Not Boosting... ????

[Alex EX]

no adam re routed my vacuum line from the bov

[90boostdaccord]

i would just retorque it myself. i thought we put all the head studs back in? if not, then that explains the high rpm boost. are you sure that the hole in the stock downpipe isn't shooting the black "shit" onto the block?

[Alex EX]

i told them to plug up that hole at the exhaust shop, they also put in a O2 sensor for me

[90boostdaccord]

cool cool. i feel bad that it is not boosting now. it was soo late that i didn't even look at the head studs after we got the manifold on

like i said, i had to retorque mine a few times. they just come loose. just tighten them down good it will pull the manifold back to the block. my manifold did the same thing

AH! i just figured out a great way to get around the a/c line easier without hacking up the mani as much. Not sure why it JUST came to me but whatever. The flange on the o2 housing that mates to the turbo...remember how thick it was? Even tho its cast iron it can still be shaved down to half its width. Shaving it down won't make it weak unless you shave it down to about 25% of the original width. That would make for almost 5-7mm of difference which would be more than enough to get the 02 past the a/c line!!! Discuss..

should kill u...

yeah, wish I read that earlier today before I ditched my a/c lines. lol. oh well, I never use a/c.

thanks for the save MRX...hows the boost ALEX???

[Alex EX]

The boost was crazy stuff at like 6k rpm, pulled ALOT. On the highway I took it 70 to 120 in 4th gear, didn't take long at all for it to get there haha... I love it, but I need to fix it now! =)

[MRX]

He's lying its slow And hey its not my fault i just came up with the shave of the flange...i'd never seen the setup in person on an accord b4 lol. I can come up with some great ideas if given the time to think of them

[Alex EX]

yeah its slow to you, mr 260 whp... haha

[MRX]

did ur check engine light go off yet?

[WiKKeDV16]

yeah this was antoine's comment

mrx: is it boosting??
me: yeah man.. wastegates being funny.. (5psi at 3k and 8psi at 5k)
mrx: oh... ok... im used to (pushes self back into seat... comes up.. pushes self back into seat)
me:..... no shit sherlock...

[Alex EX]

boost stopped working again today =( it goes to 1 psi and then makes like a whoooshhh sound, all hoses look fine...?

[MRX]

did ur check engine light go off yet?

[Alex EX]

no it didnt... i think its because you set the ECU not to read the O2 sensor but now it has one on there so it may be confused... i dont know
