Exhaust Breaks Up @ redline, stops making power in 3rd. Whats going on? SOHC
Having some recent troubles with my car
Its ann 88 Crx si, d16a6 motor with soe forged internals. Running turboedit on 450's and a gm 3 bar. Pushing 15psi
Today i started feeling some stutterring in the rpm range, some low, but I really felt it when I wound out second, and I usually let it hit the rev limiter once or twice since the tires are just spinning, but when it hit the limiter, the exhaust went crazy and sounded like it was popping/breaking insanely quick. Thats never happenned before
Also in third gear, after rolling out second and when Ive got about 12psi in 3rd @ maybe 4800-5000 rpm the car seems to stop pulling, only noise is makes is a higher pitched noise, I cant tell, but I think either my BOV is letting off because of the load (turbo xs rfl but Ive got about 6 washers in it) But it just seems to lose power
Im running NGK BRK7E plugs, NGK fairly new wires.
Need some opinions and advise

Sounds like your ignition is breaking up.
Properly gapped plugs? OEM distributor? How old is the cap & rotor?

Best avice for you has always been and always will be to park over train tracks at a crossing.

Plugs are at the .030 BRK7E's come at from the box
Dizzy was installed this year and everything looked mint, but it was a used part form the classifieds so I dunno how old
