Hey guys I have a 34 gtt that has a hi flow turbo and a walbro 550 fuel pump intank,

When the car just starts to come onto boost it surges like it's running out if fuel an if you

Give it a bit more throttle it starts to ping. As far as I know the fuel is connected properly

I adjusted the cam timing back to where it looked like it was originally (it had been marked

So someone has stuffed around with it before) an it didn't make a difference. Any help would

Be great in trying to further it out, if I can't figure it out will just have to take it to a dyno

Next week an see what they say.

The stock turbo is capable of sending the ecu into protect mode far less for a high flow turbo

When did the problem start? after the installation of the highflow?

If not it will most likely to be something to do with the fuel system as u say it pings with more throttle......U know the difference between pinging and a misfire right?

I found the problem the walbro pump was just connected to the standed Fuel pump wiring which didn't have enough voltage going through it. I did the fuel pump rewire that was posted up here by 369, an it fixing the surging......it's getting the fuel it needs now.

An yes I do know the difference between pinging an missfire.......so I also had to retard the timing abit which stopped the pinging, still taking it to get dyno tuned next week just to be safe.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
