project 12aturbo: = OVER
yea, i cant get the fuel pressure down because i'm sure i need a larger return line. i do not have the funds to fug with this right now or even for a while. ALSO, i tried cranking it over just for **** and giggles and i have leaks springing out everywhere. not gas, but oil and coolant. my energy and motivation right now are totally spent. this ******* SUX. i'm mostly talking out my *** right now because i'm just so mad. but i really can't do anything now. what would be the cheapest way for me to run a fuel return line atleast 1/2"?

Where are you leaking stuff from? That sounds serious.
As far as your return, I DOUBT that's it. Setzep
and Mike P-28 both run stock Returns on Fuel Injected vehicled without any problems.
Worse case scenario, you can cut the spring inside the FPR.
You do know you can adjust the pressure using the inner and outet nut right?

well, i have completely removd the spring all together. it's not even in there at all and it still won't go down. for some reason it actually did fall to around 5psi while cranking. but that's still too much. ARGULA.

Yeah, shutup kid.
Your return line is probably clogged then. The stock size is big enough, but since not much fuel is returned using the stock pump, the line can clog and you won't even notice it until you get a bigger pump.

did you pull the restricter one way valve out of the return line? it sounds like you need to get someone with some mechanical skills over there to help you!!!

ok well, i didn't have to pull any restrictor valve out. the fuel pressure is now fine. it was a simple mistake of me turning the acutal feed fitting in too much. i loosened it and now have control of psi. what more mechanical skill do i seriously need? i got all this **** on and it's all working fine now. the carb has a sticky float. i am just scared to open it up without talking to carl first. THAT IS ALL. if you don't want to help then don't respond. thanks.
edit: sorry rob. just sounded like you were attacking me.

This is all way over my head FB II, but I wanted to wish you good luck. Sounds like you have all the skill you need and then some. Maybe just a few more deep breaths once in a while to keep the frustration level down. I will be looking forward to seeing your final results! Hang in there, I'm sure it will all be well worth it.

i dont think carl and sterling would approve or reccomend doing that!!!
simply remove the carb top and check that the floats move up and down freely....simple
sometimes in shipping the floats get stuck, its no big deal
