Default Re: I think my car is suffocating, SC related

First, he stated the motor is not wrapping up. If his clutch was toast, he would just be revving high w/o taking off. I'm not too familiar with that motor or setup, but I'll try to help where I can. Let me ask a couple of questions first; (I'm assuming H22's never came from the factory supercharged)

Was the setup running fine prior to this?
Does your motor have knock sensors?

If the setup was running fine prior, my honest guess is that a sensor or wire came loose OR your fuel filter is clogged. Double and triple check your MAF, IAT, and MAP sensors to be sure that all wires are connected securely. Another thing you're going to want to check, make sure theres not any sort of positive grounding itself out on the engine block. Now after you do that, check and change your fuel filter, it could be clogged. If its not the ECM compensating the timing, then most likely its a fuel issue.

Now if you just installed this setup and this is happening, and provided your motor has knock sensors, you're probably runnig too much boost and running into knock retard. Knock retard (KR) is your ECM's prevention method against pre-detonation and saving the motor from catastrophy (e.g. chipped piston, bent valve, etc). Hope this helps.

Edit: And one more thing, if you try this and none of it works, its possible that you jumped a tooth or two on your timing belt/chain. Double check your timing to make sure its on.
