can the smoke be from running too rich? I can source an AEM wideband from my buddy. Will the stock (D15A3) ECU work or should I get my hands on a D16A1? Wouldn't that mean to use the Acura injectors as well?

KSousa, thanks for all the input and help, could you link me to the proper fuel pressure regulator?

Hey guys, so it has been a little while since I worked on the car. I hit a little rough patch and got really discouraged about everything, which led to me not having much of a drive to work on the car. Anyways, in other news I have the wideband sensor now. I took the header off the car and just need to get the bung welded in. I'm thinking I should just get the exhaust done all at once, I still want to do the side exit exhaust but I'm not sure how I should go about doing that if I can't take the car to the exhaust shop. Still haven't been able to find an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Really want to get this thing finished but its hard when I feel like I've wasted all this time..

 

Thanks guys,

Jeremy

What kind of adjustable fuel pressure regulator are you looking for?

There's really not a good way to get a custom exhaust done without the car there. It won't fit right unless the fabricator can put it right on the car. It's worth the effort to get the car to the person who will make the system.

You've come too far to give up now. The hard work is already done!

I'm not sure, I heard an adjustable fuel pressure regulator from a Mitsubishi Eclispe will work. I have also heard that a 88-00 adjustable can be made to fit. Still not sure if it's a Air/Fuel problem.

 

That's good advice. I will probably just tow the car there. and have them install it straight to the car.

 

Thanks for the motivation. It's challenging but I need to remember that the hard part is over with.... Now it's just the fine tuning part which is difficult because it's not like I can look up my exact problem in a book or online easily, it has been hard to find and hard for people to diagnose over the internet without physically seeing the car.
