Yeah, I'm really happy (and a bit embarrassed) that it was such a simple problem.

It's been so damned long since my FD worked right that I forgot what kind of fuel economy they got!!!

That's good news man, now for the bad news, buy a new fuel pump and fuel filter.... that 044 is now garbage and there will be small bits of fuel pump lodged in the filter..... they will not tolereate being run dry or run w/too much vacuum..... sorry homer...

Fendamonky · 03-17-2013, 10:43 PM

Fuuuu..... How long ya think I've got before the pump completely craps out? It still pushes 43psi no problem. Think it can wait until the power tune? Or at least be useful for short (15-20 mile) trips while I wait for a new one to arrive?

What power did the car make during break in tuning? I'd say the pimp issue is a time bomb.. It may go months it may not work tom. I've killed pumps before and not known it for weeks until im stranded somewhere...

Partial throttle made 112whp/100tq.

That friggin SUCKS!! Bianca is gunna kill me when I tell her I gotta spend $200 on replacing a fuel pump... =(

So your FD at partial throttle makes more than your Miata does at full throttle!

That's what it looks like! lol

Hmm... thinking about it... you think I should replace my 044 with something different? Since I'll be going inline, and buying a new pump, anyway I might as well... thoughts/suggestions?

There's not enough time to do your swirl pot before DGRR. If you get something that you need a swirl pot for, your car won't make Deals Gap.

Fendamonky · 03-18-2013, 11:28 AM

Yeah, I just found a (lightly) used 044 over on the evil forum. It's getting shipped to me this afternoon. Direct drop-in replacement ftw

JL1RX7 · 03-18-2013, 03:51 PM

Levi, with that car nothing is "drop-in" It will take it's ounce of flesh or fist full of money like nobody's business!

Lol, very true! At least I won't need to drive up to Speed1 for it though.

ok..... We know the pump is bad.... why chance it? I wouldn't drive it until a new pump goes is... but that's me

Second... why are you seeing 43 psi? I set FPSI @ 35 when we got the thing started in January.... did you change the base pressure?

Aw shit... if you wanted a lightly used 044, you should've told me, I would've given you mine... Only used for like a month and one dyno.. of course it flows less than a stock TII pump (I flow tested it) Or, I could get you the FuelLab pump I just put in that has like 20 minutes of run time on it..... that one won't pull a prime, or I could scrougne around for the Aeromotive pump that has maybe a few houras on it that won't hold pressure.....

Lightly used.... fuck that noise... flow test that shit before you turn the key.... can't trust anything or anyone.... cavitate these pumps or run them dry and they're garbage....
