I just finished installing my turbo setup on my 96 accord. The car runs perfect, everything spools good and there are no leaks. But for some reason when im boosting, the car still doesnt go anywhere. It also takes a really long time for the car to get into the high rpms, and then wont go past 5000 rpms for what ever reason. What would cause my car not to be boosting properly?

 

What engine management?

 

need more information.

what fuel management are you using? tuning?

 

probably needs tuned. And your long gearing isnt going to help much either.

gearing has nothing to do with a car hitting a brick wall at 5k or not going anywhere in boost. I am pretty sure even stock powered they do go someplace and rev more than 5k... with the same gearing.

I would think most likely a lack of tune is correct though and not helping the situation, IF he even has some kind of management at all. the going no where is probably a stock clutch slipping.

my first impression if we are just going to be posting random thoughts. still need more information though.

 

Well i no my clutch is good, but i really have no engine management right now. all i have is the safc. im waiting on my greddy emange untimate. My car doesnt hit a brick wall persay, it just really really lags. so i guess that problem could be that i have no real engine management, but i would have guessed that i would still be able to feel the boost uilding up ?
