Hey Patrick check out this web site on how to make an LED test light


you can probably make it smaller to fit your needs or adjust it to test those injectors leads.

http://www.electronics-tutorials.com...-test-lamp.htm



edit: now that I think about it I think you could wire up a standard vehicle bulb ( like the ones used to light the interior or like behind the insturment cluster) wire it up with two prongs and stick in the clip, they might not last as long as LED and prone to breaking if dropped though.

I think you can you can get it.

lastly let let me know if it worked or what the issue was when and if you figured it out.

Well, the results are in.....

Ran into some problems, but did get some suprising results....

348hp 290tq 11psi.

The problem was that the stock ports were too small to compensate for the amount of air the turbo pushed out. This resulted in choking out the motor in the higher rpms and when boost was increased the performance became worst.

This was a draw back I've learned today......stock ports on rotary can only do sooo much with a large turbo set up. The motor ran great and strong until boost was being increased. Fuel wasn't a problem because I barely only began to use my secondary 1680's. This hp was made mainly with the stock primary 550's.

I guess 11 psi and 348hp is okay. Took it for a test run afterwards and almost losted it.....very fishy in the rear end now. The 285's in the rear sure breaks loose quite easily as the weather there was dry.

Hope this becomes useful information to you guys....I'll post up vids and pics when its uploaded..



And also.....I guess the tuner is very familar with rotaries....he tuned a 4 rotor race car several weeks back N/A making 600hp....
