Default Need Help Fast for Daily Driver

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzCdYewjJhA

THE CAR:
95 civic with a d15b7, 16x,xxxkm. The car has a bad IAC and the O2 isn't connected because I haven't extended.

THE SETUP:
HMT setup like many of those in the Turbo Projects section. STD Manifold with T3 adaptor to fit 14b turbo. 2.25" DP and Catback. Intercooled and 1g BOV. My BOV is T'd of brake booster, Boost guage of FPR and Wastegate of nipple by turbo. I have a tuned chipped from a friend who previously dyno tuned a civic with the same setup.

WHAT'S HAPPENING:
It has less power than a Geo Metro. I don't get positive boost psi. I don't have a leak in the charge piping, I tested. The wastegate seams fine because I tested it for vacuum and psi. I am stumped. The guy who I'm asking is stumped.

well for starters conect your boost gauge to a vacume source off the manifold. That way if its a vac guage you can read that as well...

Secound is this your first time trying to dirve the car boosted?

You need to remember each car is difrent, and just because its the same setup it dosnt meen it will respond the same. Each motor ages diffrently and has diffrent compression. You need to get that bitch tuned..

I would try geting a new base map off xenocrons site, and see if it runs better.

I watched you vid, and it looks like your tune has the 2step engauged. That would be why the engine isnt reving up.
And secound the car shouldnt make much boost if any while in neural.


And to all you reading... watch the vid at the 1 min mark..... "Its spooling or something, I dont know " LMAO want some wine with you cheesy vagina

The car might have 2 step but it won't rev higher than 4000 even in gear. I drove her today and gave her WOT. It pulled decently until 3000 and it felt like a it hit the wall. From 3000 it slowly pulled to 4000 and stoped climbing and the gauge read 30 vacuum. The FPR has a vacuum source of the IM and that's where I T'ed off of. I know that gauges are hooked up right because I connected them 2 weeks before I put the turbo on.

Sry i read that you had "the boost, fpr and wastegate" all off the nipple on the turbo..

Like i said, mostlikely the tune isnt going to work on your car.. Try a base map and see if it helps, could also be inpart becasue your o2 sensor istn hooked up... If the tuner tuned your budys car with the o2 sensor enabled, then your o2 needs to be hooked up...

The gauge should still read boost and not slowly go vacuum even though the throttle position didn't should right? I heard of boost creep but this is reverse boost creep that I have. I can understand the car running like ---- because of the O2 but I don't see how that would cause no boost.

Check engine light is on, so clear codes first

If you're at WOT then you shouldn't be reading any vacuum on the gauge. It should be at 0 homey. Or at least showing boost. Sounds like you need to clear the CEL's first then go from there.
