Turbo Progress

[iamanonymous]

also an h22 internal coil obd1 dizzy would work (93-96 lude) pretty sure

I searched and that's what I came up with. h23/h22 work. So I have to go have a little chat with my mechanic

[Clueless]

happy to hear it wasn't somethin detrimental

bent valves to my name.... how would you convert a dizzy from internal to external?

its fairly complicated. i believe bustedlx made a writeup.

[92ex]

well, I changed the dsitributor out, and it turns out that's not the problem. my mechanic doesn't know what it is, but the engine isn't sparking

oh great....another weird ass problem....isnt there some kind of ignition relay or something that goes out for no reason...my heads foggy....anyone got any ideas

[92ex]

well, it's either three things, and once I replace them, if the car still isn't working, you gonna see it for sale. I'm getting hassled by my parents about it, and I need a car. But here's the deal. Power get's to the distributor, but from there it's not sparking. So it's either the distributor(replaced that today), the distributor cap/rotor, or spark plugs wires. I'm gonna replace the cap and wires tomorrow, and if that doesn't work, a h23 dizzy, and if that doesn't work, I won't have the money to swap engines so I'll sell my turbo kit, f22b head, f22b block, and part the car out. I hate to be pessimistic, and I don't want to sell this car, but I really don't have a choice.

Stupid as this sounds, buy a beater, got my 85 escort for 100bucks, put a dizzy in it and pads up front and wham I got a $140 daily beater! Great on gas! Now I can turbo as I feel!

As for the internal - external coil, Honda Tuning mag had a write up and its not that hard, you need an external coil and a few other things but its way cheaper than buying a new cap with ext. built in!

well turns out it was a shorted alternator wire. Car is fixed. Now I have some more somewhat bad news. I blew a charge pipe today.... and the pipe got ran over. SO no turbo until I get anothe pipe and t bolt clamps. At least this gives me time to get my wideband on.

When it rains it pours huh! LMAO!!!!one!!1!!!
no pain no gain right lol

[iamanonymous]

thats the thing about hmt's it never goes smoothly....so what dizzy are you running? im looking to convert to external coil myself...so i can run a blaster coil. just curious if thats your plan as well.

[92ex]

not anymore. If your converting to external probably go with the h23.

I swear, I can't have my car running normal for more then 10 MINUTES! Last night we fixed the charge pipe, welded it on, replaced the exhaust manifold gasket. I was driving to a friends house, hit 8 psi at 4k-5k, shifted and put it in nuetral to coast, and it began to surge from 1k-3k. Now whenever I idle or put in nuetral it surges. WTF!. So this morning I went and checked all vacuum lines, looked at the egr a little, and I can't figure it out. It's not the ecu, I burned three different maps and all idles are the same. I kinda think its the MAP sensor, but it runs fine except for idle, so I don't think it's that. Anyone else experience this?

[MRX]

how's your FICV set?

[92ex]

haven't touched it. But it only started idling wierd after I wound the engine out that one time. but the FICV doesn't involve the engine surging, does it

[moneypitaccord]

yep tighten it down fixed mine and quite a few others have done their valve's here to mine runs perfect 800-1000 rpms cant even tell the cars running when i'm out of gear coasting.
