a.k.a. crabs!
ok heres whats happening... a few weeks back a friend of mine socketed and chipped my ecu for me keeping all my curves stock but smoothed them along with setting up launch control. turned out very nice. its got the nice little quick release socket (not sure of the actual name) so i can just pop new chips in and out.
but tonight marked one of the major points in the build. the fuel system! we decided to get things right in this area first and installed a new walbro 255 fuel pump. went fairly quickly though i still need to go out tomorrow morning and fight to get my rear seats back in properly. no biggie
we also pulled the stock injectors out. NASTY! there were caked up with some hella grimey shit. so what did we do about it? put some DSM 450s in of course! it was a bit tricky in a way. it mostly just seemed overwhelming at first and ill be the first to admit that ill let someone else do my electrical. so my friend wired up the new injector clips and the resistor box. it turned out very clean looking. looks like it came like that from the factory unlike some of the pictures on honda-tech that have a bunch of wires soldered together in a big ball. ya know... the ones that look like they are wrapped in tin foil because theres so much solder. while those were being wired together the old rubber seals were bored out with a dremel along with the hard plastic spacer things. pretty simple.
so with that all done we popped a new chip into the ecu the tuned the fuel down a shit ton. started it up and smoke poured out the exhaust and the check engine light flickered while the motor tried to stall. so we came to the conclusion that it was running just a bit rich lol. we burned another chip to put in and took it for a test drive. it runs amazingly! to make it simple... under max load the injectors are running at less than 50% :thumbs up
...and now... i go to sleep finally!
