THANKS!!

 

MY COMPRESSION NUMBERS ARE BETWEEN 230 AND 250... AND I HAVE A TEST PIPE... BUT THE CAR RAN FINE WITH TEST PIPE BEFORE.... ITS BEEN THIS WAY FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS... BUT IM FINALLY GETING AROUND TO FIXING IT.. BECAUSE I WANT TO FINISH THIS TURBO BUILD.. BUT I NEED IT TO RUN RIGHT FIRST...

 

There 's no need to write the hole post in all caps.

 

ITS IN CAPS BECAUSE I RUN A BUSINESS AND EVERYTHING WE TYPE HERE NEEDS TO BE IN CAPS... ANAL?

 

Your running a spoon hg and you plan on turboing your car? Not to mention you can't figure out what's wrong with it now. Imagine all the headaches your going to have after you turbo it.

It could be a ton of things... Did you tune your car?

 

So its a stock car with a ported head and valvetrain with HG? Stock ECU I asume. I am not familiar with emanage but can you adjust fuel tables with that and has that be attempted. Perhaps the stock ecu or stockish fuel tables can not keep up with the build head flow rate? Do you have anyother issue with running? No signs of a vacum leak? What are you pulling for vac at idle?

 

wow u think im that stupid.. come on.. did i not say i want it to run right before i boost it? ok think about what that means... no im not going to use that head gasket.. but i WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM FIRST

 

heads not ported.... castings are removed and exhaust side is polished... vac is at 30-24 at idle.... i tried tuning it before.. didnt make a difference....im attempting to retune it tonight.. if i can get thise damn aem wideband to work with emanage blue.... i was told white to white and grey to same ground as wideband.. well with that connected... car wont idle or run.. so itsnot right...

 

Does the vacuum at idle fluctuate from 30-24 inches? It doesnt stay at a more steady reading? Are you able to see what voltage reading the map has at idle and if that jumps around as well? The only things I am learning toward are a vac leak, low fuel pressure or restricted injectors. Did you swap the primary 02 with a honda one? Maybe plug off or pinch the purge control valve hose to make sure your not getting a leak from a bad purge valve?

Your not running e85 or a highly oygenated gas by chance?

 

this is what i did today to the car... i hooked up a snapon scan tool.. went into the data menu and ran the car.. check all voltages and readings and everything seemed ok... nothing rly jumped around at idle...
its not fuel pressure... bc i just put in a walbro 255 thinking it was that problem my self... and to back that up.. i hooked up my emanage and tune and drove the car... i literaly flooded the engine... and still couldnt bring it to rich...let alone any where near normal... it stays lean so tuning it didnt do any thing... weird huh? i kno im starting to hate this damn car.... i put a brand new denso o2 in... .. injectors it might be.. havent gotten to that yet.. thats next on my list...i really dont think its a vac leak bc it idles great
my acv is dissconnected and the vac line leading to it is pluged off...but i really doubt that the airpump would cause this issue.. since its been like this long before i ever did that... 93 and above

ill run a smoke test on both vac and emissions next week to see if it leaks... its like something some sensor or something is messed up reading things all wacky casuing eco to override emanage
