460 turbo truck

my 89 turbo stang does the same thing, well, used to, if i still had a MAF ...that's what i found to be the issue, but then again ...i know dittly squat about hondas,

you don't have an A/F gauge ?

do these things even have an air flow meter ?

No A/F gauge nor boost gauge which is already on it's way, it was parted out before I showed interest in the car. I'm going to do what I can to tie up these loose ends that we have discussed once the sun comes up, we'll see how it goes.

Damn rain will do it tommorow. Previous owner sent me a message saying Chromopro has a setting that disables the need for a VSS signal to engage vtec, didn't say whether thats in effect or not though.

hf crx's of that year 85 to 87 have vss built into the cluster.

you need to swap out the speedo on the cluster to an hf, and then splice the wires into the ecu.
87 si's didn't come with vss

i just put the whole hf cluster into our 87 inorder to run obd0 for turbo edit.

Well he's the one who installed and bought everything for the turbo setup so he has to know his ----, though if he REALLY
knew I guess he'd stil own the car. I've been contemplating bringing it back to N/A to simplify things, besides it ran a 14.3 on azenis N/A, good starting point. As soon as the rain passes I'm attacking it, wish me luck

lol that is the gayest thing i have ever read ... your lack of knowledge has nothing to do with your turbo kit .. u just dont know what your doing

Sureshot

No what I was implying is that he did his homework and probably knows his ---- because he chose each individual item in the turbo setup, installed them and got succesful results. It wasn't a kit from a company or a suggestions from someone else, also keep in mind that before the overboost it worked perfectly I've seen video.

Now, today I fixed the vss code by cleaning the VSS connectors and securing the unit better, I also recalibrated the TPS and nothing has changed.

Sureshot

Stumped? :P

Did you replace the resistor box and injectors? Stick a voltmeter on the injectors and make sure they are all getting power. If that is the case then replace the injectors.

We have progress! Although I found the timing belt had a little play the last owner said he checked the timing so I could cross that off the list.........well I checked it myself this morning and guess what? Yep was off about 3-4 teeth, must have happened when the overboost occured, which he though was VERY unlikely. So now it sounds like a real car and goes to 9000rpm, except for one thing........it never puts you back in your seat It sounds really ------- mean but just doesn't get out of it's own way, any ideas? I'm thinking its a mix of 3 things, turbo isn't right for the application, needs it's own tune on a dyno by like Jeff Evans, Vtec possibly not engaging still. Thanks for all the help I'm halfway there now, TT
