I just joined a race team (Formula SAE) and one of the guys has a base model RSX that he just put a turbo on, and is now having some problems. Basically the car leans out massivly after 3500 RPM. He has an inline pump installed (MSD) but I am wondering on the correct way to do this (since it is a returnless system, right?), and the way he was told to do it seems very odd. He also has a "black magic" piggyback box with a S-AFC-II. The black magic cuts the MAP voltage sso the SAFC can be programmed from 00%, making it easier to see the fuel trim.

The questions:
1)how do you run a returnless system?
2)Is a aftermarket FPR necessary?
3)What should fuel pressure be?
4)Is the primary O2 heated (1 or 4 wire)?

I am not new to turbos or Hondas (see sig) but am to RSXs, so please don't dismiss me as a retarded newb. I did look at the car and there really is a turbo, it is apperently a ballbearing T3/T4 and he is running a DeltaGate wastegate. I will find out the kit manufacturer for anyone interested ASAP (he told me, I forgot).

forgot, he is also running 550cc injectors.

thats gotta be the cybernation turbo

try changing the spark plugs... i had the same problem.... this helped....


and tell him to make sure the battery is connected properly! dont want to burn down the car

 

alright, any idea about the fuel system?

-Dustin

 

the fuel should be fine... i had the problem of it running lean at 3500

this was fixed by changing the spark plugs.... if i remember

 

what to? just stock? what about gap?

Is there supposed to be a FPR on there, because he has none at all from what I can tell.

-Dustin

 

We are going to check the way the lines run into the tank. If anyone has some advice....

From what I can tell he has NO FPR at all. I looked in the spots normal for a 'teg though. If it is a in-tank FPR, than there could be one. Should an aftermarket FPR be used with an inline pump?

The Cybernation kit INCLUDES a return fuel line.

And close up...




I don't know about the install specifics, but you can call Cybernation at 954-523-8483.
