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.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
