Hello Everyone,

I've been reading through the posts here and there a lot of good information. I wanted to introduce myself to all of you guys. I currently have a 96 Integra LS - with full Greddy Turbo kit utilizing EMB. I spent a lot of time fitting the turbo kit and doing all the fabrication and modding myself.

As for my car, I am running the it with EMB, Greddy Boost Sensor, Venom Intake Manifold, Boomslang Emanage harness, Golden Eagle Fuel Rail, Gold Eagle Fuel Pressure Regulator, Walbro 225 Fuel Pump, HKS BOV, Greddy FMC.

So far so good, the only issue is the stock MAP sensor I believe maybe bad and I also need to relocate my IACV due to the custom intake manifold. The idle is hunting, which seems to be a common problem with these cars.

The car runs great under boost, anything above 2.5k and the car comes alive and off I go. I just need to fix the idle soon. I have also sourced a cable myself and have successfully modded it and used it with the EMB. I found a Nokia DKU5 VEN6457 0232 - Huge Pine USB to UART driver. I will post any instructions if anyone wants them. I know the cable is hard to find and it took me 3 - 4 months to finally try it because it took me that long to actually get the EMB into the car and running.

Well, thats the intro. I look forward to conversing with you all.

Welcome! Great accomplishments. I don't know about Honda motors much, but on my Toyoter, I cap off everything on the IAC valve and I'm dandy.

How about a DIY for the cable? I know someone will ask for it anyways. I have a greddy one, but you can help others save some cash.

welcome to the site! I admin the site but right now im kind of half a$$ed becuase im deployed to Iraq.

As far as your idle hunting have you checked the FITV Fast Idle Thermo Valve?

I have turbocharged honda accord so mine doesn't liven up til 3k but i'll fix that when I get home. I plan on redoing my head to support 11k Revs reliability so I can really push the power. it's great to have you on the site!

As far as the FITV and IACV - the air that is needed for these two never make it to the IM because its a Venom all aluminum IM so the hole where the air would normally pass through the two ports on the TB and into the IM doesn't exist. Thats also the reason why I need a remote IACV because its a OBD2a and it uses the IACV to sense the load on the car and adjust as needed to keep the idle from dying from all the power accessories like AC and etc. Well, I think thats whats its all about. Capping off the IACV would would have work if I went to OBD1 and Hondata but I wanted to stay legit and pass inspection so thats why I stayed with OBD2a and the Boomslang EMB Harness.
