YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING MY HATCH AND I JUST INSTALLED A TURBO ON IT, NOTHING CRAZY. T3T4 TURBO, TIAL WASTEGATE, SSAUTOCHROME MANIFOLD, BLITZ BOV, AND SO ON. ANYWAY I HAVE IT SET AT A MERE 6 PSI, IT WAS RUNNING FINE AND I WAS SHOWING MY BUDDY HOW MUCH BETTER IT RAN WITH THE TURBO, (IT HAS AN H22 IN IT). THEN I GO HOME SHORTLY AFTER AND SHUT IT OFF. GET IN IT THE NEXT DAY AND IT WONT GO OVER 2 PSI, THEN I CHANGE THE WASTEGATE SPRING TO A 12 PSI AND IT GOES TO 3 PSI NOW BUT IT STILL RUNS PRETTY GOOD BUT NOT AS WELL AS IT DID, I HAVE NO EXHAUST LEAKS THAT I COULD FIND AND I TIGHTENED ALL MY HOSE CLAMPS, WHAT COULD IT BE?

 

have you tried spining the wheel with you hand. Might bea faulty turbo

 

YES THE TURBO SPINS FINE HAS NO SLOP, WELL NOT BAD SLOP IT IS BRAND NEW. AND WHEN IT IDLES I CAN SEE THE TURBO SPIN VERY SLOWLY THEN I GIVE IT GAS AND IT GOES.

 

ALSO THE CAR STILL RUNS GOOD, BUT I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE BOV IS NOT AS LOUD EITHER. BUT YOU CAN STILL HERE IT. AND YOU CAN STILL HERE THE WHISTLE OF THE TURBO BUT IT IS JUST ABOUT AS LOUD AS IT WAS B4.

 

Check the charge piping.

 

WHAT SHOULD I CHECK FOR? AND IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY WASTEGATE IS MESSED UP OR WOULD I KNOW THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO IT?

NOT a needed posting... So the guy doesn't type like you think he should, big deal. No reason to be an *** and attack him.....

FYI sorry guy, but this really only made YOU look like the retarded one here. Next time try to over look the caps and read the questions, or don't respond. No one held a gun to your head and told you to reply or read his postings.

 

JUST BECAUSE I HAVE WROTE IN CAPS FOR YEARS BECAUSE I DO MECHANICAL DRAFTING AS A FABRICATOR AND TYPE IN CAPS.....WHY AM I A ******* RETARDED RICER? IM NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THAT. I POSTED A PROBLEM I HAD WITH MY CAR NOT MY TYPING.... IM SORRY YOU HAVE TROUBLE READING ALL CAPS. DICK!!!!!

 

everyone has trouble reading it. just turn it off for the greater good of everyone

 

so if i do can someone answer the question possibly?

have you check here?????

 

well this is what i did, i took part of the piping out and revved the motor and stuck my hand over the pipe. the motor died. then i stuck my hand over the fmic and it blew alot of air. i didnt detect any leaks, is there a better way to do this? and also, why is it my turbo doesnt spool unless it is under a load?

 

You wont find your answer disassembling your charge pipes and fmic, your engine wont be able to breathe. And turbos only boost when you are building exhaust gases, being in neutral and revving wont even boost 1psi

 

UPDATE....... i had a hole in one of my silicone connectors now it runs fine. Thanks for all your help!! By the way is there anyone out there that has a set of 450cc injectors from an eclipse or something i can use for my civic?

 

o_O how many lbs your boosting? With stock injectors? ( assuming its an h22 correct?) gOod luck and be safe. Dont hit a tree.

 

There's always dsm 450 injectors in the FI classifieds, check it out

 

7PSI, AND WHEN I REACH 5500 RPMS IT STARTS TO LEAN OUT ON MY GUAGE. THEY ARE OBD2 INJECTORS (280CC) WITHOUT THE INJECTOR RESISTOR BOX.

 

damnit the caps came back! STOP TYPING IN CAPS! BTW you need bigger injectors and a much bigger fuel pump (450s and a Walbro 255lph work fine)

 

i have a walbro 255 and yes i know i need injectors i just dont go over 6000 rpms cuz then it will run lean i pay close attention to my guage.

 

your wideband readout? or a narrowband A/F gauge? if it's the latter of the two, then it really doesn't mean jack crappitty. sounds like you need to get a decent fuel setup and tune the car well

 

indeed i do!!!!

 

So you have been running stock fuel system all this time??

 

no i have a fuel pressure regulator and the fuel pressure is at 70 psi and a walbro 255lph fuel pump, stock injectors
