On the right track!

Well I got the car running well enough to drive thats for sure. Still gettin those codes being thrown. I posted all this on another honda forum and the guy who i bought the car off of saw it and actually called me directly! I now have the shops name who did the origional build and programming on my chipped P28 ECU. Just got off the phone with him at Auto Illusions in Toronto ON. Have a appointment for this tuesday. He beleives it to be a air to fuel ratio problem since the air flow was obviously largely increased from this modification. Fingers crossed and wish me luck... wooohooo.
 
Lessons We Learn

Well the car fixed and running MINT!!

I took the car to Auto Illusions pro tuning shop. Within 30 minutes they found a missing or-ing on my MAP sensor.

As well the idiots I hired to install the manifold apparently screwed me and told me they used all appropriate gaskets. this was not true. They used god damn "liquid gasket" on my throttle body!! This shit oozed into the airways on the trottle body almost completely clogging them. Once it was removed and a proper gasket was installed it ran much better.

Also I learned that mostly anybody with a H22A4 that has a P23 ECU chipped eliminates the use of the IAT sensor! (Intake air temp) As well the EGR is not used at all.

My car needed a slight tuning for air/fuel and then it was mint.
