Scotty I expect pix on that build thread.........

hahaha I've gotta play the waiting game for all this stuff to arrive Ants. Hopefully i will have Turbo, Manifold & Wastegate in my hands by Friday.

I ended up going with the 6466 Dual Ball Bearing with a .84 rear. Here is a Dyno graph that was posted in the Percision thread. This is from an SR22 stroker Impressive!!

bloody hell........that crazy hp

so I decided to call Sean...........

good news - car has been on the dyno for tune and went really well

bad news - car started to run really lean i.e. not enough fuel supply......................fcuk!

As soon as Sean noticed that he pulled the pin on the tuning (as you do)

He thinks that the following may be causing the problem (he has not had a chance to really look into it since)

1.fuel line may not be picking up fuel correclty to fuel pump or may not be tight enough

2. fuel pump may not be placed in the optimum spot to pick up fuel

3. fuel gauge maybe be inaccurate (highly unlikely)

anyways.......................therefore my saga continues............................ really depressed with all theses gremlins slowly cuting me up into a gizzillion peices >_<

You just got a new fuel pump did you not? that issue suggest to me an incorrect install somewhere, weather it be in the wiring or the physical position of the pump. Be glad he picked it up, a lot of people tune around it then you really get a gremlin....inside your engine hitting the top of the piston with a big hammer!

thats exactly what Sean said. It was going so well he was going to tune around but knew this was an issue to address now.

He even called Gav (would olf loved to hear that convo) to ask WTF going on???

Hopefully its just an easy fix like relocating the fuel pump

I think it will be an easy fix and as Bunta suggested appears to be a shit install of fuel pump :verymad:

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
