BHR Ignition kit problem
So i recently installed the bhr ignition kit and have ran into some problems. To start off my gas has been burning really rich and has lead my car to pop like a bitch(dont mind the popping since its beautiful) and before the kit i was getting 100 miles every half tank and now I only reached 70-80miles half tank. Also I have aftermarket intake, midpipe, and exhaust and wondered if i just really need a tune. Thanks for all the help guys.

Did you perform the 20-brake stomp after installing the ignition?

make sure all the leads are going to the correct plug/ coil/ wire. Make sure you've tightened everything down to spec. .
Try resetting the battery (unplug for 30 min) and allow the fuel trims to reset |

Here's a good thread that lays out the differences between NVRAM and KAM https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tro...memory-169443/ |

No need to perform the 20 brake stomp when installing new ignition system.

IT might be in the intake also. If you pulled it apart and don't have it lined up right going back together.

I have an hks mushroom intake, rp supercat midpipe with hi flow cat, and borla exhaust system all have been installed prior to bhr kit but i will try restting my battery first
|

EDIT: Here's the thread with spark plug torque information -> https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-...change-145045/ |
So your first inclination is to post on the internet rather than contact BHR for advise? Really?

Second opinions are only helpful when it's medical.

Like Team said, do all the upgrades together. I did my BHR ignition, AEM intake and Megan exhaust all the same day. It's like a completely different car. I had a CEL after finishing the install, after about 50 miles of driving and turning the car off and then back on the CEL was gone.

When did I say that?

I'm not so old that I need to have words spoon-fed to my mouth yet :hahano:

Check the BHR leads are pressed firmly onto the sparkplugs - the clamps are pretty firm so you need to press pretty hard before they snick into place. Does the car idle fine? If so, while it's idling, gently pull each lead at the spark plug end and see if it starts misfiring. If so, the connection to the plug is no good. Did you connect the ground lead supplied with the kit correctly?
Rotocop, don't do all your mods all at once if you're not mechanically savvy - when something goes wrong after the install, you won't know which new part caused the problem. |
Deffinitley check those plug wires at the coilpack side. What a PITA it is to get them in there.
And I would also advise against doing too many related mods at once. If you come up with an issue, you'll be doing a lot of un-installing.. |
OP already stated that he already had all the mods installed before he did the ignition.....
Any updates, did you get to the bottom of this? |
