Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Was a lot of fun, the SS is a pig to skid...the benefits of a car up for track. Also she has started running really lean under load, anyone have suggestions on a cause? I suspect the fuel pump but don't know how to test it.

test voltage of fuel pump
I would mate. But no spare cash FTM and that would mean burn more money for 50kw. Not chasing more power anymore but focus on handling, reliability and response

Those turbos will be more responsive than your existing ones supposedly. 50 (or more) extra kW is just a bonus.

But yeah, cash monies are the problem. Would be 2k out of pocket in the end.

My car started running really lean for 1 dyno run yesterday, the tuner 1st thought dodgy fuel pump till I told him I bought it off him less than a year ago lol.

Turned out that a tiny vac hose going to the fuel pressure regulator had come off under boost. Anything like that on these engines?

If nothing simple like that, fuel pump and filter are next to look at.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
