So I'm nearing my Witt's end on this project. Here's the low down. 6 bolt swap into a 2g body. 95 EPROM ECM and engine harness. Block was bored .020, over sized weisco pistons 8:3:1, eagle rods. ACL race bearings, B/S delete w/stub shaft, kiggly race girdle. Head is stock, had a shop make sure it was in good shape (was told it had been rebuilt and was a no start car).
This past summer I put 4k miles on a fresh build. Had a used 14b, stock 450cc injectors and a stock rewired fuel pump for most of the summer.
Right after the build we noticed something was off, found out crank timing was off and had to fix that about 1k miles into the summer. With the crank timing being off, my car was able to take 16psi and loved every minute of it. Ran great, never had an issue! The only reason I made my ex husband look at it was because it sounded like I had cams but I don't.
Once we corrected the crank timing is when my issues became apparent. I tried to run 12psi and hit fuel cut at 1/4 throttle. At this time I had a stock fuel pump rewired and stock injectors. We backed off to 8psi and I avoid fuel cut unless I'm at wot. Mid summer we purchased a 255 walbro pump and installed it. Still can't go above 8psi or I encounter fuel cut at 1/2 throttle.
What is my cars issue?! This spring I am replacing the turbo as my ex husband destroyed that and replacing the clutch/flywheel thanks to him as well. But I want to be able to enjoy my cars potential right now and sadly, fuel cut and low boost is getting in the way.
