Finally!!!!!! My car runs great! The main thing problem was the entire wiring harness. It had a short in it causing other things to mess up. The piggy back was also bad. The map sensor had to be replaced again. Also, they set the psi to 10-11. I still can't drive it too hard right now...

Just giving a update (my car was looked at again about a month and a half ago)...Jamie at TVR found that the piggy back was making it have a lot of problems. For some reason, one of the settings was making the V-tec kick in at the every rpm...that's why is was soooo slow from the takeoff; it was...

I installed the map sensor last week. The car still runs like crap. It sounds like it is knocking when engine is on and car parked. A few people have told me it sounds like something wrong with my pistons. I am dropping the car off tonight and they are looking at it tomorrow. A friend...

I got my car tuned down to 7 psi on Thursday. I went ahead and purchased a stock map sensor. I just wanted to know if I have to adjust anthing with the ECU, etc. to work with a new map sensor or should it just work by replacing it?

Did you ever get this fixed? Just wondering because my speedometer doesn't work sometimes. Then, it will just jump up to the correct speed and start working. Not sure why though.

oh yeah...another thing is that my engine smelled like it was burning when I lifted the hood today to check my fluids. That's the best way to describe it is "a burnt smell." I forgot to add....about two weeks ago, my car was backfiring real bad...right after that, my car overheated. I had...

Is there a way to test my stock map sensor to see if it needs to be replaced? I know it only can handle up to 10 psi, and I was running about 13 psi for a few months. I didn't know if that would make it go bad, or if it just wouldn't work properly at the time when going over 10 psi. I was...

Well, I'll just have to save up some money to purchase either an AEM EMS or Hondata. I don't want to only run 7 psi when I spent $7500 for the turbo and to have my engine rebuilt. The edelbrock tech said I can't tune the piggy back over 7 psi. I asked what I should do if I do want to run my...

Since I am going to have my car tuned down to 7 psi, does anyone have any suggestions on which map sensor to use? Should I keep the new motorola 2.5 bar map or return it and purchase a stock ms. I just wonder if the 2.5 will operate properly, or if there might be any problems.

New News...the same day I received the 2.5 bar in the mail, I also received an email back from a tech at Edelbrock. I told him how much boost I was running; he said, "The Performer X kit is NOT designed to have the boost changed. The piggy back fuel computer is only tuned to 7 PSI. Yes the...

I'll have to save up for that. In the meantime, I am still waiting to receive the motorola 2.5 bar in the mail. Someone suggested that I still don't drive so crazy after installing until I get it tuned. So, I may have to drive normal till I can afford Crome or Hondata. Oh btw, I've been...

Alabama doesn't have an emissions test. Also, is it recommended to update to crome or hondata, etc? I see most people upgrade to one of those.

Here is what I found so far about obd2 background and tuning (taken from OBD-II Background Information). " OBD-II and performance tuning While the vast number of drivers want nothing more than dependable, economical transportation, many of us are looking to OBD-II for extra performance...

Well, I def. want my car to run the best. I am still stumped on keeping the OBD2 or convert to OBD1. It looks like most people convert b/c you can tune it better... Not sure on that, but that's what I get from people's posts. But on the other hand, I would think staying with OBD2 would be...

Cool thanks. Yeah, that was some very helpful info. I'm starting to understand everything a little bit better. I went ahead and bought the motorola 2.5 bar map sensor kit on ebay from xenochron. He said it will work with OBD2 and a stock ECU. I am a little worried about running it hard...

Well, I assume it is obd2. I never changed it from stock (B16A2). Would that be correct? (not real knowledgable on that stuff...in the learning process). Oh, if this helps at all, I checked the info on the piggy back and ECU. The piggy back says Motorola SECM0403P. And I have a stock...

I haven't. not sure if the guys at the shop checked it. Here are some updates since the last post: there were some loose wires on the TPS; they soddered them back. Now, it is my map sensor that needs to be replaced. I'm thinking about going with the motorola 2.5 bar. I'm just not sure...

Cool. Thanks for the info... Well, I've done some research and it sounds like the motorola 2.5 bar is def. the one to get hands down. I'm assuming this should work fine with my stock ECU since the turbo came with a piggy back system. I plan to get the moto 2.5 bar and have my car dyno tuned...

Oh. I had posted the first half of that msg before I saw your msg. No, I don't plan to run any more boost. I've had to many problems with 14 psi to even think about it. lol. This may be a dumb question b/c I didn't do a lot of research on that 2.5 moto, but does it replace my stock map...

I just read online about an Apexi 3-Bar Map Sensor. Does anyone know much about this? Would it be better than a stock Map sensor? And would I have to do anything special (like tuning, etc) or is it just plug and play? Btw, where can I find the moto sensors that you are talking about (up...
