Re: The sound of an ASCII turbo and a vid! - (Pg. 117) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Threa
havnt been in here in a while.. looks good clint.. things seem to be working smoothly with that new head, sounds beastly... in for more vids and the dyno pulls
my cars still taking a shit on me.. my passenger headlight bulb blew out on my yesterday.. the instrument panel is still not working. I have a feeling theres a short somewhere. Thats the only thing that I can think of. I picked up a haynes manual and i see what wires i should be looking for. I just have to get in there and rip everything apart to see whats up. If it is a short.. what can I do?? just run new wires? splice it back in? Ive checked every fuse.. everythings fine.. oh and i dont have a radio, because of when i reset my battery. i had the code written down.. because the sticker was gone from my car.. now i lost the code i wrote down.. so i have to get into my stereo, remove the oem unit and the code should be in the back.. but with school/work i cant find the time to do this

^you might want to try calling the dealer you got your car from for the code. if it didnt come from a dealer, you might be able to call honda and get it. just a few thoughts to save you some time and good luck with the guages.
car definitely sounds amazing clint. i cant wait to see it on the dyno.

That sucks Jose. Have you checked the pins on the back of the cluster connections to make sure none of them are loose? If you do find a short, it should be just a matter of tracing the wire to where it's shorting out and fixing it with a little electrical tape. Although it may be easier to just run a new wire. Chin up man, I know this sucks having beaucoup problems and no time or money to get them fixed.
Here's a vid of my open exhaust to check the baseline noise I'm working from while shopping for my new muffler. Alternator shipped yesterday, so dyno soon as that arrives and I get a hold of Chris to tune the new setup.

I did call the dealer, and I went to see them. The sticker could be in a number of places around the Honda vehicle. The most common places are under the trunk lid, under the fuse box cover in the engine bay, and in the glove compartment. Ive looked in all of those places, and they havnt been able to find it. And neither could I. This happened once before and they found the sticker under the trunk lid, however it isnt there anymore. The only sure fire spot its always located in, is behind the actual oem radio. I can look again, but I tried before and searched everywhere, no luck.
Clint, as soon as I find time, Im going to rip the dash apart and get behind the cluster, is there an easy way to find out what wire is shorting out? Would the answer lie in that Haynes manual. Pm me when you get a chance, Id like to know what I should be looking for in terms of a short before I actually get out there n take everything apart.
Sorry for the threadjack, your exhaust sounds bubbly, if that makes sense, your idle does still seem out of wack but im guessing its because of that alternator like you said before. how much of a tune have you done yourself since you put the new head on, on a percentage scale?
