Ive posted a few updates recently but it doesnt look like they've been approved?

EDIT: Why have my last few posts needed approval from a mod and not this one?

Tried starting it today. It cranked. and cranked. and cranked.. I think its a fuel issue. It started leaking at the filter, tightened the clamp, and it started leaking from the next clamp up. checked the gauge on the last crank and fuel pressrue was 75psi.. didnt have time to adjust it or troubleshoot further. back at it hopefully tomorrow, have family in town and the girlfriends grad party is tomorrow (im just a puppy). heres some pictures.

^^ Pain in the ass to get the line to fit.

And some of the mocked up linkage.

Drove the car last night. Didnt get the linkage right so it pops out of 2nd and 4th gear. hopefully taking care of that tomorrow.

So i fixed the linkage problem friday, wasdriving fine until my alternator decided to take a shit... And what should my oil pressure be at idle? e30zone said 18psi but it reads a little above zero sometimes. is it just the placement of my sender?

What model fuel injectors are you using? And what flow rate did you decide to go with? With 8:1 compression and 75 psi, my guess is you're running about 30 psi of boost so your injectors have to be over 50 lbs/hr, which is the range I'm looking for as well. Any insight would be appreciated..

fumstoo · « **Reply #23 on:** July 01, 2012, 01:52:33 PM »

your good. Delphi Multec 1 Flow-Matched 65lb/hr injectors and the car will see 2 bar of boost eventually. As soon as i figure out (and get lots of money!) what i want to do for lifters and cams. Do you know how factory lifters hold up? Ive got some oem lifters with under 5k on them. Also, the motor was designed with a gt3076r in mind for a turbo. So if anyone wants to see a 173649hp m42, feel free to make a donation

Dang they have lots of nice stuff.
You wouldn't happen to remember the diameter of the throttle body side of the silicon hose do you?

Thanks for your help

3 3/4" is what i just measured with a diameter tape. sorry it took so long

Also, my charcoal canister is now vented to atmosphere and i seem to be having a vapor lock issue. would reconnecting the canister to vacuum fix this issue?

Nice, pictures say it all. very tidy install.

Looks really good. Any plans to dyno?

For the charcol canister, I just removed mine

On the turbo the GT30 is kind of a dud. If you go GT30 get the 3071 not the 76. Personally I think a 2871 would be really nice. Much better response and its a 400+ at the wheel capable turbo. It would be much better than the journal bearing hybrid you have now.

fumstoo · « **Reply #29 on:** July 19, 2012, 11:19:43 PM »

Dyno next summer. After cams, new turbo and some other goodies

Ill look into the 2871. Still learning a lot and since its up and running(im out of money) so nows the time to read

And where have you heard that the 3076 is a dud? personal experience? a friend had one? Im doing some more research on them now.
