im still wondering why does by car lag power.. what can cause lag of power? can ya name all da posibilities....

 

What have you done to it?

 

This is why people who can't do their own work and can't pay to have it done shouldn't go turbo.

 

Have you done somthing about your awful compression numbers? That is where I would start.

 

yeah if your motor has a lot of miles on it, it'll start to lose its compression. I started to notice it with my prelude a couple weeks ago. i have 145,000 miles on my motor. Plus me revving the motor so high it jus made it worse. Thats what i get from not knowing ne better when i first got my car :doh:

 

bascially its not money... i just cant find the time to ever check it out.... going turbo.. no regrets.. its just a post man... its whats forums are for right? but about the compression test.. ima redo da test ...

 

New plugs? New wires? New rotor and cap? My son's car had very low power due to a failing plug wire.

 

Try fuel system cleaner, it is like $10 but you be surprised, this stuff helps a lot

 

It's a direct relation to the fact that you have low compression, probably due to fried rings and/or cracked ringlands thanks to boosting on the blue box.

 

when is the last time your car got some loving, a tune up.

spark plugs
plug wires
distributor cap
rotor
fuel filter
air filter(change/clean if you have cai set-up)

does your car warm all the way up, or take a long time to warm up?
check thermostat and replace radiator hoses, and refill with fresh antifreeze.
