Hey ppl

I put new turbo in my car ITS brand and front mount, and went to test drive the car and car just shudders and goes nowhere as soon as it boosts over 3000 rpm, mind everything is standard apart from catback exhaust and pod filter...guy at workshop that fitted turbo says fuel pump cant cope with the power turbo makes. For reference this turbo made 320hp at wheels on 10psi, 360rwhp at 15 psi and 410hp at 18psi and on my car its set at 13psi and thats set by wastegate...so my question is does this above happen when fuel pump cant cope, and which fuel pump should i get for 350hp at wheels and are warlbro pumps any good...by the way im putting new clutch today (9 button ceramic extreeme brand), getting batmbl split front pipe and cat on monday and getting it tuned next week with wolf 3d plug and play computer so any thoughts are welcome...

regards

Goran

Problems in order as i read them.

1) Your running a bigger turbo with stock dump,need the bigger one fitted.

2) Your running a stock ECU and 13psi from a bigger turbo? Major problem

3) your running stock injectors, you'll be on the limit of thier usefulness and will need to upgrade IMO

4) You will also need a bigger fuel pump, walbro's are junk

put all your bits on, get a fuel pump then see how its all performing then.

You have too many things that you will address, and need to before a better answer can be given.

Why are Walbro's junk ? Less than claimed output, or longevity etc ??

on my car we were using it and around 250rwkw it the AFR's werent looking so good.

We then decided just to use the walbro as a lift pump and then use a Bosch pump with the surge tank.

At time of installation of the surge the walbro was checked to make sure it hadnt moved in the tank and it was fine.

Had upgraded power etc.

Back onto dyno... surprise surprise. AFR's totally different = rich as. I wasnt impressed thats for sure and im not the only person.

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
    • It sounds farrrrrrr too cold at your place Duncan... Here I was thinking our 10 degrees overnight is getting cold...
