Default What can be wrong?

My prelude was dyno with a P28, DC headers, Ram Intake, Exhaust, MSD, AFC at 225 hp, and 180 to the wheel but it does not feel like it is. A stock Non Vtec, single over head, CRX beat me on a race the car does not respond. What can be wrong. And it is not the driver.... i drove the CRX and my friend the Prelude and I beat him. help me out...

why do you have an AFC and a p28?

was the p28 tuned with crome? hondata?...etc

stock p28?

who did the tuning? do you have a dyno chart with a/f display?

dc header
afc

MSD what?
what exhaust?

providing valid information for users with half a brain would be a good start to figuring out your problem.

I agree with 98vtec, you need to provide more info and it doesn't sound like you have a clue what you're doing.

I think is a stock P28 i bought it like that and my friend told me to take it to this place called SpeedShop and they dyno it. I dont know exactly what they did but what they told me is that the car was doing 113 to the wheels and they got it to 180 to the wheels. I dont have the sheets that they gave me.

hahahahaah, get your flame suit on man lol.

jk

Knowledge is power man, other than you have no idea what your talking about, how does the car itself idle/run. Does it just feel sluggish though out all gears? Does you car give you any cel codes?

It must have been running like *** before hand.

Any other work done to the car? motor drops etc,
is the ignition timing good?

OH, and the most important thing. Research all those "mods" you have on your car. Figure out what they actually even do, and than ask who ever tunned your car all those other important questions, like "why it runs like *** now". He might know perhaps.

Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaat?????

First, you didn't even tell use what engine you have... Condition of the engine?
Second, 113whp to 180whp!?!!? To make that much WHP I'm guessing it has to be an H22, but making 113WHP before the so called "TUNE" is crazy...
Why don't you have the charts?
Why don't you have any idea what they did?

I just see a lot of wasted money spent without knowing what's going on..............

Dont hate me man... Thats what im here for to ask for assistance... the guy i bought it from told me that he never tuned the car when he changed the computer the car has a h22a with headers, intake, and exhaust just simple bolt on's. The car does not respond good it is sluggish i know its stupid for me not to know but the guy who did the dyno for me did it for free. I need assistance so when i go talk to the guy i know what to say or ask instead of him pulling my chain.

Ehh....I agree with billy, get the stock ecu back in there and see what happens.

Is the check engine light on by chance?

you are running an ecu suited for a SOHC 1.6L with 80whp. is the ecu even chipped with an h22 basemap?

i can believe the hp increase as they probably "added" a shitload of fuel.

take that ecu out and put the stock ecu in until you understand what you just did.
