hey guys

did some mods to my car and needed to get a new fuel pump installed , so i got a brand new Bosch 040.

had the workshop the car was in to install it as i didnt really have an option

but ever since i got the car back and the petrol has dropped below half a tank , it feels like its just surging...

me and a mate just took the cover and lines off and this is what we discoverd...

shit does NOT look right to me...

the dickbags used carby hose and it basically blew off the top of the pump and cracked because its not reinforced...

top workmanship right there!

so after basically re-doing the install myself my car now runs perfectly. after buying a new ecu, coilpacks , plugs etc...

last time i take my car to a workshop

Name and shame the workshop please. That is a serious error of judgement right there, for the sake of perhaps half an of saved labour, these guys have put your motor at risk.

i will be.

its cost me so much f**king money because i got told it was my ecu , z32 and fuel pump...

so i had to buy a new z32, new ecu & new fuel pump , only to have said pump installed by a monkey.

f**k sake , me and my mates did a better job installing it AT NIGHT WITH AN IPHONE AS A LIGHT then these wankers did...

none of us are mechanics either , just enthusiasts. now thats saying something is it not?

I must admit , i really do love paying money and having my car run lean and surge under load, i really hope it pops a cylinder so i can spend all this money on my money tree ive been growing...

You had an iPhone hovering above the opening of the fuel tank? :D

all that bullshit about mobile phones causing petrol stations to blow up is just that... bullshit. modern phones these days have zero spark producing ability. Furthermore its pretty hard to ignight fuel in some situations... if you lit a ciggy lighter inside a petrol tank it would probably not even light, nore would it ignite anything due to very low levels of oxygen. that said i wouldnt try it ;)

lol ive been stooged by the tool bags at repco twice.

If you ever ask for efi hose make sure u watch them cut it off the drum and read the drum.

For some reason they seem to seem that low pressure carburetta hose is rated to 70 psi and will be fine on my track car.

also its partly my fault for not looking at the hose until i got home.

apart from myself. the only people who touch my car are my father and uncle (both motor mechanics and deisel fitters)

i know both my tuner and engine builder well now and would not let them near the car if i didnt know how reputable they were.

      r34's love to squeal

      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.
