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.

    • 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?
    • You're going to need all that and more to keep them from rubbing at the rear anyway, is my guess.
    • Looking at it now the battery clamp needs some love..  LOL One day, but not tomorrow, tomorrow I'm strictly a spectator, the only testing for me tomorrow will be on the coffee and food at the Cafe
    • I purchased some (used but new to me) Yokohama A050 Mediums to try out for the first time and fitted them up to one of my sets of Rays TE Fortesst's. Sizes are 235/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear. They are very chonky compared to the same sized AD09 on the same sized rim. Some fiddling will be needed to make them fit. How much camber do these like as a general rule? I imagine more than the rear camber of -1.5' I typically run. So my plan is to target -3.8 front and -2 rear
    • If you want to test it under temperature, I think you should enter the One Raceway day tomorrow with Duncan!
