so my car runs just fine untill 5400 rpm's (vtec) then it sputters and cuts in and out. on the dyno it was flawless and made 755@32 psi. it doesnt matter if im on it or slwoly rolling, but as soon as vtec hits it has issues.

what do you guys think solonoid<<<<<<spelling lol

 

if only WOT pulls were made then the rest of vtec might not be tuned properly

 

this is also an issue now at wot sorta

it ran extremely well yesterday at 12psi went 10.8

turned it up t0 26psi and not good at all, and then dropped it to 20psi and same thing

 

What ignition? What plugs? Sounds like spark blow out is a possibility

 

pro14 with cops ngk vpower 10's gapped at .18

 

of course i meant .018

 

What are they AF looking like at that boost level? Have you pulled the plugs and inspected them? Need to find out if it's detonation or blow out? What fuel are you running? Give a complete breakdown of the setup so others. An help better diagnose

 

e85 plugs look fantastic actually

15.66pdi shows 10.92afr21.87psi shows 11.32 afr

 

problem solved

 

Was it spark related? Or the tune?

 

vtec screen full of metal

i knew it wasnt the tune or spark it did this just cruising, and track.

pulled the solonoid off and was like dammm

 

<<<<<<<<<<<that idiot forgot to clean it out after i spun the bearings last time

 

 

Damn...if the problem crept up over time, how do you know this isn't new metal?

 

As Chris mentioned, that could be new...

I would pull the oil pan & oil pump apart etc...

 

yea, if the metal was there all along you would've had vtec issues from the start.

 

oil pan was off yesterday no issues.

it is metal as well, but from when i spun a bearing a few months ago i didnt have the head flushed out

my tuner said it is the metal that was left in the head from not being flushed.

at WOT it isnt as prominant as it is at lower rpms

i do enjoy the feedback though
