I Feel Power Loss!!!!

hey everyone this might sound dumb but here it goes................

i have a jdm b16a with just short ram intake when i take off in 1st gear its fine good power especially when vtec engages then i shift to second and it feels like a power loss then it picks back up again then in 3rd it feels weaker...???? any suggestions please would help thanks....

what kind of car?

other mods?

bigger rims?

93 dx coupe civic

94 jdm b16a

mods= cheap short ram intake

stock rims....

probably gotta reset the ecu so it can get used to having more air.

and how do i do that besides they battery thing... i hate doing that because it fucks up my stereo and shit... is there any other way?

what rpm do you shift at and whatrpm are you shifting into?

Pull the hazard fuse located in the under-hood fuse panel.

I am wondering what Bambooseven is, what RPM's?

each gear i shift at 8100 rpms and from 1st to 2nd it drops to like 4200 then from 2nd to 3rd it stay like at 5100..?

hazard fuse i dont know about that one.... ive hard of the ecu fuze or something to that nature... well ok guys let me know anymore info.. thanks

I feel the pain of that engine.

what do you meen you feel the pain of my engine??? wat is it? p;lease help

:headshake :shakehead :grinno:
As per stated in the Factory repair manual:
Remove HAZARD fuse in the under-hood fuse box for 10 seconds to reset the ECU

Anyways - what tranmission are you using?

y21 tranny

what it sounds like to me is the dynamic of how a car works. you're going to accelerate alot in lower gears and at higher rpm, more power is made at higher rpm's and the lower gear is there for that bottom end acceleration. You'll feel less of a pull in higher gears because they are not as steep. maybe i'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but i think what you're talking about is the same in any car. It's the reason why you can't spin the wheels in 4th gear at 4500 rpm by punching it, but in 1st, see what happens, you know?

I think what he meant was after installing the intake, the change in the amount of pull he felt in each gear, with respect to the original pull, decreased.

It should be assumed that all people know they way a transmission works in terms of sacrificing power for speed.

can someone tell me wat is the difference in these 2 trannys

s21 or y21??? thanks
