Umm, no. You probably need to stop posting misinformation.

Please do.
You Sir are running a sohc ecu on a dohc motor.
See the problem? Get it tuned.

you told us all this but failed to tell us what year, make, and model of the car that all this stuff is going into...being you're a new guy here i'll let it slide this time...but if you have any questions in the future...please be sure to state Y,M,M of car and a list of mods done to the car...then ask your questions.

LoL
This is what happens when ricers think they can double their civic's power by buying a VTEC controller and dropping the VTEC engagement point to 2500 RPM. Same exact thing, basically.
For a LS/VTEC the optimal VTEC engagement point's gonna be higher than 4800 RPM, try it at like 5600 and see if that's better.
You need to get it dyno tuned - that'll show you your optimal VTEC engagement point and more efficient fuel tables.

Why would you need to change the fuel lines?? i didnt and ive never had fuel problems and its a B18C in a 92-95 civic

first of all i'm not no ricer king and yes i am 17 its an Lsvtec and yea i know about getting it tuned i just want to have make sure everything is right before tunning cause some place wont tune a car thats fucked up i checked the Vtec Selinoid and it works all the ***** hooked up and yea i am going to use a chrome chip and the people that are helping me with my car arnt even close to rice their all into JDM like seriously into it the get kick *** parts from Japan and know most of the people @ tuning shops

No you need to run 50W140
10W30 Is good enough either that or some people like to use 10W25

Re: (CCCPRB)
you should have tuned it immediately after initial startup or as soon afterward as possible. by doing this 1000 mile break in on an untuned ecu you could have caused more harm than good. the only thing that needs to be "broken in" on a freshly rebuilt engine are the rings. if those dont seat within the first few minutes of the engine running, they never will completely.

X1000
most of the time you'd want to run 10w30 as the averagebut it also depends on the conditions that the engine will be running in. colder weather conditions usually want a slightly thicker oil so it sticks to internal engine components so that upon the NEXT startup the parts are still a little bit lubed up. ...but as you are breaking in the motor...if i'm not mistaken most people run regular oil and NOT synthetic during the break-in process of a newly assembled rebuilt/built engine. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

No, that's not how it works.
Oil does not stick to internal engine components. It is affected by gravity just like everything else - when you turn off the engine and leave it sit, all the oil drains down into the sump pan.
In colder climates, you should be running a less viscous oil, so that it will flow more easily upon start-up and reach the critical lubrication points sooner. A more viscous oil will resist flowing and take a longer amount of time to reach the top of the engine when cold. This is why cars running 10w-40 and 20w-50 will exhibit valve tap on cold starts until the oil is sufficiently warm to flow at a normal rate.
