Something else I just thought about... I was a petroleum supply specialist in the army for 6 years so pumps entertian me... perhaps it has to be primed? you could attempt to suck some fuel up manually then once some flows through try to start it... or force some down/in from a turkey baster perhaps?

 

mbo if the plug plugged right into the pump....then its hooked up right...fill that tank up and get to rippin...with all high flow pumps your days of mobbin around with the e light on are over.

 

yeah lightshow, I think I have to fill it up to get the thing "primed". Maybe using the turkey baster like sir nasty mentioned too, if things won't work. I'm going to put in like 10 gallons tommorow, and see what happens. Wish I could do it tonight, but the car is at my parent's house (my work shop), and I gotta work all evening.

 

lol my parents house is my official shop too..

 

Yeah... they love all my fun little projects just taking up their garage. Oh well, they would only put stupid junk in there so I might as well use it to some extent. i hope to have a house in at least a year. Gotta finish school and get a better job. blah blah blah. I just hope low gas is the problem!

 

I'm off to go fill up the tank today (after work). I really hope it cranks up! I've been reading a lot that people with the walbro can't go much lower than 1/4 of a tank before the car runs out of gas. I could live with that little quirk. Next on my list is bigger injectors.

I won a p06 on ebay last night for like 50 bucks. I want to get it chipped to use with my s200 hondata system that's sitting on my shelf. Anyone know what it takes to chip an ecu? Or where to get the parts? If it's all about solder, then I'm there.

 

yea chipping ecus are all about the solder.....you take out the old chip...then i would recommend soldering in a 'plug' so you can exchange chips on the fly.

 

Awesome. After I get the ecu chipped, i'll just need to find the harness from obd 2 to 1 and I'll get my car tuned. My friend actually gave me a harness, but it doesn't fit my car's wire harness. I also need to get the wires to connect the s200 to the ecu. Always a project...

 

So I topped off the tank and still nothing. I was pretty pissed at that point since I knew I had to drop the tank again and now it was full. So I drop the tank and get the pump out. I take the hose connections off the pump and I see that there is a metal piece that was stuck inside the hose. I don't know how the hell it got there, but that was the problem. Reassemble everything and go for a test drive and things are wayyyyy better. The car isn't starving for gas one bit. I have a boost controller on order (the manual check valve style kind that lightshow showed me) and I'm looking for another f22b2 to build up for some serious boost.

One problem I notice is that the wastegate spring is set for like 12 or 15 lbs of boost. It was supposed to be a 6lb spring (don't believe everything you see on eBay). I'm hoping I can take care of this with the boost controller. Needless to say, I didn't do any hard runs after I learned this.

After coming back from the test run, my nieghbor and his friend came over to check out what they just heard. The funny part is they're both mustang guys, and they had the hood up and the digital camera out taking pictures. haha it was great to see my honda get attention like that.

 

Congrats on getting it up and working well. Good to hear you finally have gotten about everything taken care of. I've been following this thread like crazy. Enjoy it man; living my dream
