Re: b-series turbo problem
i took off the injector clips and crank a couple of times and then hooked them back up and it started but was really rich , i don't understand whats going on why was it misfiring with the stock injectors

Re: b-series turbo problem
i fixed it i put in the old injectors and it ran fine with no misfires and i guess me replacing the distrubutor did help because it doesn't misfire like it did with the stock injectors.

Dude its 7 psi. You dont need bigger injectors and you dont need to gap your plugs smaller than stock.. Your not runnin 14 or more psi.. And dont think i have no idea what im talkin about.. I only get paid to work on hondas for a living and train people... Like i said before, i have a stock y8 with stock ignition, stock plugs(stock gap), stock tiny injectors.. have a fmu, and a 255 fuel pump and runnin 9 psi no problems, no spark knock and runnin at just the right air/fuel mix without any kind of afc or fuel management.. if you need more fuel run a fpr.. Its not hard to get it right!!!
Oh by the way take your stock plantnum plugs out and get the one step higher which is a stock accord plug.. non platnum!! instead of the ZFR5F-11 you need ZFR6F-11

Gaping plugs should be considered on any boosted set-up. It is still boosted.
Putting a FMU or FPR on stock rail/injectors is just over-loading your injectors.. get it right the first time: right size injectors + a tune = happy Honda. I don't even think you really need a bigger pump for such a low amount of boost...

Re: b-series turbo problem
Yeah i hear ya.. but for such a lil amount of boost gapping the plugs smaller is just not really needed. takin the platniums out and goin a 1 degree colder non platnium plugs helps.. anything above 13psi with a 9.1 to 1 compression yeah thats when tuning and fuel and the right ignition is needed.. But this guys doin 7 psi.. not much you need.. im runnin 9 with no worries.. The bigger fuel pump i put in is just for when i upgrade to more boost and a motor build. i got it cheap so i put it in!

cheap-fast-reliable
Pick two.. lol.
I hear ya on the build, sometimes you just want to have fun and the funds aren't all there for a build.. same problem I ran into after buying the Teg.. no money to mod but plenty of fun from this gem.
Platinum plugs are really a waste of money... NGK V-Power plugs gave ALOT of difference in my b17a1. I tried the Platinums and Iridiums.. and the $1.77 ea. V-Power plugs rocked thier world.
V-Power Plug; BKR6E-11; DOHC; VTEC; Gap .052
The BKR7E-11 is the colder plug for boosted/sprayed applications.
Test it out.. they are CHEAP!
