Probably ought to check the waste gate vacuum lines. If you are running a boost controller and a line comes off, it will dump at waste gate spring pressure. Check for boost leaks. Your AEM may have a boost cut in place also. Lots to check. Take it to a tuner if you are uncomfortable troubleshooting all of this. Stay out of boost until you figure it out.

 

I've been easy on it since this problem came up, I just changed the plugs and I'm about to go look over every inch of the motor and do an oil change. I'm new to the turbo world so I don't know much about troubleshooting it. If changing the oil doesn't fix it my friend is going to check the vtec solenoid and hopefully that fixes it. I'm praying its something small. And I'll see if I can get somebody to ride with me and make a video of it.

 

The AEM boost gauge has option, I was told by the seller not to touch it and mess with any of the settings so I don't blow the motor. When I get the time I'm going to see if I can find a local tuner around Frederick MD that knows what they are doing and can take a look at it. This problem also happens when the car is warmed up 2-3 bars of heat.

 

Do you have a build spec on this setup? Pictures of the setup? Any datalogs of the car? I'm always wary of buying someone else's problem.

 

No I don't have anything on the car. And the only reason I bought this car is because the guy agreed to take my Totaled GTO off my hands. So least I got a car with a clean title. Just gonna need some work and help from everybody lol.

 

This is where I was told the Line needs to be hooked up to.


My Manifold Has the Map sensor in it, instead of at the TB


This is where the Map Sensor Should be I guess


This is the spot on the head where I found a hose just hanging in the back of the motor.




Found these 3 Plugs hanging behind the driver side light in front of my intercooler.




This is another picture of the line hanging off my car.


The 3 wires behind the car.

 

Posted picture of things I have found wrong with the car. I'm not sure where the Line should be placed. I was told I need to tap a hole into the Intake before the turbo and put it there, but that doesn't make sense. On my friends s2000 the line runs from the head to his CAI.

 

I'm going to see how much I can fix of this car on my own, I have a second car to drive so looks like this is going to become a project for me. Then I'll take it to some tuner and have them look everything over. Rather not drive it and risk blowing it up and then have a really big problem.

 

That line should go to the intake of the turbo or just put a small filter on it. It'll stink though. The "map" sensor on the intake looks like your intake temp sensor (i can't see the pics too well tho, iPhone) the plugs may be for the airpump in the front bumper if it was removed.

Let some of the more knowledgeable guys look at this

 

So doesn't actually have to be attached to the CAI like it would if i didn't have the turbo?
