When i was racing at the strip i was having problems past 5000rpms. It wasnt getting to 7500. the rpms would get slower and it took forever for it to reach 7500 rpms. its a d-series vtec turboed. would it be a timing issue?

 

Well, it sounds like your vtec is not engaging. My friend has a NA gsr and he had trouble once with his vtec not engaging. Once the revs got past around 5000 grand the power just felt like it died off.

 

after the races i had to get emissions so i had to take the turbo kit off and stuff and then i ripped into it being N/A and i could hear vtec, would that still mean anything?

 

Hmm....im not sure on this one than. What kind of turbo setup are you running?

 

garret t3, i am leaning out in #2 and #3 cylinders. i think my fmu is messed up, could that be it, or is timing messed up?

 

have you ever done some dyno runs?? did you car act up like this in the dyno?

 

it sounds like you need to get your car tuned correctly.

Lean condition + boost = melted pistons or cracked ringlands.

 

Sounds like your bogging at 5k and up. Are you doing the VAFC hack thats around the net, that tells you to lean everything out? Man i did that and it fucked up my car so bad. Get it properly tuned.

So true.

correct. You are having fuel issues. I would not have even ran the car with a fuel problem.

 

i dont have a vafc right now, im getting to put uberdata in my car, but for the time being im just wondering what the problem is for the future if it happens again, im pretty much trashing this motor after i get an ls. i just thought it was weird to see 2 and 3 leaned out so much. thanks for the help.
