Will my engine run on standard ecu??

If your not already going to do it then remove the spark plugs, disconnect the distributor and crank it over untill the oil light goes off before you attempt to start it properly.

Think I'll just do as above to lube it up and leave the rest to the tuner when my p28s300 arrives. Not trying it till the weekend but will report back my findings
 
Yes I wouldn't attempt to start it on a stock ECU personally, but then take that with a pinch of salt because I am not an engine builder or tuner. Maybe if it was running a normal plenum intake it would idle OK, but IMO ITBs are too unpredictable for the crucial first runs on a rebuilt engine.

rallypvc...very nice build specs. :)) Any pics of the itb?

The engine is not in a civic by the way
 
If bore wash and or detonation is such a large problem with a new set up such as mine how would the tuner prevent bore wash or detonation when they attempt to start it??
 
I would assume they will start with a better suited base map.
 
...you should be able to just start it up to see of you are getting correct oil pressure and leaks.
 
Does anyone think I'll need an updated map sensor or will the standard one be ok it's a b16a map sensor
 
I can not see that starting on stock ecu. Bring it down to your tuner or see can he visit you to get a safe starting map on there.

Standard map sensor is fine. How have you map sensor connected up? vacuum line from each runner?

He can't unless he has a really close base map. The thing what the tuner has over you is his wideband and ability to quickly adjust the fuel and ignition to prevent any damage. To be honest i'v never known a fresh setup start up good. The fueling always needs dialing in.

Yes alloy vacuum collector box with feed from all 4 ports then one out to map sensor is that the correct way?
 
hi guys not trying to highjack this thread but i thought i should ask this whilst this topic is in discussion rather to starting another thread on the same thing ?

my set up will be

B16a2 : Ek9 pistons
Dc2 cams
3 angle valve job
skimmed head


i will be using a p30 ecu , will that be okay to use to run it in and get it to my tuner who willl map it (approx 80 miles away) ?

Should be but try not put the engine under heavy load i.e no foot to the floor
 
thanks , how will i able to run the engine in good enough though ? i was going to use the motoman method..?

Not yet will I need to?

If you want it to idle when cold without holding the accelerator open then yes:D
Having 4 seperate vac lines from the runners connected just to Map sensor is best way of hooking it up, gives a more stable pressure reading.

Retard the dizzy 3-4degrees and don't beat on it too much. The engine won't need much mileage to bed the rings in.

There's 2 pipes on the iacv do they both go to vacuum box then or somewhere else? If so where?
