boost questions....

[imprtguy_94]

k so this morning got in the car drove great hit boost a lil bit one time on my way to school which is like 2 mins away. drive her home go to work, then as im taking my buddy home he asked what boost felt like and i proceeded to show him, but for some reason i cant even get 5lbs of boost? im thinking either boost leak like crazy, or turbo has shit itself. opinions?:thinking:

VTEC controller fade. Add more air pressure to it.

Are you running an internal/external WG, and any kind of boost controller?


A little more information on your mods would be helpful.



But just in general, look over all the vac lines and ic piping to see if anything looks out of place.

what turbo are you running?

[imprtguy_94]

what turbo are you running?


the super 16 g why?

[slostang]

the super 16 g why?

thats internally gated.

[imprtguy_94]

thats internally gated.

and that would tell us what? cause im still learning about these turboed cars.

[dallasb84]

check your actuator too

[imprtguy_94]

UPdates.
poped the hood and noticed the piece of ic piping that goes from the ic to the motor had the rubber connector come loose the bracket wasnt even on it. so i tightened it back down, and went to school and tried to see if it solved the prob. the turbo wants to spool, but for some reason the motor wont take it, its kinda acting like it would if your cam angle sensor went bad. idk? any thing yall can think of ?

sounds like you still have a boost leak somewhere, check all couplers and clamps, if your turbo is really loud or sounds like its spooling its ass off you have a bad bad leak, or a turbo thats taking a dump

That's actually an old-skool trick to get a few more HP if your wires and ignition system is robust enuff to jump that gap - it's a bigger spark.

Also - look at my 1st post, this is EXACTLY what I told u the problem was.:rolleyes:
