Hey ppl

I put new turbo in my car ITS brand and front mount, and went to test drive the car and car just shudders and goes nowhere as soon as it boosts over 3000 rpm, mind everything is standard apart from catback exhaust and pod filter...guy at workshop that fitted turbo says fuel pump cant cope with the power turbo makes. For reference this turbo made 320hp at wheels on 10psi, 360rwhp at 15 psi and 410hp at 18psi and on my car its set at 13psi and thats set by wastegate...so my question is does this above happen when fuel pump cant cope, and which fuel pump should i get for 350hp at wheels and are warlbro pumps any good...by the way im putting new clutch today (9 button ceramic extreeme brand), getting batmbl split front pipe and cat on monday and getting it tuned next week with wolf 3d plug and play computer so any thoughts are welcome...

regards

Goran

Problems in order as i read them.

1) Your running a bigger turbo with stock dump,need the bigger one fitted.

2) Your running a stock ECU and 13psi from a bigger turbo? Major problem

3) your running stock injectors, you'll be on the limit of thier usefulness and will need to upgrade IMO

4) You will also need a bigger fuel pump, walbro's are junk

put all your bits on, get a fuel pump then see how its all performing then.

You have too many things that you will address, and need to before a better answer can be given.

Why are Walbro's junk ? Less than claimed output, or longevity etc ??

on my car we were using it and around 250rwkw it the AFR's werent looking so good.

We then decided just to use the walbro as a lift pump and then use a Bosch pump with the surge tank.

At time of installation of the surge the walbro was checked to make sure it hadnt moved in the tank and it was fine.

Had upgraded power etc.

Back onto dyno... surprise surprise. AFR's totally different = rich as. I wasnt impressed thats for sure and im not the only person.

    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
    • I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
