Default Broke Lude SH Turbo

I didn't realize there was an FI forum here so I posted in the Prelude forum first OOPS .

My car was running like crap, dying at red lights, going down the road nice and smooth and she starts sputtering like it is getting no fuel.
I couldn't deal with it so most of the time she sat in my driveway not moving. AEM released their latest patch for the EMS I am still trying to get tuned so I decided to convert the old maps and upload them and hope that the car would be drivable. I uploaded the new maps and started the car and it revved like before 700 to 1400 rpms. I revved up to 2000rpms and held it there (this is what I've had to do since I got the new EMS til the engine warmed up) nope didn't work. I started it again after a couple more fuel changes and it putted and putted. After this time it never started again. the motor makes this grinding noise when trying to start it now.
Now I broke my car and have to get it fixed for boost and there are so many options out there and need some help with this stuff.
I would like to run between 10 and 12lbs of boost.
Currently I have t3/t4 Drag II Turbo Kit w/ modded downpipe, Greddy BOV and TiAL WG, gauges, aem rail & regulator, walbro 255lph, RC 550cc, resistor pack, ACT 6 puck, skunk2 cam gears, Greddy catback and AEM EMS.
This is my Christmas list so far
Golden Eagle Sleeves, Endyn Pistons 9:1CR, Eagle H-Beams, Euro-R intake manifold, 68mm tb, Skunk2 ti retainers, springs, valves, ARP head studs, crank balancing and head port/polish. So far I am seeing around $5000 without assembly.
OUCH
I think this should pretty much get me where I want but I still need to get that EMS setup correctly. A good tuner is going to very difficult to find for this thing but we'll see.
I am actually considering Hondata but have to get and obd1 ecu the wiring conversion harness, so I would have to sell the AEM EMS to get this stuff.

You live in Fl? Hmm... I am not sure but maybe Vapor Trail can help you with tuning.

I spoke to them about the tuning the ems and they said it is very diffficult with all the different options available on this system. they recommended a hondata. this is understandable and AEM is still troubleshooting the honda stalling issue.

Huh? I never had a stalling problem with my EMS. It sounds like your engine is hunting for an idle. You'll have to mess around with the idle options to get it to stop hunting. If you haven't yet, download the Setting up Idle documents from the ems forum. What part of Brandon do you live? Maybe I can help you out.
