I'm having really poor acceleration when I have less than a quarter tank of gas in the car. I'm running a Walbro fuel pump with stock turbo and fuel on a S13 SR20. Has anyone ever dealt with anything like this?

Maybe look into replacing the Walbro pump with the more reliable Denso Sard one.....I remember seeing the thread about this and if I remember it correctly, the consenus was to not let your gas go below a 1/4 when running the walbro. Not sure why exactly walbro's have this problem.

Found the answer! I'm running an S13 pump kit on an S14. This places the fuel pickup sock in the wrong direction. I've found a site that offers a kit to correct this and I'm ordering it today.
