Default turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???

ok, I have 450 injectors, s-afc, t25 on a 93 civic d16Z6. I've checked for spark, my injectors are pulsating. I called an import dyno and they told me some settings so that I could start my car, but not drive it. Im going to traler it there, but the settings he gave me are
hi-throtl----0
lo-throtl-- +20 all the way across.
Th-point---lo 30% hi 80%
ne-point---1000rpm incraments
dec-air---nothing set
it sounds like it's gonna start, but never does. I was told to floor it when im cranking it over so I don't flood it, but and it almost started then, but not.....any suggestions??

use these setting

follow the manual instructions exactly for the AFC and then make these changes to begin with.

also if you have DSM injectors, remember u need the resistor box. (if u have a 92+ civics like in your avatar)

hi-throtl-- -39 all the way across.
lo-throtl-- -39 all the way across.
Th-point-- lo 30% hi 80% or lo 98% hi 99%

i am using lo 20% hi 80%

Did you ask the guy if he knew how to tune "the hack"... It seems weird that he would give you zero or (+) positive settings when they're all supposed to be negative. :P

just do what i told you to, and it will start, i sounds like you are giving it WAY too much gas, tha +20 setting on the AFC, to a point where it will not run/start.

let me know what happen.

ok, I set it at chingro4u's settings and it started after a few mins of trying. It's a little rough, idles about 1100-1200, then when I just bump that gas it's rough. oil press was good for a few mins, then dropped down to 50psi, so i'm gonna add 1/4 qt. in and see what happens. i'll report back later.

keep messing with the low TH settings until you get it to idle right. at first i set mine at -35 all the way across lo and hi, but it was idleing rough so i adjusted the lo 1000 to about -27 and it was idleing perfect. you just have to play with it.
