Did you try to hold the throttle slightly to see if it still dies? Any Check Engine Lights or codes thrown?

hey I have a B20 in my EK. to solve the idle problem I installed a high performance fuel pressure regulator. must go from 0-60 PSI. after installing the pressure regulator advance your distributor. your fuel air mixer screw on your throttle body should be turn out (counter clockwise) about half a turn from where it is at. then start your car and adjust the fuel pressure regulator till your car purr like a kitten. pressure regulator gonna sit around 45 to 50 psi before your car start to run right. not to sure on th US and JDM B20's though. mine is a European B20.
