Default Turbo prelude help?

ok, so this is my first turbo honda the things i have are:

T3-super60 turbo
turbonetic 35mm wastegate
greddy BOV
Grredy FMIC
MSD 6BTM
VAFCII
450cc inj.
AEM fuel rail
255LPH pump
MAP check valve

Now before the MAP check valve it would cut out at vtec, the boost would drop to from 6psi to nothing, haven't been on dyno since what else should i do? I have a set of skunk2 stage 1 cams and cam gears, should i even bother installing them since they are not turbo cams or will it still give me more power? any help is good help. thanks, Dave

What are you using for fuel management? If you have a check valve on there I assume that your not running a afc hack..

Im kinda biased against hondata so I wouldnt recommend that to anyone.. If you looking for something cheap and easy why not check out uberdata..

As for the vtec cutting off I have no idea there, I would say either your leaning out really badly there or something.. Try turning the vtec off on the vafc controller and see if it still does it.. Maybe you dont have something wired correctly with the vafc controller..

The vafc2 is wired right and its not the vtech that shuts off, its like the whole car shuts down power drops to nothing boost drop, plenty of fuel. whats the uberdata web site and what system would you recamend?

Well you would have to convert to obd1 and run an ecu that it supports.. Their site is uberdata.org..

My guess is you are not running the proper spark plugs along with the gap.

Try the ngk 3330's gapped to a .028

It's that or you have a vacuum leak somewhere. I'm not a fan of uberdata to be honest. To each his own. Either way you can sell your afc2 and btm and easily get the hondata for right around the price you sell them for.
