Install Walboro Fuel pump
Hey all, yesterday I installed the walboro fuel pump...I had an universal harness but after looking it isn['t needed right? the wiring harness clipped right in. Well the reason I asked is cause now the car won't start, I hear the pump on the initial turn of the key.
My issue is the pick up tube with the sock on it...seemed kinda loose when I put it back on with the retainer clip. My FPR is only reading 20-30 psi no matter how much I open it up.
Should I get a new tube with retainer clip? I'm wondering if I flooded it when trying to crank it back up...I had a dead battery as well so trying to start her from a jump start.

Yeah I used the stock sock, just swapped the pump. I'm going to try and crank it this evening, if it doesn't crank I guess I'll pull the plugs and see if they are soaked. I had it running right before I swapped the pump..

Got home yesterday and she fired right up...I flooded her. The FPR was reading over 80psi...
The reason for the pump is cause I'm going turbo. Just a step towards it. Either at the end of the month the car is going to a local exhaust shop or I'm buying the piping from t6378tp.
The only thing I have left to buy is the oil cooler and oil and coolant lines for the turbo..and a sandwich plate.
I'll be hopefully installing the EMU this weekend coming up. I was suppose to do it Monday but when the car wouldn't start from the fuel pump I didn't want to add anything else until I could figure that issue out.

When you said 20-30psi no matter what, it didn't sound good.
Where did the 80psi come from all the sudden? Lol

When it read such low psi I cranked the adjustable nut down to see if there was a difference at all...guessing when she fired up that's how far I opened it up.

Do yourself a favor and get Nistune instead of EMU. Its much more stable and its plug and play, no wiring needed. You will need a 95 96 ECU to run Nistune though.
I wired my EMU myself and it was a nightmare, just a tough spot to work in. I had to wire everything back to stock when I switched to Nistune.. just painful...
For a sandwich plate check out the Mishimoto sandwich plate adaptor and cooler kit. Comes with everything you need.

I also transferred all the items from the stock fuel pump to the Walboro pump. Tips from the Wiz, you will now be able to read the correct last level of fuel preventing a false reading

I went with EMU for two step and the ability to tune myself and not have to send off my ECU. I already have the 96 ECU in my car and my wiring harness for the EMU is already marked with what wire goes with what.just a matter now of cutting and splicing. I'm dreading the tight spot tbh but I'm in no rush.
I'll look into that oil cooler and sandwich plate.
I've had all these parts for over a year just been lazy and not installing them.

Man that wiring is painful lol get yourself a good soldering iron... Remove the passenger side seat for more room. OHHH.. check out Boomslang, I believe they can make a plug and play harness for EMU but its about 300 bucks. Maxstreets had one.. PM him if you want to go that route.
Yes Sir and I doubt there will ever be any 2 step from Nistune. Mat already mentioned there would have to be a high interest in order to invest the time for setting that up for A32.
Most people say its pretty easy to tune Nistune yourself. But dynotune is the best way to go.

Hopefully from there you can smooth out your idle and tune.
