No power over 3k after DP install

[1SicDsm]

ok ive done alot of searching and i havent quite found my problem, heres what happend i just installed a new downpipe 3inch with cat delete, then i turned my car on and ran it up and down the street and dang it was fine running strong, then like 1 hour later i was driving and i punched it a little and after hitting 3k Rpm it kinda started bogging and the boost goes up really fast but the rpms dont go anywere even if i have it at WOT the rpms just go up really slowly, also psi stays at 10 when before it was hitting 16, ive checked the intercooler piping and all is tight doesnt look like there is a leak

i would do a boost leak test

 

[ilikespeeding]

Is there a CEL?

that extra power might have blown or cracked one of your intercooler or intake couplings........even though you didnt mess with them.......or did you? Did you just take off the stock DP and bolt on the new one?

Is it throwing the Check Engine Light?

Check your front O2 sensor.

thanks guys, in the middle of the night i realized it might be the stock intercooler pipes so in the morning i took everything off and checked them the top IC piping i was able to remove by hand it had a crack in it so i replaced it and DAMN it made everything right again running like a champ.

MOD EDIT: Removed bench racing questions/crap.
Ask Mr. Honda to go to the track with you sometime.

hmmm, i think somebody mentioned that a coupling might be the problem.......doesnt it feel good to be back on the road and running strong? Good luck bro......

 

[1SicDsm]

I YES IT FEELS ALOT BETTER TO BE RUNNING STRONG, AS FOR THE BENCH RACING, i dont need it anymore i took him right now raced him got him 1st 2nd and in the middle of 3rd i blew a pipe off and he kinda caught up but its ok i am sure ill put 2 cars in his ivtec powered a$$ GATTA LOVE DSM POWER!!!!!!!!!

Congrats. You beat a Honda in a drag race. It's like clubbing a baby seal with a backhoe, for the most part. For some real fun, go set yourself up (at the track) against a Camaro Z28. If you've got a real set of stones, shoot for an SS.

 

[Eastwood95]

Stones? ..........so you blew off another coupling? Looks like you need to invest in some T-Bolt Clamps........look into it

 

[1SicDsm]

Yeah I need more stones a z28 dang I dont know and an ss darn I think im a little far from that yeah im ganna get some t-bolts for now I fixed it..

Ask Mr. Honda to go to the track with you sometime.

Umm...well that used to be true, but the NEW Mr. Honda might be a different story. And Mr. 2006 Toyota Camry is more then happy to race you as well. Too bad, huh? Pretty soon we won't have anybody to pick on!

 

[Eastwood95]

Isnt it funny that A LOT of newer cars (4 bangers, V6's and V8's) keep coming out with more and more horsepower, they're starting to keep up with modded dsm's now...............looks like its time for a turbo upgrade.......

 

[Talesin]

Nah, no need to pay out the ass for t-bolt clamps when you take the time to properly bead your IC piping. Most shops will do it fairly cheap, or you can makeshift one in place by running a bead of two-component epoxy or JB Weld around the end and letting it dry completely before reinstalling it.

HEY 1SICDSM, did you reattach the o2 sensor grounding strap after you installed your new Downpipe? If the o2 sensor doesnt have a good ground, it throws off its readings, in most cases it causes a rich mixture......

 

[1SicDsm]

Yeah you know what man, I attached it right and strong, you know whats weird the CEL is not coming on I thought sure enough after I put the cat delete downpipe it would come on does it only come ON in some cars?
