Hey guys,

I have a little issue with my car (95 GSX Auto) , ever since I bought it has felt way to slow from a stop to about 3,000. After that, I have always been impressed. Even more so now with the mods I have done.

I have installed new plugs and wires, and did a boost leak test, only found one and that was fixed. I run 15psi becuase the lack of an upgraded fuel pump. Heres is what I have done so far: FP Big T28, Ported 2G Manifold, K&N Air Filter, Greddy Type S BOV, Autometer boost and A/F gauge, 2.5 Exhaust, Greddy complete upper and lower Intercooler piping, Aluminum Intake Pipe, Dejon tool MBC.

The car doesnt feel like its lost any power at all, i've noticed the increase in power from these mods after 3,000 rpm, infact it takes off like a bat out of hell after that, but bottom end has never changed. To be perfectly honest from a stop it feels worse then my auto gs I used to own.

So please guys if have any ideas please chime in, thanks! :dsm:
 
Is it building boost under 3k?

If so, I think because it's an auto and it's awd, along with the bigger turbo, it's the way it is...
Bout the only thing you could do is get a higher stall converter...

Another thought, are you starting in first with the shifter? Sometimes my old fwd auto dsm used to start in 2nd. Eventually the tranny fried, but it didn't always start in first...

Godd luck...
 
It builds boost about 2,700, so right after is when I notice it running better.

I heard that if a torque converter starts to go, it can cause some of things I am am having issues with. Anyone hear anything about this?
