- Fri Oct 10, 2008 7:57 am #73611 Hi Guys,

Quite new here, been following the forum on several topics and got lot of help as well. Was searching the forum and couldnt find what i was looking for, so i thought i will post.

I have a track prepared S2000, which is for road use also, quite happy with that and well versed also.

I recently purchased an EG with DC2 swap from a friend, amazing car and in good runing condition. i stripped it completely, roll cage and all FIA approved safety stuff installed to compete in local touring car championship. Car was fine when i purchased, we had removed some stuff from the engine compartment and installed back in.

I took the car for testing and having the following main problem:

1 - The car suddenly starts stalling or feels like no fuel suddenly, sometimes it happens on the corners (but the fuel level is still high) even when i let off the throttle, the fuel gauge comes on half tank position, the car is still doing same, it suddenly works and suddenly stops (fuel or elecrtical) i dont know. Really need your help on this.

The mods i have on the car:

- B18C - Type R 98 spec complete swap
- Spoon ECU
- MSD ignition
- Spoon Spark Plug Wires
- HKS Spark Plugs
- Walbro Fuel Pump - Higher Capacity
- Thinner HeadGasket
- Spoon Headers - B Pipe -Exhaust System
- J's intake (Had the AEM, removed it)
- J's Racing Throttle Body (Had Spoon, removed it, might put it back)

There are lot more mods on the car which are to do with body and suspension, i can give you the spec for those as well, if required, but i think this problem is not related to those.

Can you guys tell me what are the possibilities? List all possible ones and i can get those checked, i thought:

- Fuel Tank Baffle or install Surge Tank? But no one else is having same problem? A friend has same car with K20 swap without issues, using same tank as mine.
- Something wrong with spark plug wires from Spoon? :s ... but then why does it run initially and it starts doing it after 1 minute of track driving and then suddenly it starts runing again after 1 minute and then again.
- MSD?
- Fuel Lines?

Thanks alot in advance for any help .. .quite desperate to sort it out cos racing start quite soon.

- TODA Spec C cams
- Individual Throttle Bodies

Which i will install later once the car runs perfect.

The civic next to mine is with K20 swap.

Here is another image for the other side.

So far i have refreshed the complete fueling system, change the fuel pump back to what it was from Walbro, new fuel lines, looking for a fuel filter now. Any other pointers?

- Wed Oct 15, 2008 3:00 pm #74398 Sounds like your engine is stumbling. I would check your TPS and MAP sensors as I experienced the same issue with mine, no power than all of a sudden power.

- Thu Oct 16, 2008 12:18 pm #74524 ^^ Thanks! Will check on those as well, didnt check them.

- Wed Oct 22, 2008 8:48 am #75499 Problem solved!!!

it was because of stupid 1.5 way LSD i had installed. may be the installation was wrong thats why.
