Just finished rebuild, hickups and stalls.
First off I would just like to explain why I am posting on EvolutionM. You guys helped me in the past with a timing belt issue during my rebuild. Also I have already tired DSMTalk with not luck and I just get stupid responces on DSMTuners. I just have some quick questions about my 97 GSX which I think you guys will know they answer. Hey at least they are both 
I just finished up a rebuild on my 97GSX. I bought it with a blown HG. I did basic rebuild, ring, bearing, timing belt, tensioners and pulleys, water pump, plugs, bsek, mitsu mls hg, arp main and head studs. Here are the mods to the car.
2.5" TBE w/testpipe
Spearco FMIC, had long route piping modded to short route
ACT 2100 w/ findaza
RC 550's
Inejn Intake, Apexi Filter
Turbo XS BOV converted it to recirc
Walbro 190 - will install it friday
Apexi AFC-II
Greddy Profec B, hopefully I can figure it out how to set it
Boost gauge
BE316g
Ported Mani to 7cm gasket
I bought a Innovate LM-1 wideband to tune with. I have taken the car for a quick ride up a short road and around the yard. I just have a few questions. I am new to turbo cars and switched over from a 94 Camaro that I built the engine in. The car sounds good. Likes to stall alot. It does have a aluminum flywheel. I was told sense it has less momentun with that flywheel stalling is common, is that true. It stalls if you rev it up and dont catch it or when I drive up the hill in my yard and stop at the top it will go down to 200rpm studder and most of the time catch itself. The car seems to run fine out of boost. But as soon as the rpm start to get higher it breaks up hickups and studdards. I think it maybe the poor gas mixed with the 5 gallons of 93 I added the other day. Could this also be from it running rich because it has 550's and isnt tuned yet. Or is it a ignition problem. I just put in new NGK plugs, but it is the stock coil and has older Magnacore wires. I will have the car on the road finally tomorrow and will take it for a drive. Hopefully I will be able to start tuning later that day. Also the car dosnt seem to build any boost, I havnt open the car up or anything but I am not sure if the Greddy EBC is set correctly. I wish the car has a MBC. Also I did to a compression test and it was low 160's across the board so it seems fine. I will have some more info for you guys after I get to drive it. Thanks
For anyone that can help
