Let's hear it!

 

but no liftoff ?

 

It's about time.

 

Soon...many will hear. Or you asking about happened?

The Skinny:
The White Buss connector behind and below the ECU was loose. Reset it and all is good again. Well almost.
I do know how to TS the Tranny sensors. Thanks go out to Nick for tracking it down. Nick, i'm buying > @ SSXIII

Thats a Negitive, uncontrolled fuel leak mixing with the oxidizer.

What is this "Time" you speak of?
(Yes, it's about time. I forgot how to start my own car!)

 

09: you coming to SS ???

 

Surely you jest.
yes I'll be there.

 

Congrats!

 

Fuel leak is fixed, car runs pretty well. So do you wanna drive this car or what?

 

No, not really. I just want it to sit there and look pretty.

 

I was going to ask to drive it to feel the difference between my s/c and your turbo but with that last comment about sitting there and looking pretty I think I had better not.....I may hit a puddle and get it dirty

 

Talk to me at the hotel.
(Place your Bets)

 

alright, so we know you'll be there but the million dollar question is: will your RX-8 be there?!

 

Paint it black then.

 

All signs point to yes at this point. So keep your
yea, NO.

 

w0000t, that's awesome!
can't wait to see this little beast in person.

Jeff doing the tuning?

 

Only one I trust.

 

Drove the car today; having some fuel pump issues. The car boosts fast as any good turbo system should. In 1st gear under 2500rpms at 30~ish percent throttle its in positive pressure. Obviously its not tuned so we backed off as soon as we heard it. I am guessing its not going to be too far off from the previous greddy kit...

 

yeah, just plain wierdness. i'm going to swap in the Stock Arram pump and see what happens.

Stat up and die...let the pump run a little and would start up and die again.

now of course is would help if I had a fuel pressure guage to test with.

 

When do we start?

I've got one here with quick-release fittings that match the RX-8 fuel system.
Lemme know if you still need it.
I'll be back in AZ on Monday.

 

Thanks Jeff.

I'll start sending logs as soon as She stays running.

It's weird. If let the pump run for 30 sec or so before STARTING the car, it will start. Then run for 15 - 20 sec. Lean out and die.

The banana is back at the house and I'll swap the OE pump back in tomorrow and will try again.

 

Looking good. I wish I had that much room to work with...

 

You have to pay that price to have a huge turbo...

So Dave... Its 11 Am, it should be fixed by now

 

I'm getting really close now. Tomorrow will tell all.

 

fingers crossed! to the progress of AT :P

 

She's ALIVE !
however the banana will run for 2-3 mins and then stall out. Right before the stall the AFR's will start to increase. I can hear the fuel pump spin up, the idle will come back into line, the AFR's drop and then the fuel pump will spin down.

It almost sounds like it runs out of fuel to deliever. It has a 3rd tank of gas with 4-5 oz of premix.
Walbro pump from Ray and I did drill out the siphon way back when. I do have a restrictor to put back in but the siphon doesn't sit properly on the standoff.

No codes are ever thrown and she will start up almost right away.

Jeff, what are you doing Saturday?
