Hey all,

I seem to have a problem with my S2 33 GTS-T. The Bosch 040 in tank suddenly has gotten REALLLLLLLLLLY loud. It's never been this loud before and only seems to be getting louder. Previously to getting it tuned (3 weeks ago), you couldn't hear it at all. It got tuned with new injectors and I'm assuming the PowerFC is asking it to flow more so it's louder. Loud being the whiney noise you hear when it works.

The car cannot boost at the moment. It was fine after the tune, however I took a drive up to Newcastle and on the way back it started spluttering when I boosted it. At first I thought it was the clutch slipping so thats been changed for a new item. Now it's still doing it. Basically on stock boost or any boost, the car runs fine but when it tries to boost at 4-4.5K rpm it starts to backfire, and the engine cuts in and out. The same feeling you get when you hit redline except it sounds like it's backfiring. Doesn't matter what gear it is, as soon as it starts to boost same thing happens.

Does anyone have any ideas or questions which might enable me to sort it out? The only thing I can think of is the fuel pump? It was boosting fine after the tune. Two days after the tune I took it to Newcastle. It's since been off the road due to me waiting for the clutch and installation and now it seems the problem is still there.

Any points would be greatful. I'll be taking it to a workshop soon but just interested to see if anyone has anything to add :P I only drive it back and forth from the station but I'm worried more driving could potentially cause damage to it.

Thanks all for reading :no:

Probably the classic dying coil packs.

They all do it.... in fact mine is doing it at the moment too. You'll most likely need to go get yourself a replacement set of coils - unless it turns out to be something else that's causing the problem

Same problem struck me; my 040 got REAL loud and then I started to lose power a week or so later. Turned out the pump was rooted and the power loss is due to the pump not maintaining adequate fuel pressure. Changed my pump and all was sweet. On a side note, my 040 was less than a year old and was in really bad condition when I removed it from the tank so I am now a little dubious of bosch's quality control.

i've heard quite a few horror stories about the bosch fuel pumps, but then i'm sure heaps of people have no troubles with em. I wouldn't get one though.

Gus have you by any chance tried hitting it with a hammer?? That works for me with things....

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
