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.

    • Haha no I'll do that one tomorrow. I've been ignoring it. It's the 5.0 one I'm taking about. (There is a little X to hide the 4.7 one if you want)
    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
