Thread: vvl swap help

Great write up thanks! Well i got that throttle plate closed. This alan screw underneath the mani was too loose. I got the idle at 800 but it jumps when i try to drive it but if i leave it, it will idle there nicely. I cant give it much gas without it kinda bogging but its getting better. When i first start it, the idle jumps to about almost 2k and drops to about 1k than 800. The car dies when i come to a stop.

Sounds like you have to do some adjustments on your cold idle and TPS as mentioned above. In addition, if you're running a stock ecu for the time being, you'll have to bump up your base timing at the distributor to at least 20 degrees BTDC. I've seen some guys run as much as 22-23 degrees on a stock ecu so they wouldn't bog.

Thanks man! And thanks to everyone else for all the help! Ill try what you said

Sentraga thanks for sticking around with this build and checking in! Much appreciated

You're welcome; Hey that's what we're here for

Have fun with it

I will

Hey can i use a nismotronic ecu? On their website i dont see any for the b14 but i can give them a call. Know anything about this ecu?

Their website only lists B13/S13's....doesn't mention anything about OBD2 cars. You would need a step-down harness if you were going to use one.

Gosh dang! And i can't find calums. This sucks

Do you have a certain budget for the ecu? You can always get a Nistune.
