Evo X upgrades

Did a couple pulls this morning and I'm not getting much more than 50psi out of the Bosch. It was running 70+ without an issue at the track on Monday.

I guess the simplest test would be to hot-wire the pump tonight, long enough for a test drive. If it works fine then I'll remove all of Full Blown's wiring work and re-do it. It'd be better to use larger gauge wiring with the BAP in the mix, anyway.

If my fuel system holds up the Evo Gods must have forgiven me, lol.

I can't believe its still giving you problems.

Yeah, well. The NAV is totally dead now as well. The only reason that's annoying is that the MMCS sets its clock using GPS and provides no other way to do so. I'll look into that at some point but it never rises high enough on the to-do list.

Hot wiring direct to battery appears to have solved the issue with the Bosch--something is wrong with the relay circuit that Full Blown put in. My guess is the ground...they used the ground on the in-tank hanger and I've been suspicious of it for a while.

I'm just going to wire in a new relay tonight using 10ga to the battery & ground.

Sweet man! Progress, I am glad you are figuring more shit out. You will soon be the Evo X fuel master!

Slow and steady is how I progress at everything in life. I envy people that have natural talent for things but that's not me. If something captures my interest for long enough, I tend to pass those people by. Time will tell if this hobby is one of those. The fascination has lasted longer than I expected.

I heard slow and steady wins the race ;)

Looks like the relay re-wire solved that issue. Now I just need to get an appointment with Shane to check it out. He's obviously pretty busy `cause he didn't reply to my email today.

Go up there, I just got back two mins ago, him and Danny and Alex are still there. They are prepping for this weekend :) Shane will be there all night, he has to put his motor in his wife's 1G that they plan to race this weekend.
