rather frustrated and defeated. all this work, new fuel pumps etc. car suddenly decides it wants to go lean. on motor and on spray. rental today was a bust. financially i think im done for the season.

first pass motor car just felt shitty, figured oh its cold and humid and the plugs are fouled. second pass on motor went 12.55. wtf. check fuel pressure etc everything's fine. third pass sprayed it. on 200. car went 11.0

WTF

pull trap door check this and that nothings pinched etc. decided to try 1 thing, hooked the old bosch external up. so that was feeding into the main line like old times. car went 10.55 on 200, still walked lean, but not nearly as bad. so either somehow the fuel filter is now clogged, the in-tank sock is clogged, or the 6 week old racetronix is dying already.

atleast it looks fast

You're still running the factory pcm, right? Have you locking the wot blms?

Also, do you think you could log fuel pressure?

i cant log fuel pressure. but i found the issue. the injectors i just put in are plugged due to a failed russell fuel filter element. the epoxy that holds the end cap on failed, became goo, and went to the injectors. fml. thats the OUTLET side of the filter. ugh I just put this element and injectors in when i did the pump, in august

I was gonna ask about the injectors when I read this earlier as maybe clogged or just not flowing right (I've heard injectors even brand new can be hit or miss). Glad you found it out but damn that sucks as to why.

[SSlowBoat]

yeah, it sucks. but im calming down now. because i knew i was going crazy. it literally ran fine on the street on nitrous a week ago!

some cool pics from today. im packing it in for the year. just found the axle seal leaking worse on the driver side.

im gonna flush the system tomorrow just to get a good vid of my new muffler, then proceed to pull the intake and start the single plane swap. i gotta call strange for the axle seal

Double check your solenoid & lines coming off them that no gunk made it to those (I'm not super versed in nitrous so ignore me if that isn't applicable, I'm assuming it's a wet system, I'm too lazy to review)

i have a dedicated separate nitrous fuel system. pics up above somewhere. it is what it is. as long as the motor comp/leakdown tests ok ill keep going. gotta finish porting the intake too
