New fuel pump Installed, AEM 340. Car is back to running again!!!!! Having the ability to drive a big turbo UrS4 on Vems with AC on and do multiple back to back WOT pulls...makes me smile.

New more refined tune is coming, will keep this up to date.

I just drilled a hole and then ran a tap through. Used an ORB fitting

morris400

I've tracked down a few other issues. I'm thinking the voltage drop was due to the pump cutting out and the cars RPM dropping. The battery relocation was good...might have been not 100% needed but was wanted. I re wired the FP relay harness and have got a jump in fuel pressure back to 60-61 at idle ...

morris400

Suffering so weird power issues of late. Last few times out, the car has started dying on me. It always restarts.. sometimes quicker then others. But it's frustrating. I decided to relocated the battery. Hopfully it solves some issuesN if not I'll be looking at the fuel pump as it seems when I lose ...

Snow performance with solenoid upgrade and VC50 controller. The throttle body spacer is from Isssm.

Got a new catch can setup and PCV delete. Going to redo some intercooler piping soon just to clean it up a bit.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. No big changes for the car yet...next summer I'm doing some more tuning and get it all running well. Just need to dial in the boost.

Just before winter, I was able to get the car up to 23 psi andn7200 rpm WOT with a perfect .81-.80 lambda. Rhe WGDV is still a ...

morris400

We're getting close, got the boost up to 19psi now and holding. Lambda is solid at .81. I'd say it's probably about 85% GTG. I've got 1500km on it now. Car is on the stock WG spring and at 95% WGDC it's making out at 19ish psi. Next summer I'll get the 1.9 spring in, and get tuning meth.

I changed ...

I wish it was that simple honestly, the shop and tuner had my car for 3 weeks and they just could not figure out the AAN and Vems. It was unfortunate. The logs i have from his Dyno session and the 1 street tune session were not in the least comforting. Lots of potential issues that could cause ...

Marc been a gem. Hopfully i can get some more time to fiddle with the tune tomorrow, we will see.

morris400

Well...it would not be a build by me if every step of the way was not filled with failure and struggle. With alot of help from Marc, Chris, Issam, Neacali, and others the car is running and just needs a few other things sorted lile idle and a few small things before i look at meth still.

Ive again ...

morris400

We got a little held up. Car made it to the tuner on Wed last week. After a quick exhaust fix ( downpipe needed connected to the back half) and a boost leak test, they found alot of leaks.

- intercooler hoses,
- bead rolled the pipes
- bad N75
- SS injector seats not sealing 100%.

After all ...

Nice, are you planning on using the meth to make more power or just help manage IAT?

I buddy. I'm hoping so. need to address the coolant leak on the freeze plug nipple, then it should be smooth sailing. should get a bit of time in June/July to get the tune situated.

morris400

**UPDATE APR 10th**

The Car does start, which is good. The Tune I have is running a lot more rich then expected, so the car will Idle but not run well. Marc is working with me to get it all sorted out which is great. the car does have a small coolant leak off the nipple on the side of the block for ...

morris400

Good news...the leak has gone away. Looks like were set for start up tomorrow.

morris400

Looking good! Getting close.

Was really close...went to load the tune in Vems today but noticed a small pool of coolant under the car. No worries...figures it was a clamp loose or something... my bad luck turned out to be the water pump Oring that was ...
