But you guys are internet racers, you have to at least have a chance on paper to be happy.

Haha. Hope it makes it to pg this year.

So, battling fuel pressure problems right now. My AEM is adjusted for max fuel pressure and it won't go above 42ish at idle.

So as I believe Shane suspected, the car appears to be bleeding fuel back through the second pump. Doing some testing now, but might be getting a check valve for the second pump soon.

Need to bump fuel pressure so we can reduce load as I was hitting 330load and boost cut (319 load) on pump gas at like 24psi.

So we are making it so the load is hopefully 270ish around there by changing around a lot of stuff. (injector scaling, MAF/MAp tables etc)

Not going to lie, I doubt I am going to PG. Especially since work is really crazy. I am kinda bummed but frankly I don't want to go until the car is working fully. I will head out to RF or BIR at a test and tune day when its done if I don't make it.

Still going to try and make it but not looking good now.

You have 8 days left, that's plenty of time.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I am going to make you a liar! Your coming to PG, that thing is going down the track if we have to push it!

Plus..Don't think of the PG as just a event, think of it as a 3-day Mitsustyle cruise, with lots of nightly festivities, and driving with a hangover. 2 things we are good at. ;)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I'll help with the pushing!

Seriously, you need to just force yourself to have realistic goals, then focus on having fun, even if it's not at 10/10ths level.

Heck, I only managed to get about 60% of the things I wanted to do done on my heap before the PG, but that's not going to stop me from enjoying what a brought to the fullest!

Having slightly reduced fun > no fun.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Don't be like Chkmgnt...constant work in progress, then once it's finally done get fed-up and sell it. That's what happens when you don't stop and actually allow yourself to enjoy the car while it's in process.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

LOL! It's so true.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

It might be just as easy as getting a check valve for the 2nd pump...but I need to pull the pump out sometime to look at it to get an appropriate one.

I am trying to make it, I have been working on it tons lately, like every night for weeks. But I am starting to run out of steam a bit and work is getting really bad. But we shall see, I could always just run pump gas there instead of e85 just to make it there.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Do it!

Working on cars is no fun when you're allready stressed and rundown... that's how mistakes get made.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Just run it at lower power, like 350-400, and run the road course instead.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Hmmm, interesting...I wouldn't mind doing that. But I still need to get my fuel pressure stuff sorted, then its just tuning.

The car/tune is all jacked up as it was looking for a higher base pressure so I need to do that first.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

It's so crazy how much time and money you've put into this car and it still has issues..

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

What sort of check valve are you going to use? I have a -6 in/out one way fuel valve that I used on the V when I was having issues with the siphon letting fuel back into the tank.

Looks something like this but a little bigger:

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Not sure yet, I need to pull the backseat and do some measuring. The two pumps meet at a Y outside the tank, so I am thinking of replacing part of the hose with a check valve.

The size I haven't figured out yet.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Oh nice, if you have enough room outside the tank that would be a lot easier than trying to fit the check valve inside the tank.

Is the Y fitting AN or barbed?
