i just got done with my 96 civic hatch with 97 ls motor with .002 overbore in it and i hooked all the turbo parts on but not the b.o.v piping and raced my bubies nx2000,b16 civic and an 91 sertra ser to see what my motor would do but i lost to all three of them it feels so weak. then i decide to hook on the b.o.v pipe and i'm not getting no boost. i checked all the clamps but it all good took it around again and still no boost. any ideas

waste gate stuck open?? maybe?

Do you have a boost gauge? What type of kit? Vaccum leak? Hear your turbo spool? etc.

Dude you left out enough info to fill a library.

i'm using an internal waste gate,t3 turbo,custom pipings,and when i step on it i don't hear the turbo spool but when i cover the air inlet it sucks realy hard when i rev it, and i step on it i don't hear the b.o.v

Most likely a wastegate problem, did you try working the lever manually, vacuum line is attched correctly

on the internal wastegate i was messing around with the lever
and is an ls in a 96 civic hatchback that slow?? i thought i would do better or beat an stock 91 sentra ser??

Did you hit the on switch =D

Check to make sure all your pipping is connected. I just finished working on a car and his problem was that one of his couplings were not on on the way. Check that then check for boost leaks on your "custom" intercooler pipping.

*sigh* Please check all your piping, couplings, and lines. There is definetly a leak somewhere

ya i check all the clamp again but it's all tight i'm think it maybe a lever to the internal waste gate

could not having an o2 sensor and crank sensor make the car slow??

sounds like a boost leak but you may wanna try the forced induction forum
