where did u get the clear lens?

they are 94-97 honda accord headlights.

they have 3 styles. stock chrome look, R33 style black housing, and these halo angel eye with projector style.

suites the r32 pretty well:)

i'm sorry... that looks ghetto. it doesn't even fill the hole properly. you should get an eyelid and cover that nasty gap... then it'll OK i guess. still doesn't curve the same as the indicator etc.

we don't have to worry bout DOT approvals on headlights here so we don't have to do ridiculous headlight swaps for compliance... thank god.

would be alright if you did a retrofit of the honda rear section and grafted into the front half of the standard r32 headlight.

well if it was a true projector setup, which i doubt at that year model - but it would fill that gap :(

Stole the words from out of my mouth!..

i dont like it when people dont pay attention to detail..

Just dosnt look right..

looks like when they put the Jap Spec lights on the civics and integras.. theres something just not right with it.. I cant put my finger on it

the problem that the R32 owners in canada face is that their headlights need to be DOT approved to register the car (sorta like our ADR's that our cars are complied to meet)... its an american standard, and as the R32 was never sold in the US it doesn't have that marking on the headlight.

Also the angle of the light is slanted so that it doesn't glare onto oncoming drivers on the right... but in canada the oncoming drivers are on the left... again... sucks to be attached to the US.

so unfortunately you HAVE to change your headlights to something DOT approved like ghey honda lights, or S14 240SX headlights or something like that if you wanna keep your car legal. There's a company now that makes Garage Infini style lights over there, which kinda solves the problem.

At least the R33's ahve plastic headlights, so changing em to comply with DOT regs will be easy as.

you be my guest and tell me which headlight to replace it with that was ment for North American Cars... tried and true this was the best fitting amongst GTRCANADA.COM and we should know what we are doing.. we need this to pass our inspection legally.

lol sorry martin, i didn't mean that to come across the way it did. I know you guys have little to no alternative, so I can empathise... but if you're gonna rock that on the street every day I'd get some eyelids made up to blend it better.

I'd say those ones that the company made up using a cover and two round lights to replace the headlight looks better.

I'm sure if you were given the option to run standard lights you wouldn't even think of using accodrd headlights.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
