I am really liking them. Its just starting to get warm out, and when I've been racing its been only in the mid 40's late at night and even then they hook pretty well. When its 60-70* out they spin 2nd but pull really hard while trying to catch traction. Lots of forward motion during the spinning!

 

good to hear.

 

Y you no post dyno results?!

 

Give me a break!

On 23 lbs and only running to 7300 (maf is maxed, have my mini AFC here now) she made 501whp and still climbing! Check out my thread.

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/dyno...enture-309411/

The graph Tried raising boost to 25psi and told him to let out around 6500 just so I could see what gains to expect and it looked like it was making about 30 whp more. Even on 23 lbs if I could take it to 8k it looks like I'd gain another 15-20whp. Next time I'll be ready and shoot for 600!



And then after the dyno

 

There it is

 

We need a current engine bay shot!!! Also, don't you have a hallman mbc with an in cabin controller or whatever it is?

 

Engine bay is ugly as **** Manifold is sanded and CP is still red and intake is unpainted. Soon though!

And yes I have the hallman in cabin controller.

 

Ok guy, I see you! Thats awesome!

 

 

kick ass

 

Nice, i saw your car there but didnt stay that long to see it dyno

Thanks guys! I'm going to put the AFC in tomorrow and start playing with the car since its my day off and is supposed to be nice out.

Which car was yours? Sorry if I met you and didn't put a face to the name, there were so many forum members there!

 

I didnt had a car there, was there for the show, originally was going there to look at and possibly buy paintballers car, but he has problems getting it running so i told him i was gonna hold off for now

Oh got ya. Yeah we worked on his car the whole week before and still can't figure it out. Hopefully soon because its getting tiring!

 

Any luck fixing the fuel pressure issue?

 

Dropped the tank and wired the pumps separately, and that wasn't the issue. Meanwhile keep in mind that when I came close to maxing my injectors on low base pressure, I had jacked the pressure up to the 60-65psi range because I was running out of time before the dyno day trip. Car was seeing stupid high IDC's (WELL over 100%), and they would climb normally into the 60% range then shoot up to over 100 instantly, and that's when I decided I was losing fuel pressure and the injectors were trying to compensate by going static. So in typical Taylor fashion I rigged something up. I have a little keychain camera that I fastened to my oil cap to watch my fuel pressure gauge on my regulator, and hooked a little flashlight to my feed line to light things up. Found out that under boost the pressure would climb to 80 psi and hold for a second then tank to 40 psi in the high rpms. Ended up doing some reading and the AEM pump has a pressure relief valve that opens at 80 psi and apparently just drops hard after that. I dropped the base pressure down to 45 psi again and am re-dialing things in. Seeing low 90's % IDC on 23 psi, but getting fuel to redline now. Need to get it running solid then start turning fuel pressure up slowly

 

Even though it sounds like you have it figured out, if you ever want to log fuel pressure in HPT...

Really helped me diagnose some E85 issues I was having with fuel pumps (black goo).

 

Hey thanks man, that's a handy little trick.

 

Finally got my AFC working late last night! Everything is back under control. Time to start having some fun!!

Also, I may punch the pressure relief valve in on the AEM pump like guys do with the Walbro 255's. I couldn't find anyone who has done it with the AEM in my quick search, but it should work the same. Not like I plan to jack the pressure wayyyy up, but I want it to hold up when I want it to.

 

Only thing I'm curious about is the instructions say very important that that port isn't blocked. Naturally. Wondering if walbro instructions say the same?

 

The port wont be blocked, but the seat will be pushed in so the spring pressure is much higher. Walbro advises against doing the mod as well If I crap out a pump after a while I think it will still be worth the experiment, but guys have been doin it on the 255 for years. Shops even sell a "high pressure" 255, which is the same pump but with the mod done.

 

Good to hear man. I like the info on logging fuel pressure. Cool trick.

Good luck Taylor. Hoping she keeps feed turned up on long pulls

 

Suppose I can update this. The cause of all my fueling issues was a bad AEM pump it seems. It wasn't holding pressure at all under load, and would drop to under 40 psi during any kind of WOT pull. It would climb to about 55-60 then just tank and release all pressure. I dropped the tank last week and put a Walbro 450 in and all my issues are solved! I have fuel all the way to 8k now and have ran up to 27 lbs without maxing anything out yet! It's on 25 lbs right now, but I may dial it in up to 30 psi to make sure its solid one of these nights.

 

30?? gonna be so beast on coke and meth

 

Even on 25 as it sits (~550whp) I put a couple bus lengths on a 569whp terminator this weekend. I'll post the video soon! Dude was super cool.
