Hi Guys,

My car seems to have a problem whereby if i am say going around a round about, i cannot give it any real power otherwise the car literally starts to conk out and almost stall/come to a crawl unless i back off and when im out of the corner a bit it will let me put the power down again. Its a bit freaky to be honest... like im out of petrol. But i had 1/3 of a tank the other day when it last happened so yeah thats not it.

Anyone had this problem before and know what the cause is?

fuel starvation at the pump end,

Your fuel pump has possible fallen out of the cradle or you micht have some crap stuck on it.

VERY bad for your engine. because it will lean out and go BANG!!!

Drive very carefully untill the tank is bone dry and inspect the fuel tank.

yes it's either:

1. your aftermarket pump was not mounted properly (not low enough and with a good pick-up)

2. your pump is dying.

3. your standard pump has come out of the cradle, or the cradle has slid out of it's bracket at the bottom of the tank.

either way get into the tank and see what the problem is. it will be killing your pump very quickly if it's running dry like that so often.

It only happens if i try to put my foot down in a round about or sharp corner, normal driving it almost never occurs, so i know how to avoid it.

I have stock fuel pump with a GTR fuel filter.

I dont think this is something i can do myself because i have absoltely no idea how or how anything should be. But are you saying the tank has to be empty??

tank doesn't have to be empty, but the less fuel, they nicer it is to do. if you are not sure what you're doing just take it to a workshop. any competent mechanic should be able to sort it out no problem.

ok so I'm having the same problem however 

I have walbro 341 pump it is getting pretty old was in the car before I bought it, brand new Link ECU and boost controller. and other mods.

not sure if how much psi I am running is relevant but gate pressure is about 13-14psi. stage one is 17 stage two is 19.5. 

under load when cornering fuel cut occurs. happens up some steep hills if I put my foot down to much. does not happen under braking. 

along a straight roads at slow speeds sharp left to right it also cuts out..?? 

any ideas?? my thoughts were possibly a sensors is not happy there for telling the ECU to cut fuel?? or typical pump mounting or pump is on its way out..

Is your Walbro directly wired? Get your fuel pressure tested (have you replaced the fuel filter in the engine bay?). Have a look in the tank to see if pickup is still in the right place and sock on the end is in good nick.

I would just pull the access cover in the trunk/boot and pull the whole fuel cage and see what the deal is...with the cover off can shine a light in and see if there's any sediment too

Kiwi curious where the fuel filter is? just got a gts4 with rb20 and probably wouldn't hurt to do this to mine

Assuming its the same as my Stagea (might not be) just follow the fuel lines back from the rail to the side of the engine bay and you should (might) see a disposable filter clipped to the  side. Actually here is a thread with some pics as well as a "how to " link -apparently they are a pain to do on your car:

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
