rl Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 I cant figure this out...a turbo civic i built (stock SOHC vtec 1.6 with a turbo and intercooler @6psi) has picked up a hesiotation, below 3k if you go to WOT it doesnt move, it like jerks a little, then slowlyaccelerates, as soon as it hits like 3k-3500 it takes off like normal... I was thinking normal tune up stuff? maybe the Vtec solenoid is sticking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renner Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 I'm thinking test the throttle position sensor first. Do you have any sort of air/fuel gauge on the car? What does it do when you try and accelerate, go too rich or too lean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 I've heard of the problem on SCs under boost, does it do it when you rev it in N, or just in gear? Common solutions seem to be changing: plugs injectors blower (if you're unlucky), snout(if you's lucky) Come drive Jesses XR7, see if its the same behavior. Whaere did you get the turbo, have anyone check it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest extheflow Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 TPS seonsor is kinda crushed (the connector) uhh... this is probably a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1bad66duece Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 does your exhaust manifold have any leaks,major cause for turbo lag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integranator Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Hey rl, a buddy of mine actually just got the greddy kid on his civic, how hard was it to install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Ben Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 My friend has that a problem like that when he punches it, but his is clutch slip. You might have the same problem, he's only had it in about a week and the power he's making is killing his stock clutch, that's just something you might want to look at.
