v-tec and turbo :O

price? messly $7k USD cheap considering a Vortech S/C goes for $5k AUD installed + tuned (i think)

Imagine revving that thing to limits like V-Tek should. Damn! It really is a damn shame Honda make a shiat load of FWD's.........Way to keep the yanks happy Honda!

i drove a honda prelude around at work today, i love how the 4WS works on those things!!!

thought id share my current problem with everyone, if you had any ideas to help me out would be appreciated. copy pasted below:

----

Well, I've had my car off the road for 2 weeks now, basically all of which have been spent at my tuner's shop. The problem:

Start her up and will immediatley run very rough, rpm jumping up and down, missing etc. Leave for about 5 minutes and it will idle smoothly instantaneously, or take for a drive and about 5-10 minutes of driving it will act more normal in terms of idle. BUT then it doesnt have any power under load. It becomes flat, you can hear the turbo spool and a rush of air, but goes no where.

What has been done:

He has replaced all engine sensors, AFM, CAS had it on the dyno. Fuel pump, lins, filter all checked as well and cleaned. It is running lean... very lean, so lean the engine doesnt have enough fuel to operate properly, this is occuring on all cylinders.

Higher temperatures seem to make it better, the longer you run the car for the better it gets, but never close to perfect. He had determind that the problem has to lie either with the ECU, or the wiring into it. He is supremely confident that an after market computer will fix this problem. I have access to R32 ECU and loom, and hence this should also fix the problem, once wired up correctly. I need second, third etc opinions though before i go ahead and spend money, hence this post.

I have just recently had the entire intake side off, inlet butterflies remove and sealed up good and propper. exhuast manifold has been ripped off, studs replaced and put back on with the addition of an r33 turbo. Amoutn other things and a full service. Was running fine until about 4-5 days after, then it got progressivly to ths state. It did this before i had this work done, but on a VERY small level, and 10 minutes of driving would see if going perfectly.

hey stevo! there are no boost leaks or anything?

your problem sounds very similar to one of the guys at work who has a VL turbo. had the exact same symptoms and all, weird idle & no power under boost, the boost guage read 9psi and absolutely no extra power, it was the same as driving an NA one.

It tuned out all of the injectors were blocked up with crap & one injector was faulty. injectors were cleaned out/replaced and it ran good again.

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
