Lack Luster JRSC Install

[strng1dah]

i got pretty much instant boost when i had the charger on. I had my static FP set at 58 psi. And as you would imagine i was getting 98 at full boost. I also had an intake on the entire time I had the blower so i dont know if that would cause the difference you are experiencing.

You have your timing set at what? 10 degrees?

And as for the boost in neatral...I dont think it will always do that. I never had boost in neutral, it would only go to like 15" like yours, then all of the sudden one day it started boosting when I was double clutching and in neutral.

try it for a whirl around the block with the resonator removed from the intake, and also with the fitler removed form the intake and see if there i any difference. One quick trip shouldn't cause any problems. If there is a huge difference then I would suggest an intake.

Look at your bypass valve operation. It sounds like it is not closing quickly. Perhaps something is interfering with it. It has a relatively strong spring, but should move by hand easily.

Try this: Start the car and get under the hood. Open the throttle by hand (like a hard stab on the gas pedal). You can watch the bypass valve. It should snap shut very quickly.

So, you found 30 HP in that kinked boost gauge line eh ?!?

lol

I think you ought to put in the bigger fuel pump and leave the fuel pressures where they lie... you may see some increased performance above 6500 rpm with the extra gas.

BTW, no apology is necessary. I am always glad to help a guy in need. Call me anytime you need assistance.

Have FUN !!

Yeah,
After a while you do get used to it. And I do the exact same thing...go race something. I've destroyed many an ego while boosting my own in my car.
And like I said before test drives will show you just how fast your car is!

5ltreater,
Weeelllcoommmeeee to the darkside man!!

I know about being not overly impressed with the SC. I was soooooo hyped about it that when I first got it put in I was pissed that I didn't break my neck when I punched the gas. lol. But once you drive it for a while you learn HOW to drive it, you learn HOW to make the tires smoke thru 3rd gear...which I have done many times. Really it's all about expectations. After a month or so of driving your darkside car, go test drive a new RSX and THEN you will realize just how fast your car is!!!
I drove a new type R after I had my car SC for about 6 months and I thought that something was wrong with the car!! It felt that slow! Give it time.

Good to have you with us

Thanks Austin, it's good to finally be here. I really did have my expectations too high. I like the kit and the performance but I'm glad I got it used. Had I paid full price I might be miffed I went JRSC. I have never seen a turbo kit new or used for what I got my JRSC for so overall I'm happy. I hope to be happier when I put in the stepper pully and 310's. After that, there is no more, or so I would have my wife believe. I'd like to run stock timing so a BTC will be necessary eventually and I should look into an intake and exhaust.

I need to take it to the track. It just doesn't feel like a mid to low 14 second car which is theoretically what I could run. I hope that riding in Randomwalk's car is similar to mine to verrify that I'm getting all I can out of it.

Yes...putting all the money into your car means you will likely be keeping it for some time. If it keeps you from buying a new car it is probably saving you money. The RSX Type S is nice but after a test drive the thing felt like it was running on 2 cylinders compared to my car.

Its funny what people's expectations are when installing the blower. I could not believe the power especially in first and second gear. It was stupid! After a while you just get used to it and think it's not really all that fast. That is until you smoke a Mustang GT or something on the highway!!

Have FUN !!
