Re: (nonvtecD)
wtf ? you're running untuned with a fmu AND a completly incorrect ecu and you're complaining that vtec isnt hitting.. i would take your car to someone who actually knows what they're doing before ripping on it any more

since vtec isnt engaging correctly you may also have an oil pressure problem. vtec needs oil pressure to work...if your oil pressure is dropping off the vtec will turn off.....if you rev a vtec motor with no vtec you risk doing damage to the head.....

Pretty much Code 3 is why your car is running like ***.
Get the thing tuned already.
Are you running a missing link or a check valve?

Re: (D@nnY)
car ran fine with the ecu before I put the turbo in vtec engaged fine no missing link on i didn't bother cause I have a 3 bar map sensor but can run it till I get it tuned
how do you make a check valve?

Hold on. What are you talking about? You are running a 3bar map sensor on the stock ecu.. I doubt that. Unless you mixed that up and said you weren't going to run it untill you get tuned.
Basically you are screwed without a missing link or any kind of engine management. So stop beating on the car, just drive it. Don't boost it at all is my recommendation untill you get someone to tune it for you.
