just installed greddy turbo kit i got emanage ultimate but when hooked up it wont rev over 3000 and with just turbo doesnt feel that much power and kinda dies out if i smash gas pedal what is this? and im saving for kpro so dont say shit about it

Take out the pos emanage. Take off pos turbo kit. Wait for said kpro. Reinstall turbo kit once you acquire kpro. Tune then boost :vtec:

ok thanks but cant i run it with the emanage ultimate when i find a tuner and what if i run no boost? what makes it soo bad to do this? and can anyone answer my first question bout power loss when romping the gas

Either your fuel or ignition timing is probably all out of wack. Its most likely bogging from being to rich.

lol you can't run a lower boost then the internal wastegate on that turbo allows. I think its like 5-7psi or something from what I remember. Just get the kpro. Car runs like stock with kpro and boost. Buying kpro saves yourself the money of having to get a new motor in a month or two. Emanage does not work well with the rsx period. And take emanage and the turbo out before you break something expensive.

I have heard of people adjusting it. Why would you want to run no boost? Do you just want a noise maker?:rotfl: Just take the kit off and wait. Sell emanage for like $400. Save yourself the other $800 and buy kpro.

you shouldn't have wasted ur time putting that shit on there because it's going to do no good for you and is going to mess ur shit up. kpro is not a bitch for your car at all. i have an 05 type s so i run the same kpro you would have to and it's fine. you can get it new for like 1300 bucks, i'm not a rich little kid with money i'm 21 full time student fire fighter and i work hard for my money too. all i can suggest is before you start putting serious parts on your car, learn about it so you really know what you are doing. TAKE OFF THE TURBO, GET KPRO PUT THE TURBO BACK ON. DONT PLAY GAMES WITH TURBOS, they'll blow your shit up hahah

listen to everyone man u are running to rich.if u do not remove your setup till u get k pro u are going to need a new motor. ive seen one blowup last week someone who wouldnt listen just like u. a costly mistake plus parts went through the hood 3g in damage. he had setup for a week.same turbo with emanage small world.

Why keep the turbo kit in when it's likely going to do more harm than good. We understand that it sucks to take it out but would you rather spend more money that you don't have fixing/replacing a motor all because you were too lazy to uninstall the kit. Take it out...

ok you guys are right im just gonna cut down the driving and turn the boost off for now but im getting kpro asap thanks hopefully with next 2 weeks anybody got any body whos selling it cus i need it for 05-06 with adapter harness anybody know why?
 
#25 ·
its my only car for now or i can just disconnect pipe to intake and turn off boost through waste gate.. but where can i get harness i looked everywhere its only in set is there a way i can use my ecu sorry for all questions new to turbos motor swaps are easy!!!
