thats why i said i cant confirm its sluggish. what i do know for sure is my fuel mileage is crap. in my head it makes sense that if its running that rich and burning way more fuel then it should then there has to be some kind of power loss aswell.

Ok, I've read this post and there's lots of,,,expert advise and I add myself to that list, :lol: . Can we do a summation that may actually nail this problem down. I vote that part of the problem is his 2.5" exhaust but I also feel one very important issue may of been over looked or I over look...

So I just got done reading the 8+ pages of your thread. You have failed to mention what plugs and wires you are running and when was the last time you did routine maintenance (fuel filter, TIMING BELT, TIMING, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coolant change, oil filter, etc). I know... its stupid to ask s...

Yes it does. But I'm using a de ecu/vaf. And I'm thinking k8 objectors would be a good way to ruin the engine. The idea is to get an ideal fuel trim, not go super lean.

i got a chance to play with the labscope today. from the readings im thinking the rear o2 is dead. front O2 = Green Rear O2 = yellow rpm held at 2000rpm http://s878.photobucket.com/albums/ab341/mikeinaus/?action=view&current=VIDEO0005.mp4 different scale http://s878.photobucket.com/albums/ab341/...

...a shame this is getting parted canada is trippin, some members on here have way rustier shells . this car looks mint and its has all those extras :shock: it would be a great base car for someone to start off with. I hate how there is so many lame laws and rules forcing us to buy new ugly cars to...

ill talk to my teacher about going for a test drive. were in electrical atm and its driving me nuts. i havnt done math in like 10 years lol and i cant wrap my head around the different laws and rules for figuring out loads and everything...

replaced it a couple months back and confirmed its in spec by testing it with the water/thermometer and voltmeter...

tried 2 different sets of injectors both ze/de ones... bluetops i think they were??? wheels are spinning freely. front bearings are new and the rears are fine. ebrake is not dragging it needs to be tightened if anything. alignment was done last august. ill see if i can get it hooked up to a labscope...

ok so changing the ecu to a de one has had little to no impact. my fuel mileage computer is what made the biggest difference. however i have quit my delivery job and im doing more short trips rather then longer drivers so my mileage is getting horrible again. last tank was almost 13l/100km, 350km on...

last tank was close to 13l/100 km (18mpg) all city with short trips. god i hate my car...

i think most peoples desire for bigger brakes come from the pedal feel and nothing about the brakes. lets face it our pedals are spongy at best. you need to press them down quite a bite to get the brakes to come to life (compared to newer cars anyways). im not saying they feel like there's air in th...

the simple fact is to get any kind of modest NA power from the k8, you need to rip it apart and build it from the ground up. no one i know have has done this as its expensive + the gains are minimal compared to a cheap de/ze swap. simply throwing a chip on the k8 or even a custom tune wont yield you...

Anyone know how much of an impact on economy an improperly adjusted tps 8) could have with no noticeable effect on performance? My current tanks mileage was averaging close to 12l/100k. I unplugged it for shits and giggles and my.average has dropped to 11.5l/100k with more or less the same driving o...

those two could affect it. could also be due to a vacuum leak or incorrect tps/idle speed. whats your ignition timing set at?
