Thumbs up Adaptronic s6 Initial set up. Lots of fuel!

Hi all! I'm hoping for this message to land in the right section. I finally put my engine together. Connected the Adaptronic ECU S6 with the latest upgrade (14) on my 95 FD, with Windows 10. The engine fired. Lots of fuel shooting creating smoke and it dies. At this point its time to tune.

I'm a do it yourself-er so I did all the installs using all the info I could interpret from the forums, that is RX-7 Club and Adaptronic forum. The car starts but gets flooded and I have reached my level of knowledge trying to find different set ups provided by Andy and Turblown. For some reason I cant access the Adaptronic forum anymore . I need guidance on how to walkthrough the ECU and the base maps . These are the parts I have installed:

13bREW Street ported
Adaptronic S6
GT4294
dual wastegate Turblown manifold
Front mount intercooler
HKS SSBV
Rotary Works Throttle
Injector Dynamics 1000 primaries and 2000 secondaries
AGN-A1 coils (direct fire)
Walbro 400 fuel pump
Aeromotive fuel regulator

Feel free to ask questions about my set up and troubleshooting . I am not so much a computer guy but I've made it this far with no major help but the internet forums and you guy's experiences. Thank you in advance. I'm open for taking notes

I think we have something in common.I went through exactly the same thing..all car..no go.
So I'll just toss this out to ya.

All that money invested and no knowledge of how to tune will land you in the land of confusion.
The way that I got out of it was to set the car up as best as I could and then got it tuned by someone who knew WTF they were doing!.
Don't think any less of yourself to ask someone to tune the car.
It's your investment and frankly you are protecting it by getting it done right.

There is an Adaptronic section on this forum you may check out too.

You've got some good parts, it would be a shame to have a subpar tune considering you have no experience (and assuming the motor survives the trial and error). Have Eliot from Turblown remote tune it, it will be well worth it.

Thanks for the replies misterstyx69 and DC5Daniel. You guys are definitely right. I gave the car another shot tonight and no success. So right now the new plan is to contact the experts after setting up the car as best as I can. It's a bummer I've reached my stopping point. But again, the project is definitely hard earned money.

Today precisely, I decided to contact Eliot. I believe the trial and error times are over. I see how he makes this Adaptronic deal look so easy... lol. I'm working on it tomorrow and start making calls. I'll post my progress as I go. Wish me luck, and thanks again...
