Hey. My Rx-7 feels extremely underpowered. My boost gauge says I am getting the regular psi ratings, but i hear a leak and cannot pinpoint it. I checked all the hoses and tubes, and everything seems fine. The car starts out really sluggish, like it's having problems getting the turbos spooled. I can get the turbos going, but it has about a 3-4 second delay before i get them anywhere. Also its a california car, so i wonder if their emmisions has anything to do with restriction. Anyways please provide any advice you can, it is much appreciated.

 

Oh by the way its a 1993 automatic. just makin gsure you guys know (im sure you do anways). thanks for the help again. . .

 

check your downpipie if its glowing red when you have the car on..... i suspect a clogged cat

 

check rats nest to, if you hear a leak its most likely in there. im not sure if a downpipe would make a leaking sound if the cats are clogged or not. go non-seq !

 

I have checked the cat and it seems okay. Thanks for the advice. . . Keep it coming and thank you

 

you took the cat off ? if it seems ok then its vaccume lines man

 

It is an auto. How low RPMs are you talking? yeah the car isnt going to pull at 1-3k rpms...

 

not till boost

 

im talking about 3 seconds for any boost to kick in, thats nto right. ive driven other auto rx-7's and they are a lot faster than this guy. it honestly takes about 3-4 seconds before there is any boost, and you guys know it doesnt take that long to get the rpms above 3k. Anyways more suggestions are welcomed and i thank you for them

 

Make sure the actuator arms are connected, if it's missing the clips they will pop off.
