So got alot done tonight, Only thing left to go is the wiring (plug & play) and get a new bolt for the starter and it's done. O yeah and put the turbo ish in. Sorry for the crappy pic's but i'm tired and the lighting as you can tell in null.

So i got the car started last night, But not without making an $85 mistake, When i first went to start the car up i noticed that my PGM-FI relay wans't turning on to prime the fuel system, So after some testing i thought i needed a new one. So i went over to the local honda ass raping dealer and bought a new one for $85. Replaced it and still wansn't working, Well after som long though i desided to check all my engine grounds, And wouldn't you knew it, G101 wasn't making contact witht eh block so i cleaned it up and it started right up. Was really rough and choppy at start up, I switched over to crome from uberdata because uber was giving me trouble with my Ostrich and crome works fine, So for now i'm going to use crome to tune and uber to datalog, Then when i have the money i'm just going ot pay for crome pro. A few things i still need to do is wire up the WBO2, Replace the slave cyl, Put the shift linkage on, and connect the front bakes. And put all my interior in. So hopefully thing weekend i'll be able to get a desent street to for the vacuum parts of the map, I'm not going to boost until 1) i run all this shitty 87 octane gas out of the car 2) put at least 500 miles on the block. So i should be ready for a dyno tune in the middle of the week i hope. I'll post new pic's this weekend.

i think its pretty cool your using uberdata and crome. when i had my civic i was doing research on those programs. but i sold my civic before i could ever get a chance to try them.

keep up the good work man

Yeah like 6 months ago i was fed up with it all, But then when i blew before i could sell it two months later it really was just ceaper to full build it then buy a new car.




UPDATE

So last night i was out in the car trying to get Freelog to datalog with the wideband and the car was idleing at 1200 rpms, Nothing out of the norm for when starting up a new engine. I went to give it alittle gas to get it up to 2000 rpms to see if that would settle the idle. Well i hardly touched the gas and it jumped to 4k and then a horible noise up in the head, so i killed the motor right away. It was late and cold so i just went int he house and went to sleep. All night and all day today i was thinking about what the problem could have been. I really though that one of the rocker arms poped out of socket and was floating around. I've has this happen before ( If you know what the rockers are like on a LS comp'd to a vtec head you'll knew what i'm talking about. Anyway i got home from work today and took the valve cover off, I didn't notice any thing wrong in the valve train. So i pulled the plug and went to turn the crank to i could rest that timing, becuase i figured thats the only other thing that would sound like that. So i start to turn the crank to the intake cams wasn't moving, the belt was just skipping. So i ripped it the crank side of the motor apart, and for some reason the tensioner just stuck in the expanded posion with the bolt really tight. any way i re-set the timing and put everything back together, Started up perfect, The idle is just a tad high and i have a CEL but with the basemap that i'm running right now it's a fucking dream. CAlling it quits tonight but everything will be 100% finished by sunday morning (I hope), and i'll be ready to get it tuned on tuesday.

So last night we did some more work on the car, And i wen to take if for a drive and my headlights didn't work. So this morning i went out and took it for aliitle drive. And i must say even with the base map if feels nice. So I started pulling fuses to see why the headlights aren't working and all fuses are good, under dash and hood. Anyone got any ideas? Also sence i was getting a code for the IACV i started to trouble shoot it, First i pulled the connector on the IACV and check for batt voltage on the #2 vin and it was good. Next i checked for voltage on the # 12 pin on the A connector at the ECU. That was good, the next thing my helms tody me to do was put a jumper wire between 12 ans 10 on the A connector and listen to see if the IACV clicks, well i jumped the wires, got a huge spark and nothing. But now i have no power to my radio, turbo timer and no power on the 12 or 2 pin? All fuses are good and i can't figure it out!!!
