I feel that my engine losing some powers.....

The symptoms are...

- Bit dull and difficult to rev from RPM at 4-7k
- Running at 0.6 bar only.... and sometimes it seemed bit
dull to reach 0.6 but 0.5 on uphill...
- Less G-force.... after 4th gear... no G-force at all...

Any idea about this? or have any similar problems before??

Feel quite upset.... no power... :frown:

maybe you are used to the power edi? :D

hmmm, check your plugs, see if they are in good condition and check your ignition timing.

did you do anything to your setup before you felt a loss of power?

why don't you try getting your car dyno-ed, if you have dyno your car before, compare the old and new graph. but typically performance would deterioriate little by little due to age. if dyno no problem, then if most probably is you got used to the power. other diagnostic equipment such as compression test will alos help you find the root of your prob.

Wow... so many good comments I can see here...!!!!
I'm really appreciated to u all guys....

Yea.. for the first of all, I gotta see experienced mechanic
first... to see any leakings or other parts cause my car slow.. yea.. that's true.. Another thing is obviously I get used to
power of my car... haha...

Secondly... I need to do a dyno test to check fuel raito
and so on...

Thirdly.. yes I get Flywheel skimmed...

Forthly.. I equiped metal gasket.. oh.. then I might be running
with low compression obvisouly... I just forgot it.. haha
I'm dumb hahahaha...

Fifthly... I used to run with original Evo3 set but currently
I'm running with VR4 block.. it's components inside such as
conrods and crankshaft all that.. it's much heavier than
Evo3.....


Thanks for all the precious comments... I roughly know what's
going on my car now... hahaha.. I gotta see mh mechanic to
discuss about this all..

actuaLLy there is 2 type of boost meter reading...
1 boost meter that using controL box which mean the reading is base on controL box reading where is the vacum connect to the controL box, and the controL box wiLL send the info to boost meter.
2 boost meter direct to vacum.

this 2 type of boost meter wiLL sure give u adifferent reading when u'r turbo car is in idLe...

i'm aLso using evoIII machine previousLy, now oredi change to sumethin eLse.... he he he cannot teLL Loorr....

thats whY u need 2 noe wat tYpe of boost meter r u using and the resuLt that u'LL get.... maYbe a bit higher or a bit Lower,

:dancing2: :dancing2: :dancing2:
