This all started when I went to Canadian Tire and I randomly bought some lucas octane boost (like this one http://www.amazon.com/Lucas-Oil-1002...9855834&sr=8-1).
I filled up my tank with premium and put the booster in. As soon as I started the car and drove I felt like I was getting a lot more power, but it was raining all day so I didn't giver. Then the next day I'm going to work and the car felt totally different than what I was used to. I would have to barely use the gas pedal or else the revs would shoot up really fast (as fast as it would if I had the clutch in and hit the pedal). For a while it was kind of fun but through out the day I got less and less power from the revs until I finished work and was headed home on the high way. I noticed I had a hard time making my way up to 100 so I drove for a bit and I thought I should hammer'er to see if I would get and extra speed. The RPMs shot up really high but my speed hardly increased at all, then I drove for a few minutes (smelling burning clutch at this point) and realized I had to head back to the body shop that I had just come from to drop off the car. Over the coarse of the trip back I got less and less power, until I couldn't go over 20 mph and after a while I wasn't able to get it moving at all once it came to a complete stop. I was close to the shop so I pushed it the rest of the way with the help of 3 different people.

My car's a 2003 Civic Si with and RSX-S engine swap and the swap was done 6 months ago.
Please if anyone has any information on what my problem is and how I can solve it, please please please let me know. It would mean the world to me, I don't have money right now for a mechanic but I need my car to make money so I don't know what I'm going to do.

Thank you for your time!

 

Did you hear any noises? No CELs?

Pull your plugs and see what they look like. Those boosters tend to turn plugs red.

 

No I don't think I heard any weird noises, what are CELs and do you think if my spark plugs are red should I just get all new ones and problem solved?
Thanks for your response.

 

CEL - Check Engine Lights

Fuel additives have been known to gunk up injectors and foul out plugs. I myself tried some on an old vehicle and it got worse before better.

But you also said it was raining, so I was curious as to hydrolocking. Raining a lot? A little? Do you have a cold air intake? Any valve ticketing sounds? etc

 

Sounds like your clutch is toast. And unless you have tools and know how to do it yourself, it's going to cost ya.

 

That would be your clutch slipping. Soon you will not even be able to put it in gear. Soo are you saying you did a swap without replacing the clutch -_-

 

dont use Fuel additives

 

sounds like co-incidence. you need a clutch sir. if you're in the ottawa area i do them for less than a typical shop, and can get you a good deal on a new clutch or having yours rebuilt by ottawa clutches. let me know. (they can rebuild it staged also, fyi)

 

It is amazing how when you do one thing and another thing happens thinking it was first thing. I was working on my passenger door, fixing a weather stripping had it apart, touched no connectors etc. Put it all back together and all my locks went out. I was thinking I did something to knock out the locks, as it turned out nothing to do with that door or what I did.
