Hey guys 

Recently had my rb20det Gts4 Rebuilt.

The car seems very laggy until about 4.5-5k revs until boost hits all at once, when shifting on the highway from 3rd to 4th or 5th gear it also jerks and shudders until boost hits again it definitely does not seem normal. Sometimes between shifting it will pop out the exhaust. 

The car has just had timing set up correctly and also a vacuum leak test. also had a compression test done which came out good. 

next thing to try will be testing the tps 

If anyone has any ideas on where else to try look at would be appreciated! 

car just has a fmic and a walbro 255lph fuel pump. still factory ecu

@GTSBoyFuel pump is new. I haven’t tested the fuel pressure under load but that might be worth trying! fuel pump is still just plugged straight into factory loom without a constant 12v

that's a problem itself, aftermarket pumps consume more current than the OEM wiring can handle - not to mention the OEM drop resistor isn't very helpful in keeping these modern pumps alive.

You need to wire it properly OR PWM them.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.

      It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      I bench bled my HFM BM57 before installing, it leaked badly. Threw it in the bin, because I installed it 2 years after purchase.
