What The F*** Is Wrong With This Car?

[sandspeed]

no emanage YET!

i'm boosting 8 psi...FMIC too

well your still running afr's off the stock ecu. Once you install and tune the emanage you should notice a difference even at 8psi.

hows the forging going sandspeed, looks like I unfortunately have to start on mine prematurely.

 

[Rio Racer]

I've beaten N/A 240 sx when my tiburon was just I/H/E your car got problems my friend.

 

[Blake]

check compression?

 

[03.5MSP]

Thats kinda weird. With all of your mods you should be around 180-190whp, and thats more than that 240 had. It sucks.

 

[djarkitek]

something is def wrong with your car. first off your turbo..and you are losing to n/a civics and 240s. unless it's a k swap civic, which you still should be bale to keep up if not beat, i dont see how you cant even keep up...hell I am N/A and i can beat them, so i figure a turbo could beat one. like i seriously just beat a 240 just like the one you described as an N/A a while back and n/a civics i eat up besides k and some of the b series ones...

 

[Alejo_NIN]

prolly it was a civic swapped

i need to go to the dyno..this is getting ridiculous

 

[BOOSTR]

Forget about it. You never know what someone has done to their car. Just cause it looks like s*** to you, doesn't mean it hasn't been set up to run like a scalded dog. There is always someone faster, it happens.

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Alejo, I think you have a boost leak...

 

[jmv]

can i join your 'wtf, why is my car slow' club??

 

[Omar MSP]

Alejo, I think you have a boost leak...

damn, beat me to it.

i really think you have a leak. i would change all of my vacuum hoses. get new hose clamps aswell. the small clamps.

 

[jimmybrite]

What's the best place, I need a new vacuum from cold air to head, because I got an uber cheap one that changes shape and I gots no clamps :S

 

[BlueBeast22]

Maybe both of those cars are a good N/A build with nitrous? And maybe they used a 100 shot of nitrous or something along those lines and spanked you... I could def see that as being a possibility. If they didnt have any spray then you should have no problems beating those cars IMO.

 

[69RMSP]

you should get a dyno... With your listed mods you should be at 170-185 wheel horse.

 

[jimmybrite]

Napa has good vaccums?

To my Boy Alejo_NIN

Hey Buddie... Dont ******* worry about it, probably that 240SX was on Juice and you didnt notice, who gives a **** if you loose or not ? after all that guy drives a wack ass 240sx and you drive a little Jewerly Called: Mazdaspeed Protege Limited Production Edition. Enjoy your ride, its nice, its Yours and is parked in your driveway. no matter how fast and furious you are, theres always someone, faster and probably with an ugly ass car faster than you, but what really counts buddie its at the end, they drive a fast peace of s*** car, but you own one of a kind Ride ! ! ! ! hit me up with a PM when ever you need anything, you know ill be there for you.. !!! take care Alejo and enjoy your s*** ! ! ! ! ! ! !

 

[jdm4lyf9]

He probably had an SR20 in it. And the civic may have had a K20 or a B18C or maybe even a poor mans type-R

 

[jimmybrite]

It's the most popular mod, Sr20 and they can pull hard, but like the Fs-de they have a threshold, once u go over 400 hp it goes KABOOM (Forged)

 

[Doodsmack]

i am gonna go with boost leak. i have had this problem as well, where sometimes my car pulls hard and sometimes it seems like its NA. i have in the past been dead even with a stock civic, and another time dead even with a mustang GT. can't explain it.

 

[Alejo_NIN]

i'm leaning towards the boost leak
i have to blame my HOME MADE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET
is prolly leaking after i tried to remove it and decided not too and retightened the screws...

**** it...i'm replacing the maf this weekend...
gonna try the 626, see if it works if not..then replace with a stock mazdaspeed one with butterflies...i miss my low end torque so bad!
