He said in his text to me this morning that both were in the tank. I have not looked in his tank, nor seen his car in years. So the "should" is more that I have not confirmed it, but he claims they are.

Base is only 55psi cus my regulator craps out at 110 or so and i was running 40psi

Gas is good now

Will check both pumps work. Each pump feeds one side of the rail so that should be easy

The fact that it is intermittent makes me think wiring

My fuel pump wiring is honestly well pretttyyyy damn jankky at the battery and probably got corroded or something or the battery cable terminator is not making a good connection pr something reallly stupid


what do yoh expect? That woild be a dispariging statement aboit faeflo but hey mts moderator murdered his prrfectly functioning builtmotor so i dont feel so bad

Its that or the fuel filter.


Another priblem tho is my NA alternator voltage goes to **** after a half hour of driving. Slowly goes down down down like dog on dick. I Suspect fucksed wiring for that issue too. Grounfs. Hotdog wire. One of those has an arfy barfy situation

Car is almost fast again but it is hard to make power with 15:1 afr at 18psi look you cant be nice to your pistons or else they get uppity and start geting needy

Also

I think i need to put a mostest reliable manifold on my car cus the tubular artech mani will surely crack again and i dont have time for car maintainence or eveen a garage no mo 😢😢😢

Im thinking an absurdflow style mani with one of those shitty peashooter turbos that doesnt hang 80lbs off the manifold. I really want vband cus studs are bullshit. someone sell or trade me your welfare power food stamp hotside. Turbo mani downpipe sucky fucky crap power fuckducky

why not just try to get the current absurdity running properly and at least beat his previous hp record of 375 or whatever it was?

When he moves to CA he won't have a garage or place to work on the car. His Artech manifold has cracked at least once already and he is afraid of it cracking again due to weight. The low mount absurdflow should stand up better to not cracking due to weight. He also wants to completely get away from using studs on the turbo.

Go v-band 7163 and allow us to finally found out what ALLOFIT on a 7163 is. Should spool similarly to a 6758 by all internet accounts.

I already have a v-band 6758 in house that he can get for much cheaper, and I need money for an oil pump.

hahaha I see where this is going.

larsy needs monayz and fairyflower needs a working setup.

though his problems thus far has not been as much about hardware, but rather how it's installed and treated

7670? what is this, a turbo for ants?

9180 OR GO HOME

4.9 BAR pressure ratio is when life starts to make sense
