take the offer for the ecu
not the vafc
ok i just spoke to the previous owner.
He wa running a stock ITR fuel rail but used a Fuel Pressure Regulator to pump in more fuel. It worked for him on the track ..
hmm
Are you sure about this?....when i spoke to the previous owner (no names mentioned) he couldnt guarantee that it had reinforced valve springs...seemed a bit weird so i went and sourced a front cut instead...i'd do yer homework just in case.Quote:

Nice Car, you should get the new injectors something around the vicinity of 440cc and get a full computer like Power FC. It gives you a lot more tuning room later on and saves a lot of hassle and probably cost you less in the long run. I am running a tuned B16A with spoon cams, toda valve springs, spoon head gasket and I maxed out the stock injectors at 9000rpm (The cams allow a powerband between 5500-10000 but since it's a daily driver, I prefer not to).
bcause i was going to buy that engine...back in April / May..off the back of a truck...literally ;)Quote:

i might take u up on that offer with the ECU.
can u give me a buzz on this number : 0409 080 372
ta
just checked the codes..
was injectors and o2 sensor basically - Adam can u post what the codes were and see if anyone knows what the code 18 is for..
is definately running waaaay lean.. vtec was totally dulled out, the motor not putting out any torque - just like a starving engine.
after reading the posts on here (very entertaining) I think get the JDM ITR ECU, sell the VAFC and 'mugen' ECU, use the 'mugen' injectors and save up for Super FC.. as for a sky-high rev-limit, it's 'only' running ITR cams so revving past 8600 or thereabouts is pretty useless anyway. ther is no point havving an engine that can rev to 10,000RPM on paper if it isnt making any power up there.As for the valvetrain, Apparently the motor had TODA/JUN cams at some stage however if they were 'only' Toda A or B's or JUN stage I or II's, the motor may 'only' have relied on stock ITR components.
as for dragging on the 17th, I think you may not want to risk it at this stage. a rebuild would be another $3-4K.. is it really worth the risk ??
Motorplex wont go anywhere for a long time, so just try to be patient and get it tuned right before you go trying to snap the tacho needle :P
and whoever was asking about his 'tuner', you are right, he must have only been able to run it on a dyno with a wideband o2 sensor.. and yeah about all he could have done is retard the ignition timing manually.
ive never heard of a code 18...as for the 17th why dun u save yer gas for the 24th....FTO PFUN.

OK, we looked at the error codes last nite.
The funny thing was there were two orange lights flashing: The check engine light and the orange SRS light.
The orange SRS light sent out these numbers: 16, 18, 61.
ok this is what happened. 1 long flash then 6 quick flashes then pause, 1 long flash then 8 quick flashes then pause, and 6 long flashes then 1 quick one. So im sure we diagnosed them correct.
But what is code 18 ? if thats it ?
The check engine light is still on and vtec is almost non existant. You can hear it actuatin g at 4800rpm but nothing is really happening. It has no pulling power.
I have got Mugen groupA injectors with me now and im about to get them cleaned.
I know what u need to do Adam... take that motor out and give it to me hahaha!Quote:

Could it be maybe faulty sensors? or the wrong voltage/resistance on the sensors eg: O2 sensor? you had to get new ones didn't you? ive heard that if they are the wrong resistance they will throw codes because they go crazy with the ECU and the fuel etc...
Just an idea!
Mikey, ur learning B series engines :)
