Hi all, new to forums and new owner of a S13 w/ RB25DET swap- I have been searching and searching for a similar problem and cannot find it. Below is my issue, please let me know what everyone thinks!

car floods out at start, have to pull fuel pump fuse, crank it until it starts, flutter throttle until it runs out of gas, and quickly put fuse back in. idles great- no skips, ect. drives fine until you spool up turbo, then it skips and misses under boost like its starving for fuel- pulled plugs, carbon buildup around outside and chalky white centers-

had someone tell me it needs a complete new wiring harness built, but I cant get my head around that being the issue- also has air pressure in fuel tank when I removed cap-

let the theories fly- I want to see this cars real potential!

Yes, it floods all cylinders, washing out oil, changing it every 500 miles
