    hell froze over

    I finally got my fuel pump installed (after about 2 years) and I hope to have it tuned for 20psi by Friday at the Club Clash.

    Next up will be injectors.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    We could have done it in about a couple of hours but with dicking around,alot of breaks and making sure we did it right the first time it took about 4 hours.

    My friend Aaron (who is in the process of building a rally DSM) came over and did a really nice wire job on the fuel pump and relay,I did the up front by the battery stuff and running the wire from the front to the back. Also thanks to Pat (newt2) for contributing his electrical knowledge to us so we didn't blow anything up.

    I'm running 19psi right now and I've gotten good results on the logger so I'm gonna puch another psi or maybe two. The car definetly has some more pick up above 5000rpm on up with 19psi.

    Umm, can your stock injectors handle that? 20+ psi? I can tell you my fuel pump is not holding my car back, the stock injectors are...

    Just wondering. Besides, I wouldn't want you to get too happy with the boost, you might get quicker than 13.466...

    Ahh....Paul's a good guy, he won't mind

    I was using the stock pump, but I recently did some research on used pumps I pulled from the U-pull-its, and have found a better Bosch pump to use - it flows 50% more fuel than the 280ZXT pump at 60psi (145 l/hr vs. 90l/hr). I'd tell you what vehicle it came from, but then I'd have to kill you (I'm selling these pumps, $75, and I'm protecting my trade secret )

    I don't really think I'll push more than 20psi,I might just hold at 19 and see how it does.
