Okay so i fully put a turbo kit in my car and when i drive it it always governs at 3k, i can not seem to get over 3k. Now my friend said i need to put a check valve in before the map sensor so i put one in and made no difference. I can not seem to get my car into boost. Does anyone have any idea why my car would govern at 3k. Im pretty sure i put the check valve in properly, it stops air from going into the map sensor but allows air going out. right? I purchased one of those really exspensive ones but they havent come in yet so i just got a cheak $4 from advance to see if it works., I got the basemap off of http://www.xenocron.com/ and the basemap i got for turboedit is ng48-PR4tune-19.bin and i changed the fi's to 240cc which is what mine are stock. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Jim

sounds like ur crank angle sensor in ur distro is bad.And u should be getting better managment then a check valve.

93supercoupe

sorry, didnt see the last part.
Check ur crank angle sensor in ur ditributor

how do i check it? Thanks

one time before i had my vafc/ jackson racing fmu i put one of those racing chips in my ecu it governed at 3k.... what do you have for engine management?? it might also be getting too much fuel and its cutting off

You might need more than one check valve. My old drag kit came with 5 I think.

i put a checkvalve in but perhaps i put it in wrong?

i put a zif socket in my ecu and i have 30 chips and a burner next to me so i can burn chips and put them in within a minute. What would i change in turboedit in order to trick my map sensor. I have a missing link check valve comming in but if i dont need it ill sell it. Thanks

If the check valves are working it might be a problem with your basemap. Try burning it again or use a different one.

Are you getting any check engine lights?

90AcuraIntegra04

ill see if i can find another basemap for my car. I am pretty sure the check valve is in right. I have it directly under the map sensor so air cant be put into it.

Bspec18

just to clarify, you didn't put the check valve in line right ? you put it using a Tee correct ? also one, didn't work for me try using 3. This is just a band aid, i hope you plan on using a engine management system

i had a 13 fast flashing on one chip cel and i have a constant red one with this chip.

LVB18Civic

The light staying on is a sign of a bad ecu or a bad chip. I would start there.

90AcuraIntegra04

the check valve i have has 3 prongs. the black one doesn't let air into the map then i have the 3rd one blocked off. I wasn't sure where to install it and how.

90AcuraIntegra04

i would assume its a bad chip because another chip i had had 13 constant fast blinks

exotik4doorcivic

i have four check valves on my car one tees of to the other and soo on then goes to my fmu

are you using a chip for your engine management or something like hondata/crome

LVB18Civic

Like Bspec18 said you want to tee it off the stock line not run it inline.

if u are running turbo edit, u DONT use check valves.
Put the stock ECU in the car and stock injectors.Get rid of ALL the check engine lights, then re-instal ur chipped ecu and find a suitable basemap.

U dont use check valves if are running turbo edit

90AcuraIntegra04

I know a lot about LS motors but i dont know as much about turbos. Where am i suppose to hook the check valve What do you mean stock line and not inline. Thanks, Jim

exotik4doorcivic

in the first post he said he was using turbo edit without a check valve and his friends dad told him to use one

exotik4doorcivic

The check valves are made to bleed of boost so the map sensor does not sense boost. If its run inline, it can bleed off the boost. Also if its run in line, the car will boost and push against the check valve and keep it closed so the mao wont be able to read vacum at all and make the car run bad....or not at all like a limp mode

Did you ever check the plug gap?

93supercoupe

take the valve out, reset the ecu and find a good base map, granted u have no major CELs.
I cant figure out why u guys are still talking about this stupid check valve.
Take it OUT

90AcuraIntegra04

I cant figure out why i have a solid light on my ecu. I put the zif in 100% perfect, i had one chip making it blink 13 times and the rest are keepin it solid. Where can i find a good basemap? Thanks
