Help with B20B turbo

Post by That150 »

Hey guys, I’m a little stumped here. Not really sure what’s going on, really hoping I didn’t get a bad ecu. I have a turbo B20B setup in my civic. Got a KS tuned black ecu. Drove the car into the garage on it’s chipped p28. Plugged in the KS tuned ecu, loaded up a stock B20 map, input the injector size/dead times, everything.. car won’t start. I noticed the “distributor error” is “on” in the sensor column. Tried for hours playing with different settings to see if car would fire, tried starting fluid to see if it was a fuel issue, nothin. 4am now I threw in the towel. Plugged the chipped p28 back in and the car fired right up.. (which it shouldn’t have if their was something wrong with the dizzy..)
I’m no pro by any means, but I have used the software before and tuned cars with great success.. so I’m not sure what I’m missing (or not missing..?)
If anyone has a map they would be willing to allow me to try or any advice/help whatsoever to point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!

Have you looked in the vault for a calibration that is close to yours?

Yes. Closest one is a stock B20. Also B20 with cams. Neither works and like I said it’s triggering the distributor error code and not firing even with starting fluid so I know it’s ignition related. Just not sure why it won’t even start with hondata but if I plug the chipped ecu back in it fires up like normal

Have you verified that the Hondata equipped ECU will work in another car? The ECU may be bad, the S300 may be not connected to all the pins correctly, or the pins may have a bad solder job on them.
