serious richness, maybe worse (sr20det)
kinda noob question, i appologize in advance for the ignorance:
I have 1993 S13 SE.
I paid a shop to put in an SR20det + I'cooler + 5speed + coilovers.
I was purty unimpressed with the 202hp! So I scheduled some upgrades.
550cc injectors
Z32 MAF
GT2871
reflashed ECU (probably a big mistake)
boost gauge
piping blah blah
when i picked it up after these upgrades, she dyno'ed 319rwhp at ~19psi. Fun ride for sure. It hit the point where it's traction limited.
I like to get to know a car leaving it at 10-15psi boost. I put a bunch miles on it at once (road trip). The next day it wouldn't even idle. I noticed that the FPR had backed out and a plugged hose coming off of the BOV had come unplugged. I replugged and tweaked FPR until the car idles.
car runs like total crap, feels like a go-kart briggs/straton motor missing, and backfiring. white smoke.
then I notice fuel dripping from flanges before and after the Cat. Oil smells like fuel. Oil level higher now than when I picked it up.
maybe the injectors are staying open, maybe the reflashed ECU is all outta whack.
I ordered a wideband O2 sensor and a fuel computer (the XFC from powertraincontrolsolutions). i ordered these as tuning tools, but I think I gots' more problems than tuning.
should I pull out the plugs and look for gas soaked plugs? Should I pull the fuel rail and see if the injectors are pulsing as they should?
^^ i just read some of those tips by searching, but I dunno know what to do first.
