car sputters and bogs after turbo
Have a h22 in EK civic and it ran great all motor. Had CEL 10 & 14 but the car still idled fine and drove great all motor. So I decided to boost it. So I added all the necessary parts including a walbro 255 fuel pump. That was the only thing I added besides the turbo stuff, and injectors. I got a chip just so I could drive it to the tuner.
Now to the problem....
The car runs like dog turds. I can't give it more than a TINY bit of throttle. Not even enough to get the car up to speed fast enough to feel safe driving it on the main road. If I give it more than that it breaks up and won't go above about 4k rpm. It idles good enough and doesn't die or anything. I pulled the plugs and they were white as hell. So it's running lean right? So I put some bigger injectors in and now it's running pig rich but still doing the same exact sputtering/bog as with the smaller injectors.
I have ZERO vacuum leaks. And like I said above I have the 10 & 14 CEL. Had them when it was all-motor and it ran perfect.
I know getting it tuned will probably fix it but just wondering if it could be something else. I'm on a tight budget and was not wanting to spend money to tow it 2hrs to the tuner. I had no plans of hitting boost until after a tune, just wanted to be able to drive it there.
Any and all help is appreciated!!
