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.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
