Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Sounds like what happened to my car when a spark plug broke. Was running fine, started it back up and it was idling like shit and threw a misfire code. Yanked the plugs and found 1 of the 4 to be broken.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Car fixed!
Here is the plug from #4.
No idea honestly why it was causing issues, it looks fine. But we swapped the 4 spark plug before anything else and bam, problem solved. Threw in one of my older plugs and she runs great again. Also, we made sure they were all gapped at .022", so we are good there.
I came back and do have a leak somewhere in my fuel assembly, maybe part of the fuel pickup problem? Don't know. There was a small patch of gas that I think came from when I prime the lines before starting, I always turn the key with the clutch out and I am guessing one of the lines out of the tank, maybe around my check valve is leaking. We pulled the fuel pump assembly too and looked at all that, and it looks good. Made a few adjustments and tightened everything down.
Bottom line, car runs all pretty again! Yay. Now my new OEM fuel pump hanger will be here soon and then I am on to moving back to a single pump. Game on.
Thanks a ton again Shawn (simulatedwood), you da man.

I am just glad this was easy, last thing we need is Dave selling the Evo at a fire sale price.

I'll always take the help of anyone, especially a car guy.
X2 on the fire sale, that would blow.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Turn the spark plug upside down. Does the insulator fall over the electrode?

Negative ghost rider. The "bad" plug appears to be fine looking at it, strange deal.

Glad it was something simple this time, Dave.
Looking forward to some T and C on the fall cruise!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Was a bit of miscommunication last week, but I did drop the car off last Monday.
The "new" OEM hangar with wally 400 is installed but they are waiting on some fittings to finish the job right now. Tracking says Wednesday for the fittings so hopefully I can pick the evo up Wed night after work, worst case Thursday I guess. As long as I have it this weekend I am happy, but I need to get back to logging more and re-tuning with Drenas.
Next on the list we are doing some knock sensor learning stuff. My stuff was all pretty stock, the knock tables and separation between low/high octane timing maps.
Need to get ready for the cruise with more boost.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Why did you get the 400 over the new 450 (which I thought was specially designed for e85 and has a bit more flow)?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I got the one that is for e85, which sure might be called the 450.
From what Chris said it flows a bit more than the 400, I didn't know it was called a 450 though.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
It is the e85 safe pump. However I do not think they are rated for more flow.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
The flow chart that Walbro put out looked like about 10% more, not a lot but still something. At 70psi, 400 flows 316lph and the 450 flows 355lph.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
E85 version
Regular:
So yes, small gains in flow apparently.
