Nice! glad it was just something dumb and cheap!

[scheides]

Nice! Glad it was simple.

New hangar came today, going to try and get it in this week with new fuel setup.

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!

[timschot]

Sweet. Good luck w/ the new lines.

Wally 400 with new lines install is scheduled for this Monday! Thank you property tax return

So hopefully I will have some testing results next weekend, its my best friends wedding so I will be either drinking or hung over so it probably won't be for another few days after that but we will see

[Murlo26]

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.

Why did you get the 400 over the new 450 (which I thought was specially designed for e85 and has a bit more flow)?

[munchgsx]

It is the e85 safe pump. However I do not think they are rated for more flow.

[Murlo26]

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.

[asshanson]

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.

E85 version

So yes, small gains in flow apparently.

[asshanson]

Ha, you beat me to it. I was trying to find those charts.

[Murlo26]

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.

[93gtpeater]

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

[Murlo26]

Liter bike wins...badly
