I bet your cold idle was like 2000rpm too wasn't it?

well, I think I need to bump the FIV up a little, I did have a vacuum leak, and I plugged it, and my idle dropped to 600rpm and then it would stall. So I took a vacuum line off to let it breathe some, that bumped the idle up to 1200. But i do need to adjust the FIV. Might try to do it this weekend. But the car is actually running normal now, and has some power, still a lot more there in the tuning.

question, I am going to install the wideband today, all I need to know is what pin # is the narrowband on the ecu. I have the zeitronix kit, and I need to add the wire that simulates the narrow band.

well, I started the tuning adventures tonight. I am running Iamanonymous' old 1.66 map. The cruising a/f's are actually perfect(anywhere from 14:1-15:1), WOT is too rich, it's about 10:1-10.6:1. I leaned it out about to around 11:1-12.5:1 in 2nd gear. So 3rd/4th should be a little richer. I can feel the timing lagging, but that's something I only want to mess with on a dyno. And to make things really hard when tuning, I have a boost gauge, but I don't have a boost sensor for the zeitronix kit. So tuning right now is pretty hard, I have one guy in the passenger seat looking at the boost gauge, I look at the rpms, and another guy rights down the boost at what rpms. Fun stuff. I think my cyclinders are flooded now because the car won't crank even on the original map I ran for about 4 weeks.

The other day I met up with adam(h23accord), and we took a ride. I was telling him about my high idle, and he told me to screw the idle screw(go figure). Well I have been hitting around 6 psi all this time, and I couldn't figure out why. But I opened the idle screw up a little, got a little lower idle, and took it for a ride. 10 PSI!. oops... Closed the idle a little bit. I am hitting about 7-8.5 psi now. Man this things pulls real hard now. And I raced a BMW m3 the other day at 6psi, I lost by a car length 1/2 through 3rd. The guy was quite impressed with a stock accord with only a front mount intercooler showing to hang with him. I want a rematch now at 8 psi!

glad to hear it!

[H23Accord]

Awesome! Glad to hear that you worked out some of the problems you were telling me about when we met up. Sounds like it is time for another ride with the increased psi!

[MRX]

so what your saying is that we have a stock boost controller?

[92ex]

^ haha, yeah. its wierd, but it works. Did some more WOT tuning tonight, got everything about 11.5-12.3:1. One little dead spot that stays at 10.6:1, I'm working on that.
