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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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?
