I'm not getting any boost (pic's)
 

Hi just finished my turbo setup with ssautoshit, but im not getting any boost. this is my first attempt at boosting a car so take it easy on me ::) the turbo is working perfect so is it because my engine isn't getting enough fuel into it?

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

Check for leaks at the turbo/manifold connection, wastegate connection, and charge pipes.

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

What are you running for management?

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

dear god......

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

NOTHING

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

thats not your problem. either ur wg is not all the way closed or ur pipe is leaking by the turbo or throttle body or ur bov is open? i wouldn't recommend boosting with NOTHING as management. ur motor wont last very long...

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

gangster. whats the exaust situation? did you hook all that ---- up throught he normal cat and eberything? if so its probably to restricted to let the turbo spool.

From the looks of that picture you have an adjustable wastegate and it looks like it vibrated loose. Tighten it up so you can gernade that motor becuase thats what will happen with no management

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

congratulations on owning a RHD civic :6

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

oh ---- son, good eye

yeah, check that wastegate, and for god's sake at least get a FMU off someone

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

I'm pretty sure that there's no leaks so it must be that there is to much air going in and not enough fuel could that be it? :S

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

your a ------- tard. learn somethin about how the ---- works before......aw ---- it, just blow it up an do everyone a favor :y

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

the guy at my local car shop who made up the charge pipe for me said that you can't put a fmu on a dpfi car is this correct?

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

::::as stated above:::: :1

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

This thread is AWESOME!

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

i took the cat out completely but it still didnt make any difference. i can hear the bov open so this must mean that im getting boost

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

Oh... My... God...

I can't even respond

You are a moron. Say goodbye to your precious b2

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

Get a FMU immediately.---- what buddy said. :S

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

i get the bit about ------- up my engine without the right fuel, but why am i not feeling any boost now :-[?

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

Check your boost gauge line for kinks, that happened to me. If your not reading any boost on the gauge and everything seems to be running right, except for engine management, then it could be a kink.


Nevermind, if you dont feel the boost then im not sure. You might have a leak somewhere in your charge piping

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

kkkkkaaaaaaabbbbboooooommmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

do you even have a ------ boost gauge? you said "why can't i feel boost but its blowing off"... maybe u are boosting but a dpfi single cam wont feel like much. maybe ur mani is cracked already lol

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

dood, check your messages man.

ive got some basic management gear that will help that thing out before it blows up.

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

hey that looks a lot like my kit, isnt that a t25?? how come you just dont chip your ecu with a basemap like i did :1 it's only 75 bx

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

Take off your exhaust flange and check to see that your wastegate flapper is taught (shut) around the wastegate hole. You shouldn't be able to easily move it by hand, and if it is functioing correctly, you'll be able to tell by taking off the vacuum line, pulling the arm and holding a finger over the nipple to see if it retains pressure. When you take your finger off, it should snap shut.

If the armature isn't adjusted correctly then it will open at any hint of positive boost pressure, and you won't get any more as your exhaust will be allowed to bypass the turbine effecting your spool. Other than that, the obvious question to ask would be- what turbo did you buy? What A/R is the exhaust housing, what size trim is the turbine, what size A/R is the compressor housing, what size trim is the compressor wheel. Not that the compressor wheel matters all that much as it is the lightest part of the assembly, but you could have easily bought too much turbo for your engine at this point.

Nothing says lack of spool like a "Stage 3" turbine with a TO4E 60 trim on a SOHC 1.6 engine of any sort.

For the rest of you who flamed, I bet half if not 3/4 would be just as lost with your own car had this happened to you.

HMT has a bunch of fucktards who don't know ----. A majority do, but alot don't. But it's so much easier to just flame when you have nothing to add, isn't it?

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

:l :X :3

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

best thread ever!

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

its probably the flapper flapping like some of you guys are saying. Oddly enough it was suggested for him to look at that but he never did.

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

you mights as well pull the motor now.. O0

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

gangsta...no intercooler :o

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

Thanks to all you guys for the helpful info, it is my own fault for not knowing enough about this ----.

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

at least change intake manifold, car to multi-point fuel injection, and run some fuel management.

not being a jerk, but you should research stuff before you slap it on your car. :1

im surprised that toilet bowl Throttlebody/air box can even handle any boost.

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

you guys act like this is some expensive desireable motor hes blowing up. its a d15b2... incase you all forgot jeff pwned a zc the same way.

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

it might not be desireable, but its still a motor. it costs money if you blow one up to buy a new one. plus, some people don't have the tools, room, etc to put a new one in...

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

Yes, it is.

I'm of the opinion that you either have the wastegate problem Whitey pointed out, or that substandard shitbox DPI "carb hat" is a big fat ------- leak.

Before you bother fixing it, spend a couple hours reading stickied threads in the Engine Management forum, and sifting through for items pertaining to your setup. Half of what you need to know is there.

Then, when you have a general idea, you can post up specific questions. Nobody minds tossing you a bone, but when it's like tossing a bone into the Grand Canyon, we waste our time and you still don't get what you need. When you post up another thread with your specific Q's... make sure you actually tell us details about your car. A couple lousy pictures with no technical meat = instant bad (or wrong or inability to give any) advice.

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic's)
 

does this car have an automatic tranny ? plz say no

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic's)
 

i see no master cylinder or cable so i'm going to say yes...

lol there are so many things wrong with this guys setup its not even funny

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic)
 

someone has had their period lately.

you should have suggested a rope.

Re: I'm not getting any boost (pic's)
 

Its clearly a manual by seeing the clutch slave resivor, keep in mind this is a 92+ civic so your not going to see a clutch cable. Very interesting setup, dpfi is odd in this chassis curious on what ecu is even driving that slut? Your really going to need some type of fuel management if you want it to even work correctly. The DPFI airbox is not exactly the greatest sealed unit, so besure to check there, check your wastegate actuator arm.

Your best bet would bet getting a D16z6 intake manifold, injectors, distributor, and I'd assume ECU as well? Your not going to see to many write ups for DPFI-MPFI on your car, but the 88-91 wiring should be very similar.

Oh, and I'm also looking at your breather hose, please tell me its not plumbed into the charge pipe or any vac right? I hope its just venting to atmopshere...

BTw, that oil return is way hot ;)
