So yeah, onto more fuel related bullshit on the dyno.... it literally never ends.

So.... Get to Dave's saturday morning and get the car all strapped down and we start making pulls probably around 12:30 ish. Made 15 pulls over the course of like 3 hours before she started going lean again in the higher revs......... no I'm not shitting you. Look at FPSI and it's falling off again but by only 25% as much as before. Ok, new filter, new pump, new sock, lines are clean, tanks clean, Dave looks at me and says, "No offense to you, but it's you're wiring. It HAS to be. Can we get to it easy?" "Yeah, I need a phillips, a 5m Allen and 3 minutes."

4 minutes later we're holding the wiring and the relay in our hands and they're warm to the touch, not good, showing ~12V with the car running, even worse. I've got, err HAD the wiring as follows. 10GA from a breakered powerpost to a breaker, to the relay dropping down to the factory wiring into the pump. The wires in the pump being new. The ground was just runto the neared nutsert where I pulled power for the stereo as well. Upon REALLY close examination we found that there was a slight bit of corrosion on the eyelets and the relay contact itself was getting burned slightly. Dave explained to me that the way he wires pumps is to send a constant hot to the pump, and trigger the ground. This stops the sparking that occurs when the relay closes. He also runs the ground directly back to the battery to greatly reduce any chance of corrosion or resistance.

So, that's what we did. After about an hour or so or cranking away we were getting 13.9V to the pump........... Dave is again, proving himself to be the man.

I've got a little bit of re-wiring to do to clean up what we just didn't have the time to do. I've got a comandment that I live by when wiring. With regards to the battery, Thou shall not use more than one wire per terminal on the battery. I've got two seperate powerposts hidden under the storage bins. So over the next two days I need to strip out the seats, the stereo, a good portion of the interior panels on the drivers side, the bins and even the fiberglass deck to run the ground wire a little more neatly.

Then it's back to Dave's on Thursday or Friday to FINALLY play with the sequentials. We we're hoping to get to those on Saturday, and probably could've if we didn't run into this little problem. Oh well, it would've been nice too to have that extra power down low for this



Shaved 4 seconds off a prior run and whopped up on some STI's as well I was happy
