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.

    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
    • Dang, those BBS are so nice! 
    • Yeah it is wild how much wider the Yokohama A050 in 255/40R17  vs Yokohama AD09 in 255/40R17 sits on the 17x9 +22 considering its even from the same brand and adjacent product family 
    • Would love to see some examples of WMI making the same as E85. Only thing I've ever found is this one.  Which suggests WMI is not worth much at all. 
    • And now the washer bottle looks like an orphan. You're going to have to spend money on a wrinkle black painted fabbed ally one of those. Oh, and the brake MC res. That won't look any good after you've gotten rid of the washer bottle. You going to need to go back to work to keep up with this?
