Default Misfiring w/ Greddy Blue Box

I have a Greddy kit for the 99-00 SI running @ 5.5psi intercooled. Running NGK BKR7E Plugs gapped @ .030... Would a different gap help? Have had the kit on for 3000 miles, and has been misifiring in all cylinders more frequently lately. Timing is set 1 degree below stock. Do other Greddy B series guys experience random misfiring w/ the blue box? or is it just me? Please let me know your experiences. Thanks.

i had the same problem for my '00 si. code 71,72,73,74. i rechecked my wiring and checked for any leaks or anything. i couldn't find anything too. I then threw the box and put in a hondata and all misfiring went away.

Also, it only happens @ idle.... rarely when driving in vaccumm while accelerating, but never @ WOT. Any other ideas? Would a Walbro pump help. I did notice however when i retarded the timing 3 degrees, it did not throw this code, however it would overheat more often. What timing are you guys running @ 5.5psi?

nope running a Walbro pump will not help
the only thing i've seen help is taking out the blue box injectors and running the stock injectors with an FMU setup & a missing link
or Hondata

check your gap. set it to .28 and that should help.
are you running stock plugs. try 1 notch colder.

platinum.
