DSM Rear End Noise. - YouTubeNo Vibrations felt, any ideas?Thanks

That would be helpful, thanks :thumb:Def post the results when you do! :hellyeah:

Awesome numbers, great job! I wish I could run that much boost on 93 with my fp3052. What does your timing curve look like?Thanks

Nice run! What do you do tune-wise to spool the turbo at the line?

Going to go this route after giving JAM a call :thumb:

Who do you guys recommend I send in a head to for o-ringing service?I plan on running a composite hg so I know SS o-rings are best with a protrusion of .013.Thanks

Pic or she doesn't exist :)

It bleeds down slowly like it should. I haven't checked exactly how long it lasts for but definitely a while. The car starts a lot faster after sitting overnight. Overall, I'm very happy with the new regulator.

Well, I ended up changing this POS out for an Aeromotive A1000 fpr and low and behold, fuel pressure no longer bleeds down to zero when I shut the car off! :rocks:

Any mitsu style exhaust manifold will work.

Honestly, I don't see myself messing around with it much. I'll most likely just buy a new one, probably a fuelab unit.

So the ball seat defect wouldn't contribute to the pressure bleeding down instantly? I would think it would...

Which model Aeromotive do you have?

I'm not sure, it's a Walbro 255. A buddy of mine has the same fuel pump and a fuel lab afpr and his pressure does not bleed down immediately like mine does.

Well I am running 30+ psi so would you recommend replacing the afpr?

It's the seat where the ball goes. Yes, the pressure drops to zero immediately upon shutting the car off.

I opened up my Aeromotive AFPR today and found something interesting. The seat where the ball sits seems to be defective. Would this defect cause the fuel pressure to bleed down immediately after shutting off the car and/or present problems in fuel delivery under boost?Thanks

The search button is your friend :thumb:

It would be pointless without tuning

I'm pretty sure it's bpr7es not bpre7es...

I still have both of my stock fans with the 3052.

Who cares how long it has been? The motor has 0 miles and it's junk when it was advertised as being in perfect condition. Unacceptable plain and simple.

What have you changed?

Car looks great!

fp3052 24psi, straight 93

I thought you had to machine the 2g rods to accept arp rod bolts, no?

Your balance shafts might be out of phase

Why not go ahead and rebuild the bottom end with forged internals while you're at it?

I agree

This has been happening to me a lot lately as well. Buyers telling me they want an item and then completely disappearing.

You pulled the whole motor JUST to change the timing belt? WTF

Get a functioning boost gauge

Nice build, $$$$$$$$

Awesome job Leon! I can't wait to see this thing with a larger turbo.

Same goes for a performance/racing engine though right?

Even though I'm running more than double the stock hp? Wouldn't I need a thicker oil to handle the increased heat and stress?

"This is a big no-no as most OEM oil recommendations are based on how the engine left the factory. When you increase the HP, RPM's and turn up the boost, the thin oils don't hold up to the stress and heat"

What weight oil would you recommend for a stock 7 bolt making somewhere between 450 and 500hp?

Pics or it has 128k! LOL and yes ecmlink lite would be sufficient if you don't plan on running speed density.

Home Depot Racing FTW!

Looks good to me.

Sounds good!

x2, I can't imagine putting my car through all that abuse in one night OMG

How does it look good? I'll keep my bumper cover on.

Engine bay looks very good. Not a big fan of the exterior though.

Judging by what he has said, the machine shop isn't going to cover the damage so I was just making a suggestion as to what he should do next.

Put in a stock 6 bolt, they hold just fine.

looks good, turn up the boost.

If you don't have a place to work on your car then you can't buy a "project" car. I would buy a running dsm and slowly mod it while keeping it a daily driver just to get familiar with the car until you have the money and garage space to buy another car and tear into the dsm.
