So yeah... driving home from work tonight and the car died. no fuel pressure. one of my fuses popped for the voltage supply. But I also pulled the fuel filter off.. all kinda crap in there. Going to fix some wiring and switch to a different filter.

pop out your injectors too they now have shit in their filters. New filters can be had at www.ravenworksllc.com for about $.40 each.
Ask me how I know this too.

How about instead of keep on saying " ask me how I know" you just share what you have done and your results

BTW theis going to BIR Tomorrow (wednesday) for shits and giggles.
Alright when we ran one of those little filters our injectors also clogged to the post of the car would barely idle and would spike lean if you tried to move it. Replaced the filters then flow tested them all was good again.
Thanks Funky and 92. I am thinking of how I am going to relocate the filter... was thinking in the trunk by where the spare tire goes. Couple of problems is no spare and fuel inside the car. I am not worried about the injector filters I am just waiting on some custom 1000cc suprasport injectors. Then my old ones are going right to jack to be redone also
So Funky stopped by and we threw some spark plugs in it... not a big deal but what i pulled out was. The porcelain cracked on the center electrode on the plug cracked and was sliding up and down the electrode. :3d_frown: I am lucky that didnt drop and bounce around like a super ball.
I also hooked up my catch can and made PCV system. I was blowing a lot of smoke right away, my out line was large enough to let all of the pressure out and making pressure in the crankcase. I drove a few miles and figured out that this was an issue. I pulled the hose and problem solved.

Nice project... but question... do you have any more pictures of the cylinders ? im not seeing honeing marks in the pictures i see now.. was just curious
I will have to remember to bring those clips down soon for your plug wires. I will Pm you the guys number with the front end pieces you need.

So it looks like i am going to be putting coil overs on hold until i figure out why i have 45 psi in cylinder 2 and 20psi in cylinder 5 and around 125 psi on all of the other cylinders. Blowing smoke like i am fogging for bugs.
Sean you dont remember what cylinders i pulled those fubar spark plugs out of do you?
I don't remember. I would pull the head off You hay very well have messed something up. Have you done a leak down test yet?scubajtw;1389028 said:
