i have a jdm d15b with a t3/t4 turbo kit on 10psi tuned with chrome.

i have had the car tuned and running good for about a week or two now.
this past weekend i ran the car for the first time and put down what i was aiming for as a time.

today when i was driving it seems like the car has a loss in power.. it used to pull really really hard.. now it feels really smooth but not nearly as hard.

i have an a/f ratio, oil pressure, boost, and water temp gauge.

the gauges are all normal, i have done a compression test and still hold 220 across, and when it boosts it still holds 10 psi constantly..

cant figure out why it feels so weak now.. any suggestions??

 

anyone??

it probably feels that way because you are already used to the pull.
also remember the tempature outside also plays a factor, how is it out there in NC?

the weather has been AWESOME the past 2-3 days.. almost in the mid 70's...
i hope it is that i am just used to the pull, but even a friend that has been in the car a few times said it doesnt seem like it is pulling as hard..
maybe i put the thought in his head..

i hope the motor stays together :S doesnt even have 3k on it yet... hopefully its my imagination and its just that im used to it.

yeah, after doing my swap i thought my car pulled so hard and was fast as hell. but no i'm so used to it, it doesn't feel the same. though it does pull hard, i'm just used to it. so i guess it's time for boost! LOL!

boost&gt;na lol..

i just really really hope that me getting used to it is all it is.. i cant afford another motor right now

 

yeah, my car feels slower every single day, every time i drive it.

you just get used to it is all. especially if you checked and everything checks out good (which you did)

at least your "slow feel" is a hell of a lot faster than my "slow feel"
