90 eclipse gs turbo.
k&n, hacked maf 13lb boost. uip throttle body elbow. manual boost cont. and 3 heads
Bent the valves on my head, so I bought one off ebay and was bad, bought another one and I think it is good. compression is ok but some noises worry me. Anyways was driving and under boost the rpm after 3k suddenly go up quickly to 5k. Obviously slipping. So I went in 3rd gear and and got on it to see if the clutch was slipping. Well it slipped from like 3-5k and then started bucking or jerking like something was seizing up. Is there anything that I could have done to cause this from replacing the head?
Also yesterday I got on it in first gear and had wheel hop then into second lost boost and power and my guage was fluttering really irradically. I push on the gas and it went to having no positive boost. Then coasted to the corner turned gave some gas and it was fine...could the wastegate cause this.
I think it may be the tranny (my bad luck) but need some input as i am poor and have just spent 500 on the damn car.
THIS PROBLEM suddenly appeared. In 24 hours and have not experienced anything that may have lead up to a slipping clutch. besideds replacing my head.
Cam Timing is on but the ignition timing I believe is off. Could this cause a false reading to the tach and cause bucking. The sensor on the cam was replaced from another head cause one had broken wires and I have not set the ignition timing.
help is appreciated..
