Post rebuild FIRST startup
-
I'll be putting my built LS/VTEC motor back into the CRX within' the next couple weekends here. The engine recieved quite a bit of work w/ forged internals (11:1), but nothing to serious. The care has a new intake manifold, TB, AN-R header and pretty much all your typical bolton's. I am planning on running a custom chip via BRE (similiar to uberdata/chrom to those of you who are familiar). I installed a Walbro 255 and am a little worried about running rich on the new setup, so I also installed an aeromotive unit to regulate fuel pressure. Being the setup isn't to terribly extreme, part of me isn't too worried about being in a rush to hop on the dyno (especially since I will have to wait a bit to get my exhaust made). Does anyone see a problem just trying to nail my A/F down with the FPR as much as possible, atleast until I get get on the dyno? Also, does anyone have ,or know somebody who has, a wideband I could toss in the tailpipe just to get idle AFR withing limits? I'd just need it for a weekend. TIA guys.

are you running stock injectors?

which header do u have.. sounds like ur going to have a quick car

With stock injectors you will be fine. Set your base fuel pressure at stock, which should be right around 38 IIRC.
As far as initial start up, unplug the ECU fuse and just crank the motor over to let the oil pump start to spin and get oil somewhat moving around inside the motor. Do that for 6 seperate 10 second bursts or so, and then plug the ECU fuse back in and fire her up.

Alright, great advice guys.
The header is a AN-R 2.5 inch collectore. I'm going to have SLS make me a full 2.5 exhaust.
Also, the car will have a 125 shot of direct port sooner or later (its what the motor was "built" for) but money is getting tight with all the little shit that keeps coming up.
