tubo install acting funny
Hey ht, i have a 92 civc si jus finished dropping my d16 and turbo kit in yesterday, i took it on a test run and it ran fine, then i went to take it out again later the car started runnin like it was outa gas jumping and sputtering, i get it home and cut it off and it wont start back up, but it had a strong odor of fuel, i put more gas in it and still no start, i finally say screw it ill look at it tomorrow, so i go out this morning it starts right up no problem, i took it round the block and it ran smooth. what could be causing this, i did have alittle 87 left in the tank from the previous motor. Its jus hs a base map by, used chrome, had it in a crx and never had that problem. Thanks for any help

Re: tubo install acting funny
did you upgrade the injectors?
fuel pump?
just trying to check since you left that out. And driving it without a tune are more cause for me to say "step away from the car" cuz your going to kill it within days.

Reliable

^ Pick 2 and the 3rd is what its not.

ive got the 255 fuel pump and 450cc injectors, wel im bout to take it to get tuned here in a week or so, i messed around with it for a bit and its ran fine ever since, i havnt smelled fuel anymore havnt seen any leaks, i had a vacume leak and my radiator house at the back of the motor was leaking, so now its running better, question when i go to get it tuned is there anything extra i will need to bring, jus wana make sure im prepared for when i go, again thank you for all your help.

5 thumbs up for going boost. But you should really really get your car turned instead of just running on a base map. Usually I recommend people who go boost to use their base map twice. Once is so you can drive to the dyno, and two when the people tuning are using it. But once you get it tuned, it shoudl be smooth, and your gonna have soooooooooooooo much fun. hahahha.
