My mod list is up to date. And sorry for the book I'm about to write...
Here's my problem.
I tuned my car this winter on meth and everything ran great at 27psi and 11.5:1 AFR throughout my 3rd gear pulls. This is on a S16G pulling 36lb/min.
Now that it's summer time and 90*+ out, I'm having a fueling issue. I can slam on it in 1st or 2nd and get a 11.5 afr throughout but as soon as I lay into it in 3rd, 4th, or 5th hitting 25psi falling to 20psi it goes lean to the tune of 13.8:1AFR. As soon as I saw this I let off. I'm not seeing any knock even at that AFR with the Water/Meth injection. So, I don't think I did any damage. But, I can't figure it out. I have absolutely no boost leaks, not even at the TB shaft seals. Also, my IDC's are at about 60-65%.
Now, I haven't had the opportunity to make a CAI for the car yet so I am seeing about 120-130* intake temps.
So my questions are...
I think I'm over working the pump.
Currently I'm running the NT FPR on my car with a Walbro 190 and my chip has the injectors set at 690's to compensate for the higher fuel pressure. Since the NT FPR has a higher base fuel pressure would it be wise for me to drop back to the stock turbo FPR in order for the pump to flow more at the higher PSI levels? Then, compensate the chip for 650's in order to raise the IDC's up for more fuel flow?
Am I just running into a fuel temperature issue here? What happens to the density of fuel with higher temperatures. Does it have the same affect on fuel that it does to air? If so, that would mean my fuel pump is actually able to support my needs in cooler weather but not in warm/hot temps?
I just went out and verified that my nozzles are not clogged by pulling them out and manually activating the system. Is it possible that once I get to the higer PSI levels in boost that my WI system is having a hard time pumping the water into the IC piping? How should I go about adjusting the pressure on that?
If anyone has any relevent info on any of this please feel free to help.

I figured that's what it meant, I'm used to seeing "N/T".
