Well, I started at 9 am this morning and was not done until 8 PM. I started it up and it wanted to die. I am running a T3/T04, with Dsm 450cc, AFC hack. Anyone could identlfy the problem with the symptoms? It takes a while to start up and when it does it wants to dies until I give it gas.

Possible Causes for me to check tomorrow:
1. Bad Injectors, or problem with the install, put it back to stock and see what happens.
2. Check the wiring for the injectors.
3. Check for vacuum leaks (maybe a problem with dremeling the injector seal)

Anyone with the same problem or have heard of this problem??

Here are some pics of the install:



Go here for Vid of car starting up:

Are you running a resistor box?

dualknuttz1

I wired up the resister and everything. While I was doing it I cut the wrong wire and I hung them loose because they were all yellow. I looked at the plug and they are all connected to the ignition. Could this be a potential problem? Basically I have the 4 injector wires hooked up to the resistor box and the power from the iginition, I think there are two unconnected wires. Should I connect them again?

Arturbo

I think you might have answered your own question. You need to have all the wires hooked up.

So I guess it's back to the shop tomorrow to get this thing straight. Damn and I have school on Monday too. Having turbo on your daily is hard. **** I need a ride to the shop tomorrow.... and I still need to drive to the muffler shop open downpipe to complete the downpipe.

For those asking about clearance issues here you go:

What idle settings have you tried on the VAFC? Your car sounds the way mine did when it was too lean.

romeo619romeo

set the vafc to -50 all the way across just to get it started..

dualknuttz1

I have it set at -37 all the way across. Maybe too lean you think? I will try the -50 and see what happens. thanks for all the info.

red_sir

I would try anywhere from -20% to -45%. That seems to be the range most people have it set to.

btw, remember the bigger the number, the leaner it gets so -50% would be a lot leaner than where you're at now.

you can smell if it is too rich..... so if you can smell it, that might be your answer.

lol, welcome to life! It'll all be worth it though

romeo619romeo

i only say -50 cuz its alot easier to start a motor lean then rich.. specially iwth big injectors

nigel

I second that. btw thats a sweet setup you have there! please tell me youi arent in highschool

Check your wiring for the resistor box. The way mine is wired is completely different from hondata's wiring diagram. Check my install for help.

dualknuttz1

So this should be the correct way to wire up the resistor. I got the diagram from Hondata when I did the installation!!! I knew something was wrong with the wiring when we tested for continuity. i will try to put it all back to stock and do it this way. And no i'm not in high school.

Good job dualknuttz

fastcivicboy

set it at -40% across the board to get it started! (Believe me!)

if you need any help with settings on the vafc, i can help

dualknuttz1

Alright I got it down this morning. I rewired the injector resistor pack to the pic's specs and I increase the fuel to -30 all across and BAAM it runs good. Going to do the DP tomorrow morning. With open downpipe and wastegate it sounds like a drag car. It was siiick. "So I installed my turbo today" part 2 coming soon.

i ran -45 across same fuel mileage as stock on 450s
