turbo b16a2 prob?

[TheDeal]

ok i have a civic si motor in my 2000 hatch turboed and i got the blue box hooked up and it is running rich. how can i fix this? after awhile of driving it starts to idle weird and have no clue what to do.

What kind of turbo?

Retard your timeing or get a hondata.

the blue box makes it run filthy rich. thats normal. if you want it to be better, get a hondata. retardign your timing will make it worse.

Way more info needed. Are you running a GReddy kit or what?

advance your timing Makes the cylinders burn off the gas quicker.

Probably would stress your engine out.

Hmm could he use smaller injectors?

sorry i am running a greddy kit. yes i want to get rid of this pos blue box and buy hondata but which one would i need. also when i start to get on it it is very hesitent like it boggs or something then it will go and like back fire or something.

off the topic question, but is it quick and do you like the way it performs? I am asking because i am ordering one at the end of the month.

But i was told by carbon to get a s100, and the bogging is turbo lag i think could be something else.

 

[TheDeal]

alot of friends that rode in it say its not lag its running too rich.

i do like the power some of the time but like to cruise alot also. like it is running like s**t and it still hauls ass. also forgot to add i run it for awhile and it idles weird so i shut the car off and turn it back on and it runs fine again. wtf would be wrong?

 

[Handlebars]

dont get a 100, most tuners dont like them. get a s200 with boost. i wouldnt suggest changing anything until you get the hondata, running pig rich is far more desirable than running lean. live with it until you can tune it.

 

[baby99si]

What is the differance between the s100 and the s200

 

[halescivic]

it could be your idle control its on the back of the intake manifold thats what mine was doing and then found out that it was the prob b/c the spring was sticking so might what to ck that out is a engine check light on?

s200 has data logging and a couple other things. check out www.hondata.com

i forget s**t all the time! there is a engine light on and its a o2 senson and idle. i got my dude to clear them and all that is left is a o2. well im not running a cat so i only have 1 hooked up. i have the other one in my hose but cant find where to hook it up at(cant find the other plug) would that make a diff?

 

[Handlebars]

well that would explain it, your ecu is running in limp mode. put your damn cat back on, reset the ecu, plug the o2 sensor in and away you go.

 

[TheDeal]

heres the deal i dont have a cat cause mi car had it on the header. i got a new exhaust and bolted it up w no cat. what should i do then?

 

[Handlebars]

id liek to see a pic of that, ive never heard of an exhaust and down pipe meeting with no space for a cat.

 

[TheDeal]

i have a 2000 hatch and ill take a pic of it tom cause i broke an axle tonight so its just sittin around. so you think cause i only have 1 o2 hooked up thats my whole prob?

 

[Handlebars]

could be, but the greddy still runs rich.

if the primary o2 sensor isn't hooked up, it could be your problem..... the secondary o2 sensor (the one that's supposed to be in your cat) doesn't affect your car at all..... it's just a warning sensor that tests to make sure the cat is working.

and, just to be sure, your car WILL NOT go into limp mode if the 2nd o2 is deactivated.... i hate it when people say that.
