im having this problem i hit 10 pounds and it starts like misfiring so i changed the gap on it to a smaller gap now i have ran it on the smaller gap for around 2-3 weeks boosts fine no problems yada yada but today i waws driving it and the cheack engine light came on car ran fine i took it home shut it off let it sit i came back out to see what code it was throwing and the light was ff i took it out right when it hits about 7 pounds and close to 5k rpm it sputters like tis gonna shut off.... any suggestions?

SlipGear

is it tuned or are you running an FMU?

n.knasinski

whats fmu

n.knasinski

and the tune on it blows but i havent had the problem like i did today i just need to know how to fix that problem i would like to know what it is

gsrauto98

Does it start to sputter right when you hit vtec? If so you are not getting enough fuel when extra air is introduced. And a fmu is a fuel management unit, it boosts your fuel pressure per every bound of boost, they come in different ratios

n.knasinski

no fmu, i didnt try to get it to hit vtec at all it was when i was getting close to 5k rpm it sputtered i looked at my boost gauge and it was hitting 7 pounds yesterday i was out and boosting 10 pounds no problems nothing i take it out today drive about 15-20 minutes and it happened

Get it tuned, get it tuned, get it tuned, don't wait for your motor to blow up.

GET IT TUNED!!!

have you even pulled the plugs?

Juan_Mitosis

Boosting without a tune. What would you guys compare that to?

93egSLEEPER

there are so many things to put there. lol.
anyways OP you need to get that thing tuned ASAP. sounds liek you are having a major A/F ratio problem which in the long run will cause your motor to blow.

lol i love how friendly you guys are!!!

ok so help me out then because i really dont have the money for hondata any suggestions? sorry i just got into hondas not that long ago i used to build dsm's and decided to get smart

Start calling around to see which shop has the hardware to tune your chip. You need to get this resolved by a professional. Better get some cash too.

forcefedferio

with tuning software like CromePRO, i'd expect to be somewhere around 500-600 with a dyno tune including the installation of the chip. That will be your least expensive route. Trust me tuning is what makes or breaks a car, now is not the time to be cheap.

n.knasinski

well i took it out today and it ran fine for about 2 pulls then i took it out a little bit ago and it does it at 10 pounds again idk im selling it so the guy whos gonna buy it is gonna deal with it

Cruelty and good humor had sex and this comment was born

Ah yes, the good nature of Honda owners continues...

n.knasinski

figured it out my spark plugs wouldnt even fit on the spark plug gapper they were so close dumbass move on my part but i ran out and got another set and have them at .03 now im back to the problem of misifiring at 10 pounds so now im gonna gap them at .025 and then problem fixed

n.knasinski

now tel me this some guy wants to trade me an 03 si with a k24 turbo build..... i think its a little farfeteched but its not a fake because he was texting me instead of emailing me so im thinking somethings wrong with it... feedback??

Bull_head360

I dunno, I'd be weary if the guy was anything like you..."so the guy whos gonna buy it is gonna deal with it"... Seriously, my buddy blew his motor running it on a base tune, and the funny thing was that when it blew he was in traffic coming up to a stop light at 3k rpm. That being said, just because you don't rip on it doesn't mean that it won't blow...in your case you rip on it anyway...I would take the wastegate spring out or disconnect the intake tube from the turbo or TB and run a stock ecu till you can get that thing tuned.

Schister66

Get the damn thing tuned. The least of your concerns is the sputtering at this point...you could be looking needing a whole new shortblock soon if you keep this up. Save up from a Crome chipped P28 if you dont have one, then some dyno time. You should be able to get a street tune at least...and not pay more than $300

k24 turbo trade for a b16 turbo? wow. if he's willing to do that, obviously he's got some issues, serious too. if you don't have funds to get it tuned, maybe you need to stop driving it and beating on it before you do any more damage.

The wastegate is bouncing from 7-10 psi, that's a problem too.
