Also running ID1000's that are a few months old, for some reason the datalogs wont attach so here are some screenshots of whats going onIm having an issue with my rsx, k20a3 stock motor EMUSA turbo kit 11-13psi walbro 255 return setup. When I first start it up and drive it around it does really good, then out of nowhere after about 30 minutes of hard driving, it leans out under boost. im going to switch back to the factory pump tomorrow and see if that changes anything. any suggestions are appreciated attatched are a datalog of when it runs good and one when it starts to lean out and hits lean cut
Please link them via cloud. From what I can see the operation points are different in load. I miss a lot of information, stated in the calibration and essential parameters like ECT. Could you please serve both, calibration and log.for some reason the datalogs wont attach so here are some screenshots of whats going on
Welcome to K20a.org @cbrsx.

What is not so fine (left picture) boost, INJ duration and lambda loose connection. That could be from a fuel leak, fuel pressure loss or similar. That is something really need to be investigated.
I attached the links below, Im checking all connections and fittings as i type this. It so strange that it only occurs after doing pulls for a while, then when i shut the car off and give it time to cool down it acts normal again. I have an AEM wideband attached and it reads very similar to what the OEM o2 sensor is reading, so it is definitely an issue with fuel. I am tuning the car myself so it could very well be an issue with the tune, if thats the case i will have to take it to someone more experienced. Thank you for the reply!Welcome to K20a.org @cbrsx.

I assume you are still in the process of tuning, otherwise I would need to state that tune has a numerous of issues which would need some attention not to scrap the engine finally, but the fuel lacking issue is definitely no tuning issue. The engine speed is almost same, boost is almost same, injector duration is a bit increasing, but lambda makes a jump.I am tuning the car myself so it could very well be an issue with the tune, if thats the case i will have to take it to someone more experienced.

I am still in the tuning process, i have not set up the highcam at all yet and i also havent touched timing since i have no clue on how i would even go about that (i am a noob) . So far i have just been touching the fuel tables trying to get it where it needs to be. During part throttle it is running lean but since i have been having the issues with leaning under boost i havent been touching the tables at all until i get everything settled there. In the picture i attached (not the setup i have, it is just a picture for reference) the red arrow is where i have the factory o2 sensor located and the black is where the AEM wideband is located.I assume you are still in the process of tuning, otherwise I would need to state that tune has a numerous of issues which would need some attention not to scrap the engine finally, but the fuel lacking issue is definitely no tuning issue.

Hence we need to talk about wideband probe location, just to check this option of failure. Could you please clarify for me where and how it is installed?
- may first impression was the fuel pressure is gone lost somewhere
- seeing the calibration an log in detail another option pops up, a too hot exhaust gas, which risks maybe the turbine and lambda probe.
Regarding the calibration status and setup.
- You know what the K20A3 is doing regarding valve actuation during low speed cam?
- You know what is happening to the oil flow during low speed cam?
- Your tuned lambda strategy is risky
- for the liner and oil management in WOT and
- the stock pistons on part load
- Do you run a thicker oil grade?
- How do you control ignition without a MAT sensor (manifold air temperature)
- Looks like you run this setup without boost controller or at least the evtl. mechanical existing one is not willing to open. Is that correct?
- IGT is quite out of control, ECU is retarding IGT up to 15°, can't see from which correction table it is coming, not from ECT and IAT as well as knock control. Do you have any other system sending a parameter to ECU, forcing the IGT correction?
I checked over the fuel system and it seems there's a leak between the fuel sending unit and bulkhead coming through it. I wouldnt think this would cause the leaning issue since the hose is attached to the bulkhead fitting itself, is it a possibilty that this could be causing my issue?Before TB. That engine has no MAT sensor, only IAT.
Actually the Honda ECU adapt the fuel mass according the fuel calibration only by two tables with respect to density: ECT and IAT over a fuel factor. If that IAT pin at ECU would be used for a MAT (manifold air temperature) sensor, then the correction table would reflect changes in vehicle speed or intercooler heat fluxes related changes to density. That approach would give the former IAT sensor a much higher value for the engine control, of which would not do justice to this. The stock IAT sensor is way to slow for a speed density like approach in a boosted concept.
The stock '02-'04 ECU is very limited, even for NA engines. Boosted engines can be done with it, but a quality calibration on highly transient boost looks differently. From my experience the '05-'06 ECU's are better on the knock system side, has a faster calculation capacity to cover this, but the distance to a real speed density system is still Amazonas river width like.
Seal it, test it, know itI checked over the fuel system and it seems there's a leak between the fuel sending unit and bulkhead coming through it.

Sealed it up and it made no difference, however I managed to find the problem finally! Walbro was on its way out (I knew it wasn’t suppose to be that loud). I’m looking into moving my IAT to the manifold itself but I can’t seem to find any info on that, since temps don’t move at all when in boost, is that normal? I currently have it located before the TB.Seal it, test it, know it.
These fail quite often and are a mess regarding efficiency and performance. I only made negative experience with the Walbro stuff....I knew it wasn’t suppose to be that loud...
Not necessary. The failure happen by not having a correlation of fuel mass and density of air is quite low once you run a lambda of 0.77-0.80 and less then 10° BTDC IGTI’m looking into moving my IAT to the manifold itself but I can’t seem to find any info on that, since temps don’t move at all when in boost, is that normal?
