is checking fuel pressure the best way to test if a walborough pump is working properly? or just safer to replace the whole thing?

Also chatting to previous owner last night (who is cautious, but also talks some absolute shit) and raised concerns about E85 on old fuel lines and seal (I have seen a document warning cars pre-2004 to steer clear of any ethanol blend because it eat through certian rubbers over time). He also mentioned E85 water/fuel separation if left stagnant in the tank for long periods of time... comments?

Please E85 propaganda experts, you're my only hope.

Fuel pressure combined with flow rate...

You can have a pump which can build up to 45psi over 2 seconds, and then a bung pump which can build up to 45psi over 10 seconds due to low flow rate... Only one of these is going to be able to keep up under high boost situations, do SR20's have a rising rate FPR?

We even for last night lol. But know you owe me twenty for actuator. But I owe you for muffler.

Where does it end!

Huh?

Why do I owe you for the actuator again?

I work on car for free then? Oh okay.

Hey everybody free repairs farken.

Im joking. I got one jd

This is not enough to cover an angry ass pregnant wife that thinks I'm having an a fair with scotty.

LOL @ an affair.

In that case... A slab of ze german beer.

Most of those documents regarding ethanol and old fuel lines are propaganda written by companies with a vested interested in keeping motorists using normal petrols or distributors being overly safe for liability reasons...

And we may spout pro-E85 propaganda, and then it becomes he says she says...

But the difference is, that the pro-E85 people actually have thousands of running vehicles from the early 90s to prove it's not an issue. Now show me all those explosions and fires and clapped out fuel systems from using E85 on pre-2004 vehicles :rofl:

E85 for 6 months and counting!

St Johns First Aid training course tomorrow

Sitting in a classroom with a bunch of other idiots all day... meh, still better than work.

Just remembered I need to memorise a 47 page pdf of pre-reading info before I get there, blergh.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
