I finally got her fixed. Some F*tard (whoever had the car before me and Jeff) basically stripped the blue tach wire (On the dizzy), then wrapped his aftermarket tach on it and stuck electrical tape on it. After wear and tear, it was hanging on by like 1 strand, and that's what was causing the problems. I soldered it back together, heat shrunk it, and everything is working perfectly again.

Awesome, so the tach signal wire was causing all those problems?
Did you get the injector fixed?


Rob

 

Yeah. It had like 1 strand hanging on.

The injector is being weird. Like, when the car is cold it will leak a little bit until everything warms up. I drove it all day today and tonight, and it didn't leak a drop the entire time.

Yep, the hack via afc or smc are a really nice low boost setup :D :D

 

Glad to hear everything is working well now pelo!

 

do you have that hesitation problem like the guys with the afc hack have?

 

Where should I be noticing it? I had a slight hesitation problem before I even put the turbo on, but it is fixed now after I got the tach signal wire fixed.

The only choppy point I have is going at partial throttle, while cruising at the same speed. Other than that, everything seems smooth so far.

That would be it.. Part throttle woes..

 

so with the smc you still get the booggy hesitation at partial throttle (just cruising speed???)

 

Yeah.

jB

 

any way around that?

Rob

 

yeah really. that sux.

 

that is what i am thinking. I believe this is why the VAFC hack is a little better than the smc because u are able to tune both wot and part throttle on it. If I am wrong somebody correct me. I've done "ALOT" of research but i am still no expert.

 

Really guys, it's not as bad as you guys make it to be. It's just a little "burp" every now and then. I drove my car about 40 mins today, and didn't feel it at all. It's just certain times that I have noticed it, and it's not bad when it happens. The second you go over like 1/3 throttle, it's gone and you're boosting away...

jB

 

Do you guys think the heavy stock flywheel would help with the part throttle "burp?"

 

that damn part thottle burp is whats keeping me away from these hacks

damnit

hondata is so damn expensive

 

what is a dizzy?????

 

Glad to see that the SMC is working out for you. Hope ya get the burps fixed.

a dizzy = distributer
