Please DO NOT Post In The General Section

From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.


The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

    need some input on new engine prob PLEASE HELP

    hey guys, as some of u know i just dropped a new turbocharged engine into my 91 accord coupe, and it has been running good. I got the charge piping in yesterday, and made the dp, and today i replaced the feul pump and started tuning it in my garage. So i take it up to about 3500 rpm and she is running mint and sounding great, but when i hit about 3800-4k it starts studdering a lot, and gets really really rich. This makes me think that a spark plug isnt firing because the a/f ratio up to then was at a constant level, studdering starts, and it richens and feels like i am hitting a rev limiter....and doesnt wanna go any higher. Now my computer is also spitting a 'coolant temp sensor' code, and this is tied into the ignition i believe...i just replaced my wires tonight, and they are fine and not grounding out or anything.....anyone have any kinda ideas about what is going on here to help me out?

    My'n did something similar, when your driving the car does it feel fine and than all of a sudden it feels like you hit a wall? How much boost are you running? you may have a bad map or maybe your overloading it, the stock mapsensor can only take 10psi. Also the first thing I would do is diconect your battery for a while and reload uberdata, my'n was doing a similar thing and I disconnected the battery and it worked fine, plus after reloading uberdata it worked even better, good luck.
