Boost Help (GSX)

[king_of_HTX]

I just recently picked up a stock 95 gsx and so far I have installed greddy upper and lower ic piping, greddy type rs bov and a injen intake. I really didn't get a chance to drive the car before all of this was put on but now that I get to drive it liek I really want to it seems like the car stops making power @ about 3500 rpms in 2nd - 5th gear. Can somebody please give me some kind of clue to what may be going wrong.

Oh yea... I forgot to mention that I am new to Dsms.

I pray that you are recirculating that Greddy Type-RS. If not you're gonna suffer the wrath

I have the maft and all that other good stuff too. so I don't think that is my problem... :-/

 

[jeffrey]

Good deal, hopefully someone will offer helpful suggestions

 

[king_of_HTX]

I hope so because losing to a almost stock focus is not something I want to EVER happen again.

you my friend are suffering from the dreaded t25.

the t25 will start to die off at high rpms at wide open throttle. also, check for boost leaks....if you think a 12 year old car doesnt have any boost leaks, youre nuts .

The car has a 14b turbo and I plan on doing a boost leak test as soon as I get some spare time.

What does your aftermarket boost gauge say you're making as far as max boost is concerned?

What spark plugs are you using? Wires?

Have you started using the MAFt for tuning? Do you have a logger?

Yep BLT reveals all. Perform one and be amazed.

the t25 will be out of its range at 5000 rpm youll start to notice that the boost is decreasing, thats if your running 15psi. As for power loss, i agree with the other guys make your self a boost leak tester or buy one. I made one out of a type of cupler from canadian tire they have plastic on the back, so i just drilled in and attached a fitting and line and then hooked up the compressor with a gauge. Did you use sealent when you hooked the blow off valve on? if not thats prob where the leak is.
