You are supposed to have a pipe/tube going for the turbo to throttle body.

you have got to be kidding me right? https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmileo.gif before you mess something up take it to someone who knows what they are doing........... http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif...................... you need alot of things like a downpipe, charge pipes, intercooler, BOV, boost gauge, tunning,

you said it's EXACTLY..other than the wastegate?

well...you're missing a few things..

oil lines
water lines
downpipe
need to tighten up the manifold and turbo
and you need chargepiping
and an intercooler
and a bov


pretty much...the only thing in the pic is the turbo and manifold....FAR from a complete setup

Re: Why isnt my car boosting? (icucnme)
 

the turbo SUPPLIES the air...that's how you get boost. as it is right now...you're just spinning the turbo...but how's that doing ANYTHING for you....?

the pipe that's on the side of the turbo, lets air into it. the exhaust spins the wheels that compresses that air...and then shoots it through the intercooler/chargepipe..into the throttle body...thus giving you boost

do you have any vacuum lines run to the wastegate either? you have to have that as well

Re: Why isnt my car boosting? (icucnme)
 

you sir have a long way to go before that thing is ready for boost.

Re: (abmerop18)
 

i was hoping this was a joke earlier wanted to wait and see if he said anything else....

The reason why ur not boosting is because ur vtec fell off. Its a hard one to catch sometimes, and takes a pro to spot it.

watever it is it's pretty damn funny. I remember a time putting a nitrous injector in the egr port and no it didn't work.

I remember a post where someone install a nitrous fogger in a s200 tapped into the valve cover.

I am a strong believer in doing it yourself, shit sometimes I even tackle jobs that I had no idea where to start. but obviously this case its all common sense, how are you gonna get the boost without connecting anything to the turbo?
