Default prelude running lean

Turbo is in prelude is running really lean on my a/f meter althought the o2 sensor is old probably the same one that's been in there since 1994 which is the year of my lude, is there any temporary fixes to get more fuel into the engine for the time being...In about 2 weeks I'm getting a hondata an in tank fuel pump and 550cc injectors and a dyno tune anything I can do until then?

a/f meters are worthless unless it is a wideband.

If you want a temp fix to run a bit richer, you could always up your fuel pressure. Depending on how your tune is set, you can disable the 02 readings meaning you don't essentially need one when running hondata. Are you running an fmu by any chance until the hondata goes on?

Yes I have that vortech 12.1 I'm actually honestly not sure if I'm running lean or rich now that you mention it if it's how you state it is, it's just the autometer a/f guage that plugs into the o2 sensor it's in the high red to yellow lights bummer ..

The autometer's are worthless. Your best bet is to pull your spark plugs and see how they look.

White - lean
tan - good/stoich
black - rich
