yeah, def. im not gonna drive it to much. i stayed in the low 11 range but with needing that much fuel???i got about 2 days left before its put away for the winter( snows comin). i think its leaking at the manifold. would this be the cause of running so lean?

 

If you're leaking fuel..please do not drive it untill fixed.

 

no fuel leak. i checked the secondaries and no smell of gas. sorry i meant exhaust

 

+20 over 5K rpm with 720 secondaries is indicating somethings wrong.

 

yeah, somthun is def. wrong. clogged fuel filter?

 

so heres a list im thinkin what could be wrong:
1. new fuel filter
2. clean the 720's
3???
what else can check for?

 

Adaquate fuel pressure?

 

i was thinkin today... maybe its the fuel pressure regulator??? any thoughts??? i so need a guage!is this my first buy?? aftermarket fpr and guage? it did act a little strange before the turbo swap. maybe the ecu grounds???? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

 

Troubleshooting is not the same as random guessing. You need to approach this logically.

First start with all the systems you touched. Make sure things are plugged in, sealed, etc.

Since you have verified that you have fuel, spark and compression, then look for other common causes.

Leaking injectors?
Fuel pressure (check with aftermarket gauge)?
Fouled plugs?

 

FPR even have the vacuum line ran to it?

 

Nice to see more people trying this out. I used the Tii manifolds on mine with the whole Tii drivetrain and cpu and sensors. The only thing was that the engine was weak so it blew since I had a 3in downpipe running right of the turbo for the exhaust and that was it.

 

yep

 

Just checking, lol. I would suspect first vacuum leaks, those bitches always create trouble, after that I'd start by checking everything already listed above.

 

i thank ya sir!!

 

ok well, i got some staring fluid from the basement, fired it up, let it warm up and sprayed the **** out of the vaccum lines while it idled. nothin. i got winter to ponder so i guess ill get new plugs anywho... should i get tII plugs?? probably i guess. um ill get new fuel filter since i personally never changed since i owned this car (1 year) and go from there, oh and get the damn exhaust fixed! its still outa tune. runs rich from 3,000 or so till around 5,000 then she drops... strange. from 3 to 5 its still in the HIGH 9's to low 10's so its in need of minor tuning and the damn gasket from spacer to manifold is leaking out of the corner. boy i bet i missing tons of boost...... maybe thats a good thing... for now.

 

They use the same plugs. What fuel pump are you using?

 

used fd
