Ok so I just finished putting everything together. Also put the 3" ebay exhaust. Sounds pretty loud! Now I just need to finish up my tune. Hopefully everything goes ok this time.



Will get better pictures once I finally wash the car. It hasn't been washed in like 9 months!

Just got the car dyno tuned.



Not as much as I was expecting but it will do for now. Had the same problem with the needle shooting down to 0rpm. Was happening driving back. It would rev up to 5500rpm then wouldn't go anymore. Car was also only boosting 7psi when it's supposed to boost 10. I'm going to try my bros dizzy and that fixes the problem ill probably buy it off him or get a new one. Tuner said with all these problems fixed I can make 250whp easy.

what were the problems with the dizzy? any other problems? other than that car sounds healthy

[andrew1320]

The needle shoots down to 0rpm when I hit 5500-6000rpm. It's either a problem with the coil or igniter. I changed the coil with a ebay one but it still does the problem. I'm going to try the dizzy off my dad's 96 integra. I'm guessing they're both compatible?

And the other problem is that i'm only boosting 7psi with a 10psi spring. There's either a boost leak somewhere or the spring isnt really 10psi or vacuum source isn't the best.

96-01 dizzys are the same for ls and b20

Thanks for the confirmation. Very curious to see if it will fix my problem. Would be a quick fix if it does!

What plugs and wires are you running?

How's the battery ground into the chassis? Unbolt it, clean it up real good with some sand paper. Slather the exposed metal with dielectric grease and bolt it back down.

Also make sure the post terminal is not loose.

Im using ngk 7's and stock wires.

Everything is clean and tight with the battery. I don't think that would effect my rpms?

I'm waiting for my dad to get home from work so I can switch dizzy's lol.

[andrew1320]

Well I switched dizzys over and it still does it. Only thing I didn't switch were the wires. Going to get new wires to see if that fixes the problem.

Also have a coolant leak from upper rad hose and a broken stud on the exhaust manifold >:|

Okay, battery is good. Now check the transmission ground. Make sure it's there and make sure it's not corroded to hell.

That's the main engine ground.

You can measure the resistance on the plug wires to make sure they're good. The chances of all 4 deteriorating at the exact same time and causing this issue is slim to none.
I'm saying - dont waste your time even bothering.

[andrew1320]

I checked all grounds and everything is good. I switched dizzy's and I'm still having the same problem. Last thing I can do is try my bro's new dizzy. If that doesn't fix the problem idk what else to do. But on the brighter side, I checked on tial's website and you can put a big and small spring together to make more boost. Since I have a 10psi spring in now and only boosting 7, I put a 3psi spring (came with wg) and 10psi spring which which should make me boost 13psi but it's boosting 10psi.. right where I want it!

Finally took a pic of the car. It's been awhile lol.

Technically it's not "clean" because I haven't washed the car in about 7 months lol. But thanks!
