So a friend of mine finished installing a (pieced together) turbo kit on my civic. Now when you go to start it, it will run for a min before stalling out. He said the wideband would read full rich and that it's injecting too much fuel causing the engine to flood. He said once tuned it will be fine, but I want to know is if it's really just a tuning issue?

this is on a sirII engine (98 coupe) with 440cc injectors, resistor box, stock fuel pump, ngk iridium spark plugs

other than that, basic turbo parts, p28 ecu tuned for na with chrome

 

Disconnect the pipe to the throttle body if you have stock map and injectors it should stay on. Try it and g/l

 

Is the P28 programmed for the 440cc injectors or is it still setup for stock injectors?

 

stock

 

Get it tuned!

 

so i actually got my hand on the car today. all the car does is turn over, my AFR would read 17.3, then slowly fall back after i stopped trying to crank

took out plugs, they were all very wet and reeked of gasoline. I burnt them all + disconnected the IC hose all the way to the TB and at first it sounded like it wanted to start, twice, but then would just turn over. Take out plugs, very wet again, this time AFR reading high 16's

im pretty sure if i hooked up a leaf blower to my TB the thing would start lol

 

You need to get the ECU reprogrammed to run the bigger injectors.. don't try to drive it until you do this OR put the stock injectors back in for the time being if you have to drive the car and DO NOT boost it.
