i am not getting fuel to the motor. it's an MSD fuel injection fuel pump. in line. do i need to prime it???

 

Yes.

Also, Remove the spark plugs, and let the engine spin too. That way Oil gets eveywhere within the engine - ESPECIALLY THE TURBO.

 

NICE, didnt think about that! ok, i hate priming!!!!! :'( anyone got a better idea how to do besides blowing air in the tank and making the gas flow back to the pump? hahahah

 

Top off your fuel tank and remove your engine side fuel line and funnel in some gas there. Might work.

 

ok, got fuel. but now i can't get the fuel pressure to go lower than 7psi???? i turned the motor over a bit too. this is just weird. i have the mallory 4309 rrfpr

 

ahhh HELP. if i can get this pressure down I CAN FIRE MY CAR UP! AHHHHHHHHHHHH i'm going crazy! WOOOOOOWOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

All this time spent on building your car, and it's the little qwerks that drive you insane. Don't worry man, we have way too many knowledegable people on this forum to not get you an answer.

 

yea iknow. i am having carb problems too. CARL!

 

Sooo true... I just got my beast running again, and let me tell ya, with any major change to the car there will be bugs to work out.

 

oh i know, it's just gotten progressively worse each step closer i got. and now i really dont understand why it won't crank. hahaha, float levels are good, fuel pressure is good, it's all getting spark. it sounds like its gonna fire up but won't i'm sure a good push start would solve this, but i really dont have an area to try that.

 

Are you still having probs with the fuel pressure? If so, check to MAKE SURE that you dont have the inlet and outlet on the FPR mixed up.

A couple days ago I couldnt get my pressure to go below 9psi. I got extremely mad but then found out that my FPR was hooked up backwards.

Sorry thats all i have to offer

 

Pull the plugs and de-flood it. Or push start it, either way.

 

yea it's been deflooding for atleast an hour now. Ryan; you can't really get the inlet/outlet wrong on the mallory 4309. you have 4 holes to do whatever you want with. we'll see how this goes in about another hour or so? haha

 

EDIT: argh, stupid wrong screenname

 

well ive never had a mallory so........

 

it fired up guys! WOOT! got a really bad exhaust leak where the flange spaces out the turbo. i dont know why either. it's all damn tight. car is psyhcoticly loud! thanks leak, :/ oh well, it cranks and idles. but has no throttle response, probably due to the major *** exhaust leak.

 

i have similar problem too with my mallory 4309 regulating the fuel from a mSD pump. The fuel pressure stayed at 8-9 PSI. I cant increase nor decrease the pressure. So Im sending it back to Summit.

For now, Im using my old holley FPR (1 in + 2 out). used one outlet as return. On the other, I installed a "T" to install a FP gauge.
