Alright the pump is bad.I ran a wire from battery to the pump directly.Also grounded it to the body and it only got 80psi and then the pump failed it started whining and Fuel pressure would go from 60-20 20-60 over and over.I think the pumps trying to lock up so i shut it off i'm gonna order one...

Well if you're comftorable piecing together a kit then you can do it for cheap but it isnt all bolt on stuff.Youd be lucky to get 275hp at the crank out of it though.

Well with I/H/E you wont notice much of a difference at all, but 300hp on a stock bottomend is pushing it, and 550s and safcs wont work for our cars.Youd be better off with a SFMU and 550s even though you wouldnt need that big of injectors for the low boost you'd be pushing on those stock...

Well i tested resistance from the map to the ecu and all the wires were good and not open or shorted.Im gonna get a map tommorrow but i dont think this will solve my FPs being so low under boost.Any ideas on that?

Well heres my dillemma the yellow/black and green/yellow wire are both 5.15V with the engine on and hte FCD not installed the green/yellow wire should be at 2 somthing Volts right?well they are both at 5.15 and the car barely starts and idles i ahve to give it gas then it will idle and it hits...

no im using a coolant system pressure tester with a tip inserted into the map and pumping it up to 8psi but it doesnt matter if i blow into it with that or use a vaccum pump the voltage will not change. although it did when i installed it

I removed my FCD to see what it would do it throws a 108 map voltage to high but if its on there it shows no change in voltage so im thinking the FCD is shot but it reads 5.15V on the 2 power wires and .10 on the ground at idle with FCD unhooked.With the FCD hooked up it threw a 1297(No...

Its one thing after another i adjust my voltage down on my FCD to 4.59 thinking it might help now it throws a CEL 1297 I beleive.No change in map between start and run. WTF!is this FCD shot.Because isn't the voltage supposed to rise when you apply boost? cause it stays teh same but i can still...

Well i thought that would take care of my problem but i still only get about 73psi max so i jsut checked my FCD and it is at 4.57 i had it set to 4.63 would this affect my FP? im confused and i measured the disc and it was 2.7 inches. There was no spacer or w/e in the FMU just a piston, a disc...

The vaccum line had a tiny hole in it at the very end before where i had it clamped off i cut it off and put a zip tie on tehre nice and tight i couldnt find a small enough hose clamp. But this shouldnt affect my idle FP should it?

nevermind.

Hey guys well i think ive come to the conclusion its my FMU cause i took the vac line off of the fmu and intake plugged the fmu side and put a pressure tester on the intake side and pumped it up and it held pressure just fine,but if i have it hooked up to the FMU then it loses 10psi in less than...

Well my fuel pressure at idle is 53psi I read it should be 43-50psi -- I can only get about 73psi at 5lbs of boost. I'm running the Vortech FMU (I believe it to be a 12:1, although I haven't measured the disk.) with stock injectors and a 255lph HP pump. Also I am using Mike's FCD on a Hahn...

Damn that exhaust looks nice i wish i woulda got the 3" Tsudo but i have the 2.5" lol but i remember how nice and shiny it looked when it came in the mail and that FMIC is massive! good luck

Some pics of the cleaned engine and front end all back together.

The door lock problem miraculously fixed itself i guess its a short or bad ground.But i got my bumper and tranny cooler on today, shes in need of a wash tommorrow and i need to replace a bulb,oh and the headlight problem was a corroded connector.things are looking up thought now i just need some...

Hey thanks i still need to cut maybe 1/4 inch away cause its rubbing the IC and fix my headlight problem,and my keyless entry stopped working AND i cant lock my doors via the switches inside i must have knocked a ground loose,unplugged a connector or my battery being unplugged for so long reset...

Hey thanks Rand yeah i got it back on i need to trim maybe 1/4" off so it doesnt rub the intercooler and so i can get the 4th bolt in it, but tommorrow i was planning on putting my tranny cooler in but tonight i noticed that have a headlight problem on the pass. side so i gotta figure that out...

Heres the finished pics cept my bumper, i didnt put it on because i didnt have the right size line to put my tranny cooler on but this weekend i should get it on, the max i could get the wastegate to open at was 7.5psi so i should be able to get 1.5 more psi out of it with a boost...

yeah its sourced off the EGR and i deff have an exhaust leak its coming from the DP its just a very faint ticking and i can feel it puffing

Well if i dont find any boost leaks tommorrow and that actuator arm is a PITa to adjust like i read ill ###### jsut get a MBC and adjust it to 9psi on my gauge which equates to like 8 into my engine correct? will it be that big of a difference and i can hear a tiny ticking like an exhaust leak...

wow i just drove the car for the first time its only making 5 or 6 psi spools at about 3600think i may have an exhaust or boost leak i need to make a tester and see, also need to check the WG and see if the WG actuator arm is threaded all the way in or out, im running the turboxs rfl with no...

i already have some of that copper gasket material on it. but idk if its leaking or not its so loud since its open DP i cant hear a leak.Im gonna feel tommorrow if i can feel it leaking without the fan on.Gauges and exhaust is all i lack to get her on the road, minus my bumper which is not...

I figured it out i didnt know you had to cut out below the fuse box but now i just need a DP gasket the one off the turbo and hooking up my gauges so i can drive it.I only got it to make 2psi under no load i guess thats normal though but it didnt fuel cut and it blew off and i didnt hear any...

Hey thanks guys that pic wont show up though and the IC pipe routing im looking for is the HRC FMIC IC pipes im not quite sure how the outlet off teh FMIC to the TB is routed i figured out the inlet into the fmic from the turbo, and HOW do you get the bottom bolt in the dp? i guess ill try...

Anyone have any good pics of the routing of the IC piping? i cant figure it out, and how do you get the bottom bolt in the hrc DP on the turbo flange!?!?!?! I need a DP gasket too.

No it was the walbro 255hp i finally got it in idk what it was but now my fuel gauge doesnt work.. i dont even know where the float is since it isnt in the tank so idk. Finally figured out the FCD too Mike had 2 of the wires backwards, now i need to route the IC piping,downpipe,gauges, tie up...

I trimmed down the feed line where the pump connects to it and it is still hitting somthing i trimmed the rubber hose and tried using the thin rubber grommet at the bottom, it is still hitting somthing and im stumped:( also i wired my fcd up and when i blow into it the voltage stays at 5.04 will...

Heres some pics of what i got done today hopefully ill be able to finish up tommorrow if not wednesday.Woulda got more done tonight but it got dark and i lack proper lighting.Wish me luck im sure ill be back on here with questions,but so far everythings pretty much been straight forward except...

Hey thanks i already had the part numbers but i give you an A for effort lol.Ive got the hrc stage 2 wtih fmic,and it has an apexi flange,which i made an adapter flange so it probabally sits a good inch higher than just the turboxs flange :-\ Looks like youve got the star kit anyone else with...

Well i got my EGT gauge and trans cooler,tapped the hole for my probe out bigger,waiting on my fcd spark plugs and 255lph pump,also picked up my crankcase breather i only need fmu,dp,mani studs/nuts/washers,heatsock and some heatshield for my hood:) cant wait to get this stuff on,also anyone who...

Hmm idk but i like your upper intake,its purty.

xs pooooooooooooower.All joking aside those pipes look very nice.Nice welding BTW did you do it?

I cant wait to feel the boost for the first time:thumb:Ive almost got all the major things rounded up.Still lackmani studs/nuts/washers crankcase filter heatsock oil pressure gauge pillar pod DP FMU some hoses/clampsjust ordered 255lph HP ultra-lite EGT gauge fcd tranny cooler...

hey thanks,im going with 12:1 fmu and stocker injectors for the time being hopefully change it in the next year most likely to sfmu with 30lb accels or maybe 8 injector setup.Not sure yet i still have some more parts to order though

Oh i thought you meant i need additional couplers,ill probabally replace them i just want to get everything on firsty and sicne they are easily accessible its no big deal to take em off and put on new ones but yeah theyre used and it looks like a worm clamp was used on them and il lbe upgrading...

S-FMU is a super fuel management unit,you can change out the discs and springs inside to get close to what you need for fuel.Then you can adjust your static and idle pressure from there.You need 4an fuel line to the rail(you mount the sfmu under the hood unlike the fmu in the rear if youve got...

why would i need more 90s?i may get couplers later on but these are silicone i think they are 3 ply.Ill get blue when i upgrade to match my VC

The rest of the pics.www.cardomain.com/ride/659469/2

The best injector for a 12:1 fmu is the stocker 19lbs you could MAYBE get away with one size larger injectors(21lb) think you said.S-FMU and Accel 30lbs would be the best imho.edit: Also i beleive the cylinders are supposed to be within 10% of each other try squirting a little bit of oil in...

Its probabally on the intake stroke and the valve is open,you could crank it over a little and try again.Put the other 3 plugs in and crank it till air comes out of the 3 hole while cranking it which would mean its on its way to TDC on the compression stroke(both valves closed) then do a boost...

Well it looks that ill be boosted in the next month after FINALLY buying a used HRC kit. i just need a few things to finish it up.I figured id go ahead and start my official turbo thread so when i have any questions i can just post in here.So i bought a used HRC stage 2 kit with the FMIC...

well whatever you do dont forget that little o-ring between the block and bedplate.if you do youll have to pull the engine out to fix it.trust me i experienced it first hand.

Hmm not sure but i sold my 16" Konigs to a guy in East TN with a GS Spyder he hauled a jetski with his i beleve? maybe hes on this board.

yeah its no problem :mad: j/k

Whats that supposed to mean?:mad: haha j/k but i dont think they are fond of DSM's anyway,a GS-T did get in though,and a 240sx won.

oh and those interior/engine shots are very old,ill update them tommorrow.

oh yeah it is the october issue my bad ,its september now so its the october issue with a yellow Honda FIT on the cover,still page 216 at the bottom though,sorry for the confusion.and i sent mine in a month and a half or 2 months ago so yeah it took a little while.but you could still get in...

haha yes i sure am a reader.i forgot a few of my mods when i listed them,and forgot to make my own statement "Brian Says:" so they put in "Netscape just what you need." lol anyone who picks up the mag or subscribes let me know what ya think,pic was a lil dark also.but its still in a magazine:-)

thanks:)
