs1eeper

ebay, get a missing link

also.. retard your timing more. how much boost u running?

Soccerking3000

^^^^ no i think he is asking where can he get crome/uberdata, they are on pgmfi.org just join and you can download them.

carbonkid

im only boosting 6lbs.

Soccerking3000

ok, how does that change what ems you run...

marcussmith26

I agree 100% if you are not going to tune it get a missing link, But getting your ecu chipped and then getting it tuned is not cheap. Sure go ahead download the program but there is much more to it than that.It cost me 700$ to get it chipped and tuned, But much safer this way. But on the comment you don't have to use missing link if you are under 10 psi is ture if your ecu is chipped ONLY!

carbonkid

thanks for the help guys. my girl offered to pay for my car to get tuned, but i still need a fuel pump and injectors. so im going with the missing link for now.
