i installed my drag gen 3 turbo kit yesterday on my 97 ex sohc. my car smoked really bad when i first started it and let it run. it doesnt wanna idle good at all. it sputters when i drive until i hit boost. once i hit boost it runs good. my setup is a drag gen 3 turbo kit with a FMU and missing link.

help me find out why it sputters and doesnt wanna idle!!

any answers would be great! thanks

btw: i was running it open downpipe and its only boosting 4psi

welcome to the world of turbo woes.....


no upgraded fuel pump on the car?


get hondata and get the car tuned....thats the best advice i could give...

Atleast run the hack. FMU sucks. Is it still smoking?

i just got back from driving it, no smoke. i fixed my vaccum leak and reset my battery . runs much better just needs some back pressure. i have a walbro 255 intank pump. it idles decent now. but like if i get on it hard then let off the idle will go down real low and sometimes the car will turn off. and 1 last thing i need to fix my oil leak on my oil pan.. HELLO JB WELD LOL ill keep everyone updated. i feel much better now that it runs better

i want a turbo...can i drive it?

Dang Yo

everything is fixed, i put lots of JB weld and liquid gasket on my oil return line fitting were i THINK it was leaking ill let the sit overnight and see, if no leaks then im getting my exhaust done and rolling out to the garagebattle spot to chill with all my homies!

you dont need backpressure on a turbo

hey man you should replace your fuel filter/fuel filters whenever you turbo a honda thats a must

bye

what vacuum are you at when yer at idle? and sometimes people put their missing link on upside, and it causes it to run similar to what yer saying...
