[smoke187]

car is on the road but isn't running the best

it idles smooth but still a little high 1000rpms
its running rich 11.1
it sputters some times not sure what that's about just yet
it stalled out on me a few times
still running u code vaf i will be swapping that for rx7 or gtr
still has old plugs in it

[Mazda_Powered]

running rich on the bp55? or do you have the gtr ecu in it?

might just need to adjust the tps and make sure your vaf is at the correct voltage.

JACK.

first i ran it on the gtr ecu egt vaf it was running rich at idle about 11.1

then i put the rx7 vaf in and it is fine at idle 14-15 cruising but sometimes it will go lean to 17 and rich to 10 and and seem like its running bad and sometimes stall right out this is with no boost

i also had to turn the idle screw on the tb all the way in to get it to idle low enough to see 14 a/f at idle

i did attempt to boost it pulled 9-10 psi at i think 10-11 on the wide band and the turbo spool sounds sick and the bov is a big whoosh of air sound sick

[smoke187]

i just hope its nothing to do with the harness or how the universal o2 sensor is wired in

[smoke187]

anyone on here own a synapse bov with anti stall valve kit i want to know how far the bolt go's in before it stops i don't think mine is in all the way

[smoke187]

finely got the anti stall valve tightened up all the way now i am back to a 12.3 on the wideband

the new engine setup is more simple then when i got it if anyone has any input that would help please post

bp-performance fmic
