Well almost a month later and I finally have an update.
The issue with the sputtering is quite funny actually. So, apparently my gas gauge is off a bit, and it could have been messed up from the twisting and turning to get the darn thing back in when I replaced the intank pump the first time. Anyways, under hard acceleration, the gas was not enough to reach the pick up and was starving. I fixed the level reading by bending a metal tab on the housing that stops the float level rod from going higher or lower, and its accurate now.
With fuel in this thing, it pulls hard! The only thing is, it pulls way too much fuel too?
I have been working with Shane to figure out my issue and we are exhausted at this point.
On another note, I decided to install a rail with a schrader valve.
I sand blasted it:
Then I had to delete the CSI so I chopped the bracket off, welded the hole inside and bolted it back on:
I started the beast up and fuel shot everywhere!! I noticed the rail was bent and was causing number 4 injector to not seat well.. I was frustrated so I decided to make my own billet aluminum rail.. I am still not finished yet but ,once I am I will post photos.
I ordered form Amazon and heres what I received:
I was going to anodize it black but it already came that way!! less work for me!
I was looking into options for a 3 bar FPR to mount to it. I decided to do some homework and found that Mazda's use a smaller 3bar as well as Hondas. Went to the junkyard to find a few.
Got some and blasted/painted them
some before and after shots)
Mazda:
Honda:
Thanks to some help provided, I was able to get information on the specs needed to build this rail. So here you can see that if I use a stock FPR, the rail will be the correct length and I wont need to cut it down:
Volvo:
If I use the Mazda/Honda FPR, I will have to trim it down by 1.5"
Honda:
Mazda:
And here you can see a line up for the difference in sizes:
I had to order some new fuel line to accommodate this rail and it should all be here soon. Once I get it on I will post some updates.
In the mean time, I made a Boost leak tester so I can see where my leaks are:
Ill post my findings here tonight! Wish me luck!
