Not Quite Right?

[nemz]

i jus installed an fmic and a boost controller, my car i an r32 gtst, with rb20det, standard injectors and pump, done 89,000 km's and the engine has been perfect for me besides having to change my fuel filter, but something strange is happening now since i put in my boost controller, was running fine on 12psi before it put it in, and with only and extra 1/2 psi it startes to wind slowly, then it clicks and then the power punches in, some times it feels like its not getting enough fuel too, jus wandering whether my pump cant handle the power or if its just out of tune, i plan on puttin in a walkbro pump asap, any other idea's?

Could be.. Throw it on a dyno for a cheap power run.

Power runs I've found to vary from $35 right up to $80 odd.

What sort of boost controller?

Drop the boost back to 12psi and see if the car runs as it used to. If not then try removing the controller temporarily and see if it runs properly.

Just a couple of ideas before you spend the cash on a dyno run.

its the boost controller in one of the threads for $35 on special for sau peeps

Is it spiking? It could be spiking causing a lean condition, resulting in the flat then kick feeling.

Thats if I've interpereted your post correctly.

EDIT: I still suspect the std pump is on its last legs. Being 10+yrs old and all.

At around 80,000km's my std pump was right on the limit at 12psi.

If you can find a cheap $35 power run then do it.. I wouldn't be spending $80 on a simple 1 minute power run.

That $80 can be better spent on a new pump, as after all... if you are like the majority, we all get the bug, end up dialing more boost, ecu, injectors turbo.. Money permitting of coarse.

I've managed almost 10k worth of mods in the last 2.5years while I've been studying full time at Uni.

6k was spent silly as I didn't 'really' need the rb30det as the rb20det was perfectly fine. lol

^^ Cubes: are you saying you REGRET doing the RB30DET!?

[Cubes]

No regrets..

Its an awesome motor for the street.

Not buying a GTS4 is my biggest regret, At the time I thought, no need for 4wd + its extra weight, I only want ~200rwkw. lol
