yea well theres a really really really bad problem with my car i'm like well lets start out with how i knew something was wrong...i'm s'cd and i lost to a 6spd g35 with an intake...i'm like ok something is wrong...so that had me pissed...so i decided to go to get the car dyno'ed to see what kind of power i'm making ok well i'm making 270 whp and 208 lb/ft...good for a s/c tl with exhaust, pulley and procats...lol yea right...so i'm like ok we do one more pass and its 271 whp and 200lb/ft...so we decided to look at the graph the hp..it is smooth but the torque is like goin up in steps..and i'm not gettin the full 4.5 lbs of boost until i get into higer rpms...so mike at e-shift perfor. told me that i most likely have a bad torque converter..

so what do u guys think...is tha torque converter the problem...and if i want to replace it can i juss go ahead and get a new one or do i have to buy the whole set up...when i say the whole set up i mean to the bolts, and o-ring washer the labor is about $900 from the dealer...and i kno some people might ask..its and auto 04 tl

has anyone else had this type of prob..


everything that is listed from this site http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray...=All&vinsrch=no


i kno i have it posted 2 places...but no 1 seems to be replyin it in the problems sections..wanted to try here

 

I have the same car, 2004 Auto with all your mods and I'm making 300 something horses and 240 lbs of torque, dynoed at Mike's shop! So yeah you numbers are low no shit, something is definitely wrong! Were and when did you dyno you car?

 

dyno was done on march 30th...at e shift performance...i kno something is wrong, i'm lookin for further insight on what tha cause maybe...and what do i need from the link in the 1st post to go about changing my torque converter..if that is the prob..

 

When they dynoed, what was the A/F ratio running?

 

^Yeah I wanted to get to that that's why I mentioned dyno, it might be fuel/air related like with some other guys who had power deficit with SC-engine running too lean or too rich, bad injector,intake air leak Any CELs, surge,how is the car driving? The more info you give the better! Also do a search, there is a lot of info out there in archive, I'm sure you'll find it useful.

Mike knows he's stuff but I don't think the torque converter is the culprit though!

 

well mike said that the air/fuel was good...he was lookin at the guage i have and he hooked up another one..and both was about 11.2.....no CEL's...the reason he said it was the TC...because its not a smooth line...and it doesnt keep goin up...i 4got at what rpm it was that the torque line started to drop off...i believe it was at about 70 mphs i have about 218lbs/ft and then it drops down to to 200lbs/ft

 

Hey StYLeZz... I thought you were selling the charger??? Sorry to hear about your problems... Hope everything works out for you...

 

i was plannin to..but then i was like screw it and went ahead with the install..but now with this prob. i not 100% on what i'ma do..probably it will be up for sale cuz i dont wanna fix the car...might get a 07 type s

 

Wow, that seems kinda low and that is definately a disappointing loss, but im sure you'll figure out the problem and smoke that G next time ;p ~ good luck

 

that's odd, I make right around the same ball park....... I'd say about 287whp.. against a G35 with exhaust it's no match for mine....
I've had the blower in since last march....
