Well I upgraded from the 255 pump to a Ford GT Walbro 310lph pump with a boost-a-pump. I plugged in the lap top and turned on DSMLink to test the new fuel pump and it works great. A little different tone then the 255's have. It should be good for at least 550whp if not 600.
I went to boost leak test and get everything sealed up and found that the o ring on the 50mm BOV needed replacing. Fixed that and then found another leak that pretty much ruined my day. My SMIC is f'ing cracked. I am now trying to find someone that is known for aluminum welding to fix the crack on Sunday (5/23) so I can get the rest of the car back together and finish leak testing the system.
I am now looking for a intake manifold gasket and a TB gasket. A heat barrier IM gasket would be nice but stock works. I have my appointment set for Tuesday afternoon with Shane at DB and really want to get it running by Sunday night so I dont have to reschedule my appointment. PM me if you have any of these gaskets and if you are an excellent tig welder with aluminum and can meet up tomorrow (5/23).
I am really wanting to get at least 500whp but I keep hearing that the SCM6152 wont flow it. I did send it in and have a BB center section installed instead of a journal so would that increase the possible numbers at all? It is that turbo on a 2.3 with 8.8 compression, e85, crower 414 cams and all of the rest of the goodies.
