My car keeps holding in when it hits 5000rpm..... i boosted before but it worked fine...
now i purchased a skunk2 manifold and it has this problem... but maybe it can be something else..

Does anyone have any suggestions ?

 

what does it hold in? its poop?

 

keeps holding in? Not really sure what you mean by this.

 

its keeping in...... if it hits the 5000rpm... it doesnt give its full power.... i lowered the boost to 10psi... its boosting 10psi... but it feels like something is holding it back.. when it hits the 5000rpm mark

 

boost leak?, check all your vacc lines, and check for leaks, if it was working perfecr before the intake manifold, then something isnt tightend down right, check your couplers fromt he TB to piping, check all electrical plugs, made sure there not crossed up

 

U mean like it should be pulling harder but instead its pulling softer?

 

Boost more until it cant hold it in anymore.

 

I'm still blown away people post up problems and havent checked anything. Have you checked for boost leaks, have you checked for a vacuum leak, whats your boost gauge read at idle, whats your plugs look like, etc. At least post up a question and have some basic background info instead of just saying "holding in" after 5k which doesn't mean **** to anyone.

 

Have it retuned afterwards?

If you havent done that then that could be it. The skunk2 flows more air in higher Rpms. Maybe your leaning around that rpm range.

 

I checked for boost leaks.. there are none.... the air/fuel range is constant and stays between 11.8 - 12.0 ....

 

toss some Citrate of Magnesia at it, i bet it'll let it all loose then...

 

sounds like it doesnt want to go into vtec?

 

I have a VAFC... and it shows that the vtec does come on...

*clicks the X*

 

I have a VAFC... but its only for rpm etc etc... i dont use it for fuel management..

I used CRome to tune my car.

 

Did you try the Citrate of Magnesia?
