To make a long story short, bought the car, found this problem, posted it a few times on here and only get a couple replies if any, and the people who replied think it may be the fuel pump, but i have not been able to get the money to replace anything on my car yet. I am posting this again to see if I can get a better response hopfully giving maybe that one more important detail that I may have no given in the past posts. If anyone would care to read this convo about the details of the problem between me and a friend below, to get a better idea, and try to solve this. Please do by all means try to solve this.


Elemental Wind X: i still dont have any money to replace and rewire my fuel pump, so i cant figure out why the heck my car loses all hp whenever i make hard turns
JB: both directioins or just one way
Elemental Wind X: both
JB: hmm i don't know
JB: i don't see why turning would effect it
Elemental Wind X: this dont matter how much gas i have
Elemental Wind X: i've done it on 15$ worth of gas in the tank
JB: well since the fuel system is pressurized i wouoldn't think that would have antthing to do with it
Elemental Wind X: true
Elemental Wind X: nobody can give me an answer :-(
JB: i don't know
Elemental Wind X: whenever i have no gas in my tank, and the dummy light is on. if i build boost it will do the same feeling, just going straight
Elemental Wind X: i think i build boost going around the turns too
JB: never heard of antthing like that
Elemental Wind X: did any of your turbos ever do that when u had no gas?
JB: no, i have had it feel like there was no power before, usually when it was real hot outside
Elemental Wind X: thats not it
Elemental Wind X: i've felt that too
JB: i don't know
Elemental Wind X: i wish i could get this datalogger setup and hopfully that would tell me somethin
JB: yeah
Elemental Wind X: watch it be like the beginning symptoms of crankwalk that nobody knew about
JB: thats what my first thought was, but that is only suposed to effect left turns from what i've read
Elemental Wind X: ditto


Thanks for anyone willing to try.
 
OMG im not reading that. whats your question.
 
The question is pretty much, why does my car lose all power whenever I make hard turns left or right. and the details to the question are in the conversation.
