new to the forums...need help..mayb re-tune?

Post by seros »

hey guys

this is my first post
i just signed up to these forums
so bare with me

and i need some advice/help

i drive an eg civic hatchback
with a usdm gsr swap
inlinepro t3/t4 turbo kit
and a 2.0mm headgasket from inline pro

i have an s200 with boost option and other options that i havent even begun to play with...not installed (clutch switch?)

when i got tuned
i got a decent 320 hp at 12 psi
for daily drivability
not bad for running with an rsr exhaust (very restrictive)
everything was fine

i blew the headgasket :cry:


i took the head to a machine shop
head got milled just a tad bit....to make sure everythin was even
slapped the head back on
and my overheating problem got fixed

but now its running a little bit sluggish now
if thats the word to describe it

it just feels like it hesitates a bit
and doesn't have a quick throttle response anymore
feels like it dosen't wanna rev as easily as it did before
another synthom iv noticed is that it blows off when i rev it whiles shes parked and it never did that before...i dont know if that even matters

i was told to check my vacum lines
silicone couplings
claps
and whatnot

lately weather hasnt been all that nice here
soo i havent gotn to that yet
but i was wondering if i might/should get it retuned??

could that be my problem?
any ideas?
help mee!!!

i know im missing alot of information
but if anyone could help me
it would save me alot of stress
and unwanted headaches not to mention money

if theres anything i forgot to mention
or anything u need to know
please just ask me and ill get whatever information u might need

thanks in advanced

I would suggest taking it back to your tuner to have a look at it. IT is impossible to determine over the internet what the problem is based on your description.

You can do that if you have a wideband.
