What went wrong with my hondata or is the 3 bar map sensor?

Post by dxk eg »

I just got my car tuned at 14 lbs a few weeks ago and I went to the track this weekend and I couldn't boost pass 14 lbs. I turned up the boost a little bit and went to lined up and started off the on first gear and when boost hit's it feels like I hit a wall. Then check engine light came on and my car won't go, but if i let go of the gas so boost does hit I was able to drive it down the track with no boost and the check engine light goes off. After that I turned the boost back to 14 lbs and the car run fine. But I was not happy with my time, which was 13 sec. flat at 102 mph. So is this my hondata that's acting up or is my 3 bar map sensor? :?

You will need to contact the tuner and see if they enabled a boost cut. If the car was not tuned above 14 psi then you should not raise the boost until it is properly tuned for the higher boost levels. Your tuner may have done you a favor and saved you from blowing up the engine.

I don't think the s100 stage 2 box with boost have a boost cut or do they? This is amost like the s200 it sits outside the ecu and not inside like the s100 chips.
