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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
