Default I am now boosted... but having small problems.

ok about 50% of the time my car will start to bog or hesitate whatever you call it. its only in the high rpm's too between 7000 to redline.

I am running 5lbs of boost on a b16a with stock internals. bluse I am using the vafc hack. I will elaborate later I am too tired!!!!!!

ok. its time to elaborate now... ok when I have been driving my car alot or driving it hard. after oh I would say about after 2 or three runs it starts to shake or bog or hesitate. my fuel pump has gotten kinda loud lately but I wouldn't think that has anything to do with it.could it be because the turbo is getting hot and its pushing hot air, and its not liking it? I am confused on why its acting up like this. thanks for the help!

have you had your car tuned? IT sounds like the very familiar hesitation problem with the vafc hack. I have not tried this yet cause my project is not finished but I have read to alleviate this problem have your car street tuned to propery tune the partial throttle maps better, this is why your having the hesitation, to much fuel.

what kind of bog tho. because I have felt a few types. like the one where your alrenator goes bad, the kind where your plugs and wires are bad, and the kind where you are too lean, and the kind where you are too rich... because you said it flooded it with fuel, but I dont know what that feels like. never had that problem.

DONT CUT MORE FUEL OUT !!!

it might not be to much. fuel. .. it could not be enough fuel. with you saying after a few runs it starts to bog. . hotter air = better chance for detonation

what are your a/f readings. if it's bogging because of lack of fuel and you take more out, you could be finding a new engine real soon.

i would suggest adding fuel and seeing if it fixes it, better to have to much then to have not enough.

yeah I am pretty sure its a mechanical problem, because I will puch it and it will hall *****, or it ill lean out like at 6500 or 7000. whats also gay is my tach is not working properly and it jumps all over the place at high rpms. so I have to shift off of mph. gay. I am going to go reinstall the pump right now.
