ive got a 4g63 95 eclipse with a few mods. i rebuilt the motor and turned it over now it bogs under load on the motor as well as timing issues. im completely confuzeled on what to do. any body got any answers for me?
 
can not be much help without a list of mods. you did trust us there is nothing you did that was not done before or tried already there is no secrets when i comes to our car we all share ideas.
 
I highly doubt anyone would see your mods and think wow i wanna have his exact car and mods and go buy everything you have. Sharing is caring around here :)
 
ya'll are right. sorry. i updated my mods. but things to know: had it started and running for a couple days then someone turned the boost WWWAAAY up and over boosted the turbo. was broken into and tuner was stolen along with gagues. it puffed smoke and bogged before it got blown up i was reading on here and think it might have been the CAS or CPS same thing. but for some stupid reason it wont even spark anymore. anybody have any suggestions?

""it puffed black smoke and bogged before it got blown up""" so your engine is blown ? or what? and black smoke is from raw unburnt fuel from a Rich A/F mixture and if someone turned up your boost and you were boosting like that its VERY likely that your engine would be damaged if you drove like that for an extended period of time.

What were you using for Tuning? If you were using a standalone and it got stolen that would be why you have no spark. If you just had a SAFC or something your no spark issues could be coils, ignition control module, plug wires, plugs or even ECU or CAS.

But i am very confused on what is actually going on here? Your original post is very confusing along with the second post you made. Please just state the symptoms/issues you are experiencing because i am very confused. You say you it bogs under load and you have timing issues then you say your tuner was stolen and your engine blew up? Thats just all very confusing to me.:confused:
 
ok. ill try and make this a little more clear. i bought the car with a blown head gasket. i replaced that and a few other things. we got the build done, and it was running great. then stuff started going down hill. the timing skipped a tooth. then when i had it at speed technique it was broken into and they stole gagues and SAFCII tuner. now my friend tried starting it and now it wont even spark. and yes, when the car was running and it bogged when it started boosting. i am currently wondering if it is bad to turn it over with the tuner not in it, and what could cause the spark issues. sorry for all the confusion im kinda new and dont know everything yet. my friend helped me with the build and he knows a little more then i do.

o. and yes i think the turbo is blown. not sure yet too freaking cold to dig into it. but i dont think the motor is bad. it only drove like that untill i could slow down. the timing skipped and i pulled over and towed it home.
