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.

    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?  
    • Well, I was using ECUTalk software if that helps? Not sure if that only can see engine codes? Is there any other software I could give a try? Or any way I can get a blink code?
    • I never touched it, it should have. I'll try to give it an adjust. With IACV plugged in, it idles at around 1120RPM on average. Max 1200 RPM, Minimum 1025RPM before it starts dropping right before stalling. Took the data from the Nistune logs.
    • Thats what im trying to solve bro  no one with aem tuner experience would advice  much appreciate
