I have a 94 civic cx with a b20 vtec turbo.
Stock b20 block
stock b16 vtec head
t3t4 turbo
hks bov
aem feul rail
DSM 460cc injectors
stock map sensor
I've been working on this swap for over a year and can't seem to get it right, all I have right now is a base map to run on, but even on that, the car should start and idle.
I have data log's if anyone wants to help me and and take a look, I'm not getting any IGN on the graph. But I'm getting spark to all 4 plugs and its a brand new dizzy.
Ask any question's!

u still havent figured it out
ok a motor needs 3 things to run
fuel
spark
compression
u said it sparks

Thanks Chad!
I did have another thread titled somewhat the same, but it was for a different problem, that problem was fixed. Now I have this one. I didn't want everyone to have to read alot of BS that was off topic before finding out I had a whole different problem.
The compression is good, I had that checked about 2 weeks ago. I'm starting to think it's a wiring issue, whoever had the car earlier down the road messed with the wiring. I replaced the whole engine harness, but the harness going from the ecu to the strut tower is still the original. I opened it up today and looked at it, it's pretty cut up. I'm looking for a new one now, I talked to someone who might have one, but I won't know for sure for a few day's.
In the mean time, think, think, think....What else would cause this??? Anyone????

Problem solved!
The map sensor was calibrated wrong.
