read what you wrote and ask again. but I would think adding some fuel could help.

 

if you are meaning i answered myself. i probably did im just a dumbass and im not confident with my own answers haha. but you do think that would fix the problem?? if so has neone heard nething on the nrg fpr

I havent used it myself so I cant say good/bad. What i meant was you asked why you are running lean, then you mention " checked the plugs the other day and they were kinda white. which means im running rich?". which made no sense, but anyways gl with.

 

haha o woops. neways. wut have you used and how has it worked for you??? is it a easy installation???

 

I used b&m fpr. I found it pretty easy to use and install. I havent changed it much over stock settings though. No need really for my setup at this point. I bought it like a year ago when i was running a Zex kit, the FPR just sat there and never got installed so a few months ago I figured I would install it so when I dyno I could make 'some" changes if needed. as it turned out my a/f was fine so i didnt change it yet. I do plan to build this motor so i will use it more then.

 

AEM fpr because you can keep your stock one

the b&m as well retains the lower portion of the stock FPR

 

is there any sponsors on here that sell these fpr's all i could find was the nrg er wutever.

 

does the aem fpr for a ej1 d16z6 engine fit onto the stock fuel rail or do you have to buy the aem fuel rail????

 

as far as the B&M reg goes, which i think the aem is the same. you cut the top off the stock reg and install the new portion which gives you the adjustments. You shouldnt need anything else like a fuel rail.

 

Did you let the car idle before you checked the plugs? Ive had white plugs before, but I had to let my car idle before I checked them. The general consesus was Hondas run lean at idle. Ive checked with local shops and they all say alot of plugs they pull are white. If you really wanna know, ive heard do a 2nd gear pull and shut it off while its still reved high and them check em.

 

yea i drove for bout 15 to 20 mins of it being warm and then shut it off and pulled them.... i ordered the fpr. is there a topic on hopw to do the fpr trick thinger???

 

I would say your fine but thats just me, cant hurt though

 

how us a car running lean fine??? this is the first time i have seen a white plug or 4 white plugs come out of this car. and it happened not to long after the IM. so im thinking that is the problem

 

my plugs are snow white also, I have I/H/E, no cat, edelbrock tb, blah,blah and I have moved fuel press. up and down , timing is dead on 16 btdc , healthy engine , correct plugs , no vaccum leaks , walbro 255 lph pump, . The only thing I can think of to do is change/check my O2 sensor . would a p06 dx ecu make a vtec 1.6 run lean, being that this motor came w/ a p28?

 

In order to judge your plugs you have to do a full throttle pull. Cant let the engine idle because hondas run lean at idle or light load conditions. If you pull them after that they will be white. Ive SEARCHED this problem countless times for myself.

 

well, you did add air to your engine without adding any fuel...that might cause some issues, perhaps the one you are having?

Do what turner is saying...do a second gear puul and check 'em.

I honestly think it might be because you have an edelbrock im, which im sure increases air flow, and you havent upped your fuel pressure...

 

well i did wut turner said to do today and still came out white all of em. so im just gonna have to use the fpr and c wut happens...
