I still haven't figured out this problem yet, ever since i installed my edelbrock kit i've always had this problem, whenever i reach wot, the car stumps and isnt making power, so i cant reach peak boost, so i'm always stuck tryin to keep the throttle at 75% which wont take me more than 6 psi, i know it could be many things.

I'm just tryin to run a steady 8-9 psi, fuel pump should be good till 200hp, Anyways, you guys tell me

What could be the main causes of this, i hope I can get this figured out like that i could get it off my mind, thanks !

 

What engine management? Sounds to me like you are leaning out..

 

sorry i forgot to mention, i'm running the edelbrock turbo kit on my d16y8, it uses it's own fuel managment called the link, it's tuned till 10-11 psi, and the tuning is done pretty well said by some tuners, so i wouldnt think that it's leaning out, it happens as soon as i step on it, maybe like a fuel pump or electronics issue

anyways, you guys let me know

 

Either way, I think you should ditch it and run crome/uberdata. That kind of stuff is known to cause problems.. especially and obviously (if it isn't hooked up right).

I had problems with a turbonetics kit and there engine management.

But I do think I know what system you are talking about.. but it still needs to be tuned. It has a little handheld screen with up and down arrows?

 

even though it might have to be tuned for 8 psi+, that still isnt the problem because even without a boost controller, running stock settings at 5 psi, the same would still happen at wot so, so guarantee the issue is elsewhere, can anyone point out what you think might be wrong ?

 

Are you using a wideband 02 kit???

 

nah i'm not using using a wideband, but anyways, the problem is that the link system is just a basemap, and it just isnt tuned properly for my set-up, although some people are lucky and it works pretty good with their setup, so i will be getting new managment during the wither, maybe hondata or something

 

could be your ecu running into limp mode. it happened to my friend, missing link fixed it for him, map sensor was throwing a code.
