Your first four issues are indicative of a rich mixture. How do the plugs look? We need to get a wide band O2 sensor on it and plug it into my LM-1. I'm guessing you're in the 11:1 or even 10:1 range on the A/F ratio under 3500 rpm and it probably leans up to 12:1 or around 13:1 under boost.

Well if it were running rich, what would be the course of action?

boost leak causes rich mixture and power flucuation under boost.

I've been fighting leaks ever since I installed the turbo engine.

hey man hows it going. Sounds like you are enjoying your car a lot. Well im bringing my car to z car garage today to let rob handle it since i have no time wat so ever. But at least my car runs just runs very poorly but im sure rob can handle that. I want to try to make it to the next meet but im not sure if my car will be done. Ive been hanging around hondas too much... but i would have to say the jdm parts and the aftermarket to honda hands down is soo muich easier and cheaper than owing a datsun. DATSUN = CUSTOM EVERYTHING!

Boost leak, eh? The plugs look fine. Brand new. Where would i start to look for leaks? How could i tell if it is leaking? Also, what about the injectors. They are the original ****. Could they be bad? FPR? I priced injectors and even with my playa price discount they are uber expensive. around 80 a piece. Crucial. . .

Damn . . i dunno about you anymore man. You listen to yourself? The reason everything for honduhs is hella cheap and easy to find is cuz EVERYONE HAS ONE. Its a friggin grocery getter. A gas saver. A mom and pop kinda car. The chancesx of having a unqiue honda are slim to none.
How many clean running turbo S130's you see out there? ****, how many S130's do you see on the road in general? I preffer to drive something that Sam, Bob, Chuck, Chung and Tyrone cant pick up at the local ricer boy shop. Just cuz its custom doesnt mean it has to be expensive. Dude . . .you so let me down.

I definately agree but the only thing I actually miss about my DSM was the ease of getting parts. Every damn thing on my Z has been custom fabricated but in the end its all worth it because I have a car like no one else around here.

And your car is looking awesome, good luck getting it running right
