Alright so this is what has been done...
1991 240 m47 (have a 244 with a t5 that will be swapped in)
Decent size Ebay Turbo at stock 8psi
MicroSquirt (with all the fixin's)
Volvo Blue Injectors 395cc
NEW: Plugs, wires, crank sensor, both fuel pumps, fuel filter (just oem stock replacements, will upgrade in the future), all vacuum lines
First off ever since micro, it has not started easy. Takes SO many cranks and obviously I am missing something there too. ANYWAY..
He is what happened... after A TON of cranks, it would finally start. It was running great when I had Snake Eater 1000cc injectors in there (for a short while). Drove probably 10 hours total running the TunerStudio AutoTune feature and it felt great, very dialed in, didnt want to up the boost and destroy my poor m47. Then, while driving to my first drift event, 33.5 miles into the 35 mile drive it died and absolutely would not start again. It was like a switch was flipped and the fuel was cut off.... This is when I replaced all the plugs, wires, and in tank pump. Nothing. Pulled the injectors, cleaned them, and started, but ran like absolute hell. I pulled the 1000cc injectors, put in the 395cc, along with a new in line oem bosch fuel pump, adjusted the tune for the injectors. It starts, and runs, but absolutely horrible! I can not even drive it because it will just randomly die. It will be running great, then stall out. Try to start it again... 1000 cranks later it will start up, die again.
I have checked the FPR by seeing if any fuel is making its way into the vacuum line and there is nothing there so I am ASSUMING that this part is fine... but who knows. Everything on this car has seemed to give me issue.
I know this is not the best description of whats going on. I am just at a loss. I have replaced so much stuff that doesnt seem to make any sort of difference at all and I am about 5 seconds away from sending it right to the crusher.
Ideas, Suggestions, Comments, Concerns all welcome. This is the first car I have tried to Micro and from everyone else who says "its easy, its the best thing ever" I feel like I have to be missing something "simple" here. Help PLEASEEEE (pic of my gold turd)
