Re: Project Winter Beater

So after another week of thinking and tinkering on it... I think I've fixed it. It still leans out up top but that's because I have the stock pump in there still. But it pulls like it should for 12 psi. What fixed it was a new fuel filter and putting some injector cleaner in with about 3/8 tank. When I took the filter off straight dirt was coming out. Pretty nasty actually. I should've paid more attention when twack said the tank is pretty dirty...

Before, I'd have to set the translator box to around 480's to even drive the car anywhere. After driving it around with the cleaner in the tank, I started noticing it running smoother. So I messed with the base adjustment knob on the maf-t and it's been running fine set to 560's again. I went on a 20 min cruise last night on some dirt back roads and can say it seems to be back up to where it should be. I could tell the difference through the day. I tried doing some 2nd gear donuts in a parking lot and it just bogged, no power. I tried it later in the day and it was not a problem, just ripped the lot up in 2nd. hahaha

I plan to swap the evo9 pump back in this week and then I should be good to go with a fresh tank of 93 octane.
