    Hehe, he sure didn't :) Check out the clog: I'm surprised it started at ALL! Planning on doing somewhere in-between a hard and soft break-in, I'm going to give it heavy throttle runs and hard engine breaking, but I'm going to avoid boosting as much as I can (so no high revs)

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    No kidding! I was really dreading having to empty it and drop it again! I have another question regarding timing The first 20 miles are crucial, as everyone knows, so I'm just supposed to drive it as soon as It idles properly without leaks, but what about the timing? Can't set timing until...

    Fuel pressure

    I have narrowed it down to a clog in the banjo fitting that connects to the bottom of the metal union coupler that bolts onto the engine mount For more details check my build thread Thanks for the input guys! :)

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    I found the clog! I disconnected the flare union by the firewall beneath the clutch cylinder, hooked up a rubber hose to the hardline (not return line), had my friend turn ign on with the diag. box jumpered, the pump filled half of a 20 oz bottle in a few seconds, so flow is good! The short...

    I'm not using a harness, I just used female quick disconnects, so that can't be the problem I got a new battery today, then tried again, the voltage was 12.38 at the relay, 12.39 at the battery, when I jumped the relay to trigger the pump, voltage dropped to about 12.1 I'm deciding voltage is...

    Fuel pressure

    The battery was fully charged the last time I tried it The amount of time it takes to run low on pressure depends on if it even was at full pressure! My longest idle, I jumped FP and B+ until I had over 30 psi when we started it, it lasted about 1 minute until it died, i had my friend start...

    You tell me! I got it from you as well as the walbro about 2 years ago LOL. Iirc they were used for only a few hundred km's before you switched to LPG.

    I have a new 10 guage wire running from the battery to the pump so I doubt that's the issue, but I'll check anyways

    It's definitely a step in the right direction! Any suggestions on debugging the fuel system?

    Fuel pressure

    After fixing the timing (off by 1 tooth) i was able to get it to start and run briefly, but then I confirmed that my hunch was correct, there is something not quite right with my fuel system The car will start but then pressure drops until it won't run anymore :(

    It started!!! Still won't stay running though, I have determined there is a fueling issue The pressure takes too long to rise, and then as soon as the car is started the pressure just drops until it won't run anymore I am not looking forward to taking apart my fuel system :(

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    I tried to start it today, with no luck. There was what I think was a backfire though, there was a pop and my friend saw some smoke come around the TB area, and I smelled fuel, he said I lost a good amount of fuel pressure when that happened? I pulled plug #1 and it smelled like fuel and looked...

    Fuel pressure

    The pressure does come up eventually, it just takes a few minutes to get to full pressure, seems strange to me, and I can't even hear any fuel flow... I did try and start it, with no luck. There was what I think was a backfire though, there was a pop and my friend saw some smoke come around...

    Fuel pressure

    Ok, let me make this abit more clear since I forgot to mention some details The car is not running yet, and I'm talking about having system that's been sitting empty for a long time, and jumping FP and B+ I can't really hear fuel coming into the fuel rail, but it does build pressure if I give...

    Fuel pressure

    Hey guys, i have a quick question How long does it take for a walbro fuel pump to pressurize the fuel system? My AFPR takes awhile to register pressure, and it slowly goes up I am abit concerned! But not sure if this could be normal if the car's been sitting for awhile?

    The filter fits like a glove! I put in about 6 hours of work today, As well as the intake, I finished the cooling system, filled it the Zerex G-05 and distilled water, exhaust installed, IC Pipes installed, primed the system, saw some oil pressure start to build, installed spark plugs... All...
