Car is back home!









Not a whole lot to show really, its a fuel pump in the fuel tank lol.

So few notes...

Once MAP had all the extra fittings sorted out, the lowest fuel pressure they saw was 65psi at idle. This is with the return siphon drilled out, unsure how much but as much as possible without screwing shit up. They also drilled out the pressure relief on the hanger too.

One thing they didn't do was turn my feed line into the return. It's only 1/16th bigger anyway, but with the stock hanger it just wasn't happening.

So now I have the hard wired wally 400 e85 version in the tank with a 6AN feed line and new Fuel lab fuel filter.

MAP was able to get idle pressure down to 50psi (without vac, with vac was 43 or whatever) by drilling out the fpr insert. I didn't have the bigger one so they modded the one that was in there. Then problem solved...so far everything is good.

I did have a scare on the way home. I was barely able to shift into 3rd and 5th was ALMOST impossible to get into. So i immediately knew my shifter linkage was all goofed up somehow. At first I thought maybe MAP dropped something on it or some weird shit so I was like WTF. When I got home though I noticed the return line sank low enough to get in between everything. One zip tie and we are back in business now!

HOpefully get some logs and tuning in this weekend. With a new base fuel pressure I will need some work from Baka I think!

Planning on it!

Just gotta dial in the car this week, shouldn't be an issue. Even if I am only tuned on 24-25 psi again I'll still go.

Hmm evo vs liter bike. Hopefully see you at the slippery rock

[Murlo26]

Liter bike wins...badly

[goodhart]

Nice!

[93gtpeater]

It will be my first time at the track so anything can happen.

[Murlo26]

It will be my first time as well. I will be more than happy with mid 11's first time out by the end of the day.

Guess we will see.

Partial log from my 30 min cruise into work today, checking cruising trims...

The Cruise trim looks good, or what I assume is the cruise, looks like trying to add fuels at idle though, or what I am guessing is idle. I never know for sure as I log LTFT_Used for Jon.

Next up more idle logging, partial boost and maybe some WOT!



At least trims aren't maxed out, so they aren't too terrible...needs work to get back right though.

Glad you didn't spring a shifting problem suddenly! Looks good now tune it up and go have some fun!

I am already having fun

Did more logs today! Car is running great.

Did a partial WOT run, mostly watching AFR's...looked good!



Time to turn the wick up, see what one wally 400 can do.

Oh, biggest thing! I went up to 15psi or so at near empty (maybe an 1/8th of a tank), I had fuel! yay...new fuel system so far so good.

[Murlo26]

Few full logs...



Upping boost now.

[scheides]

Sweet! Hope it will do 600+!

[turbotalon1g]

hot diggity

[Murlo26]

Da fuck?

Apparently my car felt like starting to spool sooner...3800rpms?



Jon, what are you doing to me?

[Murlo26]

So Jon said there was an alt map with more boost...tried it out! Surged badly when i went WOT at 2.5k, so rolled into and this happened.

[93gtpeater]

Dam you rev that bitch out. Looks like you need to do some fine tuning. so 10s this saturday?

[Murlo26]

I'll be happy with 11s! It's my first time.

[scheides]

Starting to look like my ef4 vdrs maybe its the cooler ambient temps helping with spool-up?

[93gtpeater]

Hope you make it saturday.
