also, how much boost you runnin? 185whp is not bad, thats like 210-220 to the fly (your motor is about 120 to the fly). im gonna guess about 6psi?

do what he said, obd1, get uberdata, crank up the boost and enjoy

 

tuning. more boost.

 

horsepower isnt **** if you cant get traction - invest in tunning and tires !

 

he told me its at 8psi... i heard from everyone else that the civic should only go up to 9 poundand keep it low... more then that then it isnt good... and yea... about the OBD, the only thing is that in NC inspection must have OBD2 to pass... and im still thinking about swaping it.. how much more psi should i boost?

He has an EM1, so taking for granted that he has a B16A2 in there, he's making 160HP at the crank and about 140 down to the ground. He's putting 185 down to the ground at 8 psi, something's not right. Get that thing tuned right. PSI doesn't mean ****. Asking how many more psi you should run is stupid. You need to get that thing tuned properly.

 

You need some serious tuning. I'd be willing to bet I put down more than that at 8 lbs. I run E-Manage on an OBDII hatch with a D16Y7 in it and click high 13s at the track.

 

he tuned the car already... thats why im asking wats is there for me to do... wat can i do to make it fun more HP?

 

i mean.. wat can i do to gain more HP... maybe something is wrong? wat is it? thats the question... thanks guys

If the car is "tuned" and you're only making that much power.....shoot the tuner.

With a VAFC he didn't tune anything....

Are you SURE that is the problem? I have had a turboed OBD2 before and ran it both ways: oxygen sensor connected and installed, and the oxygen sensor not installed.....never noticed a difference in power. I thought the secondary oxygen sensor only monitored if your cat was working.......

 

ahhhhhhhhhhh.... man im hearing differece from everyone.... i think it got nothing to do with the o2 sensor now... i think its my obd2... i need to convert that to ob1 and maybe theres more of a chance for me to tune my car better and gain more whp... if you think thats gonna work.. let me kno guys... oh yea.. and toss that VAFC to some1 else...

 

bottem line, if your running obd2 in a obd1 shell, thats your problem right there, also make sure you got the right ecu, and definately make sure the o2 sensors operational, take care of all of those, and if you still have a problem, get back to us

From the little I know about boost, this will work.
