Default wtf is up with my car??????????????

i have a 95 gsr in my 92 hatch cx w/ skunk2 intake manifold,str 68mm throttle body,aem cold air, dc 4-2-1 headers, full cat-ack exhaust and 95 fat fives w/azenis drag radials. i took it out to the track last night and i could only pull 15.1 @92mph . now this aint right. the motor runs smooth as hell,no knocks or pings. it seems like its loosing power from 30mph to 60mph .my previous hatch that i owned had a 96 gsr with basic mods but had the 4-1 headers instead of the crappy 4-2-1 i have now and i was running 14.2@102 mph . im thinking it might be the fuel pump and injectors. the fuel pump is still the stock cx FP and i think im not getting enough fuel to make up for the bigger int manifold and tb. if u have any ideas on what the problem might be please please fill me in. thnx

Hate to say it, but it could just be your driving. I was pulling 14.2's consistently with my old 95 dx with skunk2 im, JDM DC 4-1 header, and exhaust on some crappy tires.

I think you might have answered your own question.

I was going to say it might be your clutch, but that would be more than just 30-60. I would upgrade the fuel ish to be adequate for the bigger motor/injectors you're running, and if that doesn't fix it... Hmm, I duno.

You use a p28 and that will get rid of your knock sensor, also a FPR and gauge so you can up your fuel since a stock p28 wont do it, or you could go on Homemadeturbo forums and find someone who could socket you a P28 and make a chip for all your mods(that's what I did for 120), and then the obvious is just get a knock sensor.

Your stock fuel pump will easily Handel all the mod's you have just need a way to control it. Also a Skunk2 IM has a 64mm bore so your 4mm too big

well i bought the car from my brother with the motor in it just bone stock and i just found out that he did not wire up the knock sensor to the ecu. do u guys think that with out the knock sensor being hooked up that it would ause my motor to run shity like it is???? and the skunk2 manifold was bored out to fit the 68 mm tb.

Yeah is would run shitty, when I didn't have mine on vtec would get all screwy and run like I had it flooded. It will be noticeably better with it.
