You aren't revving the car in neutral trying to build boost are you?

:lol:

No, i drove the car.
The engine just bogs down instead of boosting.
No bov sound no nothing.
I was going to bring it down to the local speedshop,
but some guy told me i would fry my piston rings with it running this rich?
is that true?
its like a half a mile away.

 

[blaketeg]

no running rich will not do that

but it will ruin your cat if you have one, foul your plugs, and produce carbon build up

what are you tuned with? what size injectors are you runnig?

 

[BoostinTEG]

I think im tuned with hondata. not sure.
But im running 450cc injectors.

If the shop is that close, limp it over there. Dont get into the RPM's that you would normally build boost.

 

[BoostinTEG]

I think thats what im gonna try and do.
Ill get back to you guys once i find out whats causing this.
Thanks for all your input!

Although shouldnt the car make at least some boost when reving in neutral?
The boost gauge dosnt move at all.
