Yikes!
Installed FIC2150's, new injector connectors, and tucked the injector wiring.

So far I can't get them to idle as well as the PTE 1000s (which are for sale; set of 6:)). I'll keep working on it. Haven't tried playing with injector advance yet.
Also installed HKS DLI and opened up the plug gap. That helped the idle some but still not great. Everything is working well in boost. Beat on it for awhile and tweaked the fueling to hit my targets. Raising timing next.:onthego:
Nice garden hose fuel line. Is that -8 or -10?
-8 with wire cover over it so may look a little bigger than normal. Gotta feed the 14Beast!
Hmm..PTE1000s you say? :suspect:
Trying to sell these 880s and hold out for something bigger. Worried that on E85 they'll be nearly tapped out and would require upgrading if I upsize from 14Bs down the road.
That said, selling all these parts to get a Series 2 is priority. Once that's done I'll worry bout injector choice.
They were/are good injectors, but just not going to get it done for next year.
Spent 2 days cutting then polishing my car. The spoiler had faded out to white and the rear left qtr faded completely as well. This pic is 2 years old. It got twice as bad between now and then. Forgot to take recent ones.

Then this happened 500kms from my house :(

which was caused by this...... After 50k kms the bolt holding the timing belt tensioner pulley came loose sending the pulley through the side of the timing cover and the lovely sound of valves hitting the pistons........

Also this happened. long post.... but worth the read
Well we had 2 GTO's break down on this trip........ I think I am cursed. After we left Bruthen, John Howe [throwawayfool] and I headed back over the Great Alpine Road heading back to his house. We got half an hour out of Bruthen and the car died. Just cut out while cruising down a hill. Still had over to everything and the car would crank but not start. Found blown ECU fuse. Had no tools. No mobile reception and no spare fuses...... I found the AC fan was the right size so we took the 20amp fuse from that and put it in the ECU slot. took the 15amp fuse from the fog lights to use for the fan. Car started and we were on our way. 15 mins later it died again. This time we were really fucked cus we had no 20amp fuses left to use or shuffle. A local driving past stopped and took John into town. Bought 4 packets of fuse but that was all they had and it only contained 4 20A fuses. The local gave us about 7 25amp fuses and we got going again. Lasted 10 mins. New fuse. Lasted 5 mins.... new fuse. Got to Omeo and all the shops were closed and we were fast running out of fuses. It did one weird thing where it stopped but hadn't blown the fuse so it started up again..... We started really worrying then because what ever was failing was now failing without blowing a fuse.
Initially thought to be unrelated his car had a bad flat spot whre it would stutter and carry one but was fine under or above that point. It seemed identical to when my fuel pump resistor relay was failing and there was a delay between switching from high to low voltage. After blowing the 8th fuse right on the top of Hotham starting to head down again we realised it only seemed to happen when going slow or the revs where low. I checked and the mechanic who hotwired the fuel pump forgot to bypass the fuel pressure regulator relay which was causing the stutter/flat spot. I also suspected it was causing our issues and when it was switching between high and low voltage it was shorting out somehow. I also noticed the mechanic relocated it and it was getting hit by the weight on the gear shifter. So it's possible it was getting crushed by the weight and caused it to bend etc and short out. In the glove box I found an unused stereo adapter loom and ripped it apart. I used the wires to make a jumper and bypassed the relay. Replaced fuse number 9 and headed off with the aim to never let the revs drop below 3000rpm. We managed to get all the way to his work in Wodonga. We picked up his Land Rover and drove to the caltex. Picked up a tandem trailer then headed to his house. Finally home and in bed by 12:30.
So without John my car would still be stuck in Bright........ without me John would still be stuck on the Great Alpine Road with no phone reception
Eventually got my car loaded up on the trailer in Bright. Got home to my house at 4:30 and unloaded.
Put the carbon fiber hood on it, installed a boost gauge, and Mbc. 12 psi feels much better than 5.
That's rat shit man. Looks like the whole neighborhood came to have a nosey?Quote:
