i cant boost!!HELP
 

my car wont let me boost..when every it starts to boost the motor starts to sputter..i have a crxls with SMC and dsm 450cc..how do i fix this

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

Whats an smc? Is it like some kind of management if it is its probably a piggytype system like the hack but in this case its allowing the ecu to see boost and starts to freak out.

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

sould like to much fuel or plugs

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

could it be to much fuel..i just put in ngk 2step colder plugs..

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

too much fuel, if the ecu was seeing boost you would have a cel

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

i dont think its to much fuel cause it wont even let me boost 1psi.kinda feels like the ecu puts me on safe mode :-\and wont let me rev

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

thats exactly what is happening... you don't get a cell everytime you go over 1 lb. sometimes it will go into limpmode without a cell. go buy some check valves to go with your smc

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

i thought you were not suppose to use check valve with the SMC??

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

I went into limpmode once, but Iput in a checkvalve and then it was as stiff as a rock! j/k

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

haha yeah me too. Just make sure to use lots of lube!!

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

dont use checkvalves...what are your smc settings

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

The timing is the problem more than likely, I had the same problem with my setup and whent through everythng possible, its the timing, do as much fine tuning on the cam gear, that was my problem, I know it doesnt seem like it would be it but it was for me, good luck. -Ben

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

i have stock cam gears so it can adjust them??should i retard my timing more?

what sould my setting for my smc be at for 6psi?

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

what are your settings now?...i would say they should all be in the high 30's

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

what wiring do i tap into for the MAP?? should it be a white w/ yellow dots coming off the ecu??

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

cant remember...but you arent tapping it, youre cutting the map wire

Re:i cant boost!!HELP
 

yea i gut the map wire and hooked it up on the smc in/out...

i think i hooked up the smc wrong?which wire off the ecu is for the MAP??
