Loss of power at 6,000 RPM

Post by mndc5 »

2005 RSX-S
KPRO SN# 5439
KManager version 3.3.1.0
purchased in 2008 ClubRSX
Race header/ 2.5 exhaust/ RBC intake with ram air/ RDX 410 inj./ deatchwerks 265 lph pump

Over the last year and a half i have noticed my car not pulling through the RPM range like it used to.
I have gone through some datalogs and replaced some parts along the way and no results.
I have replaced both oxygen sensors, MAP, plugs, and most recently pump and injectors.

I originally thought there was a problem when my car would struggle to rev past 7,500 RPM. It has gotten worse since then. Now it has no power past 6,500, and really struggles at 6,000 to even get to there.

I noticed the cycle duty maxing out at 50% about a year ago and it has been going down further since. It now will only go to 25-30% at WOT. I hoped that a new pump and injectors would solve the problem, but it wasn't the case.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was that a full throttle run? The TPS is only 38% and the MAP around 60 kPa.

i just did some reading with TPS calibrations and scaling.
If this is the problem, what is the best solution.
New TPS or just calabrating.

If the MAP is 60 kPa then the throttle is not opening. With the engine off get someone to floor the throttle and check the throttle body.
