well i learned something valuable today
guess who installed spark plugs without taking into account boost? yup u guessed it, did spark plugs and as soon as i started driving and got any boost started getting blow out....fml i thought doing spark plugs was bad enough then i had to do it allllllll over and gap them smaller, epic fail.
|
Could have been worse!
|
Haha dont worry, we did the same thing on my buddies turbo mustang! Live and learn, thats all.
|
well we will see what else im going to learn right now trying to figure out if im having power loss from 5500 to 6000 rpms. havent brought it up that high in a while trying to feel if its been like that or its actually something else.... needless to say i bought my car with a lot of work needing to be done and i have been throwing parts at it left and right lol
|
probably going to goto slowhawk for a tune as well.. i am not 100% sure that it has been done correctly
|
What car and mods
|
well fuel filter is clogged that may have something to do with it
car is a 99 SS, ls1 cam heads full exhaust vortech supercharged (boosted to 6psi), chromoly pushrods. the last kid who owned it just beat on it and i knew what iw as getting into before i started this project.. just going a lot slower now since buisness has picked up for the summer |
hence the MWC 9" i have sitting in my garage right now... waiting to be put in since what i have now is barely functional lol
|
Cool and first check fp second have a professional like Don check or retune it before it melts a piston.

ill be calling him soon, really havent run the car that much just a few runs a month to make sure the work i am doing on it is ok..... its still in project stages really more than driving stages at this point
|
Fuel pressure will tell you if it was the filter or not. Or if it's even the pump or line
|
yeah the filter was bad fuel pump im going to do anyway just because i rather not have to do it later when its inconvenient.... honestly im going from rear bumper forward on this car.... essentially replacing everything.....oh well in a couple years it will be really nice
|
do the floor mod for the fuel pump. running FI and needing High fuel demands you might be in there alot. good idea just to cut the "fuel pump door" haha Good Luck With It!!!!
|
Door mod FTW!!!! Saved my ass a lot of trouble.
|
car is at don's now.... multiple issues have arisen and honestly working 7 days a week isnt allowing much free time to work on the car without a severe amount of sleep depreivation...
|
Good choice! Seen the car while i was up there picking up our vert. Nice car man.
|
thank u its definately a work in progress but it will be nice someday!
