Alright ive got this weird problem. I have a turbo integra ls, stock clutch (only been turbo for a couple weeks). Today it was driving and everythin was fine and dandy. i did drive around a lot though. Then later on, everytime i got over like 5500 in boost it would stutter a little and then rev up real fast while i was still in gear, is this the clutch dying out on me or some other problem?? I was thinking it may be the clutch because i have heard that a warm clutch is more prone to slipping. any opinions?

 

could it be an injector leak also?

 

how about a fuel pump?

Sounds like you making to much power. Time to upgrade the clutch.

 

so that stuttering im talkin about while in gear (didnt touch pedal) is still the clutch slipping???

Could be the clutch trying to hold it together and not having any luck (a little chatter maybe) so it just lets loose. Your going to have to determine that for sure though, my crystal ball is out for repair.

 

the clutch is the weak point between the engine and tranny. It's supposed to give out hopefully b4 any damage to tranny and motor. But you are no longer stock, you need to upgrade the clutch whether or not that is the problem. Though I believe that it is the problem.

 

Did it feel like the power dropped when it revved quickly, or did it still accelerate after the studdering? If it felt like your acceleration dropped off while the engine was continuing to rev then your clutch is probably slipping, and it is more likely to happen when it is hot, and especially on the stock clutch on the amount of power you're making. Stock clutch won't last long at 10lbs of boost especially with your 110,000 miles already on it . If your car continued to accelerate just as strong after the studder then the problem is probably with the fuel management.

 

it feels kinda like a misfire, and then my clutch slips too if that makes any sense. hah, well we will see how long your 174,000 mile clutch lasts then.

 

Mine was changed at 150,000 ... and the car now has 182,000 just to update you

 

im pretty certain it may be leaking injectors. i reused the old seals and may have overbored one or two, and it seems like they are making a little stain on the im. Ahh now ive gotta replace them and i think im gonna gap my plugs to .030". will update after both have been done.

 

just checked and yup. theres a stain underneath one of the injectors. I thought i could get away w/o an o-ring that i broke, ooops!!! Anyone know if you can just buy the o-ring from napa or somewhere, im a cheap bastard?
