Default MY CAR ISN'T RUNNING RIGHT.

ok my setup is a b18a built 10.5:1 and stage 3 clutch, balanced blue print crank. I can't revv past 3k. and i was wondering do i need bigger fuel injectors? and it has been converted from dpfi to mpfi and i am using the stock fuel injectors. the starter is in the way of the lower radiator and it tore up 2 hoses already. what can i do about the radiator hose?

like it has been said a lot of time. check the ecu codes to trouble shoot the problem from there. if it has no codes then let us know.

code4= cylinder position sensor swap the wires aroundat the dizzy or at the ecu, and you should be able to rev past 3k... I had the same problem with my b16....



look up b16 swap wiring and it will tell you on the pinouts whats wires are the cylinder pos.

pr3 ecu, I think it is c10 and c12, not sure cant remember, search button...

Cut off a piece of hose from a bad one and wrap it around your problem area.
Zip ties, glue, 100mph tape

Or are you looking to get the correct hose that will route around it?
