i have a b18b turbo '91 crx that i converted over to obd 1. everything is just about done except for the hondata install. my tuner told me i could use a stock obd ls ecu to granny drive it (staying out of boost of course) to the shop but im having some problems getting it started.

I think it has something to do with the vacuum lines b/c the other day my boy and i were trying forever to get it started and we were making progress b/c each time it sounded closer and closer to turning over. then on the last attempt, he disconnected the vacuum line from the top of the fpr and it started and ran for about 5 minutes b4 it shut off. my boy was saying maybe it shut off b/c the wastegate was getting too hot. but i dunno.

the only thing that makes me think maybe its not the vacuum lines is that once it started it idle'd perfectly..i know if it were the vacuum it would idle sparatically. the only prob is gettin it started..but once it started, it was good (except 4 cutting off 5 min later)

i was just wondering if anyone had a diagram or pics of how the vac lines should be ran with a turbo setup like mine. any input would be appreciated. thanks in advance

setup:

b18b (pistons, rods, valvetrain)
550cc rc injectors (running stock injectors 4 now till the hondata gets put in b/c it runs too rich w/ them in)
255lph wolbro fuel pump
hondata 2B (not yet installed)
t3/t4 turbo kit w/ fmic
p75 ecu (obd 1 dizzy and injectors)
obd 0 - obd 1 conversion

update..

i just started it a few more times..still stays on for about 5 minutes b4 shuttin off. seems as thou it also shuts off whenever i press the gas pedal.

 

With your 550ccs and stock ECU it will not work. As soon as you press the gas it runs so rich it dies out.

 

im running stock injectors right now till the hondata gets installed

 

Oh ok..
