hey i have a 98 eclipse spyder gst with a k&n air filter and a hks ssq bov, when i hit the gas it boggs between 3000 and 5000 rpm, i think its because im getiing to much psi and not enough gas, wat do u think?

i think it might be something like boost spike or something

Is your BOV venting, or are you recirculating it?

recirculating

Check your spark plug gaps, plug wires, and maf. It sounds like alot, but my car used to do the same thing, and it was because I was running so rich, it would just flood the motor. Also make sure that you dont have a boost leak somewhere taht would make you run richer or too rich.

BTW I checked out your set-up, and I think I like what your running....

Do you mind if I ask you a question about which plugs you're running....

My car came with these gnarly 2 electrode NGK plugs, I think they were NGK BPR6ESKN....
What's your take on these, or should I just run the BPR6ES's..... I'm not trying to jack a thread, just thought we were discussing potential issue's amongst comrades....

Peace

Cool, I think 92 AWD ECLIPSE has got the right idea.... how do you like that HKS BOV....
I'm in the market for an upgrade kinda leaning to a Type S.... any suggestions....

i would do what 92 AWD Eclipse said. i had exact same thing happened to me when i installed k&n air filter and a hks ssq bov.

i currently have the BPR6ES and i am telling you for sure that they are a lot better than the super expensive iridium plugs($10 each...blah!),.. anyway, i am now getting ready to put the BPR6EkN and actually made a thread about it coz i want to know how they work, but i guess they are a stock plugs for later dsm model.

Yeah, that's what I've heard too....
I'm not driving my car just yet, cuz when I flushed my engine and did a T-Belt,
and the BSE, my vavle cover started to leak, could be my cam seals too, I'll take care of that next weekend.....
I didn't have a valve cover gasket, so I'm waiting on that still....
I do have the 4 sparkplug well gaskets though, and I'm waiting to pick a valve cover up from a guy so I can have it powder coated blue, I can't wait, it's gonna be sick as fook.....
I'll change my plugs to the NGK BPR6ES's and ditch the $48 plugs.....
Thanks for your input....
