Still Lean after secondary turbo opens up.
Still Lean after secondary turbo opens up.
Ok , At first when my car started running I kept it at low boost . and I didnt have any fuel issues .
as I played with the power FC , turned up the boost to 12 psi . 100% injector duty .
it was in the 10 a/f all the way through the power band .
then one night I noticed it started to lean out.. I checked my power FC 100 % injector duty . I increased the fuel and tried again and same condition after secondary turbo opens up it starts to lean out . after 6k rpms its in the 13's
so I started by replacing the injectors With
1300's thinking 100% duty for to long I must of broken something , But I got the same conditions ..
after secondary turbo opened up same deal. increased fuel but no difference .
so I tried my filter , Same deal ..
I tried replacing my fuel Pump with a sard 280 .. Same thing after secondary turbo opens up the car just starts to lean out .
I'm at a loss right now as to what this could be... if hte fuel pulsation dampner goes bad does the fuel pressure regulator go bad to? or is the ammount of fuel at the over 12 psi tomuch for the stock fuel pressure regulator ?

Your profile says stock pfc tune with minor adjustments. If you want help on this site, you dont get to be an ***. Keep that up and no one will help you.
Time for an apology.

the wideband is fine I got it double checked whne I took the car to a dyno after I put the new injectors in thinking hte problem would be solved but
the dyno read the same as my wideband it starts to lean out after the second turbo opens up .

would a bad fuel pressure regulator be among normal mechanical things? or what about a loose/broken secondary injector wire could that be causing this ? or would it go lean with only the primary turbo if its only running on 550's ?
with the car off but ignition on its 12.6 bat , 12.5 at the pump .
The fuel pressure I dont know.. I was going to get that tested this weekend but hurricane and all kind of messed up my day .
but I've just never heard of a Fuel pressure regulator going bad. so I'm skeptical a bit
I know about the FP not getting enough juice . but it doesnt seem like thats the case , and I know the walbros tended to go bad so I swapped that out
now the injectors are another thing I think could be a miss . not the injectors themselves but maybe a loose plug?
but if the car was only running on Primaries would it not go lean at 12 PSI with the primary turbo?
and.... now... IT WORKS.... Im getting 10a/f all the way across the powerband ofcourse it needs a tune now ..
I'm running rich every where . even at idle I'm running richer .
But the problem is gone
man do I feel like an idiot . for not trying this first.
But one thing is the FP wiring had already been tampered with
