Would be easier to blend there, dont you guys have a large petrochemical industry?

 

^ Ya it's called Aaron's backyard, full of his homemade E85 moonshine

 

Update?

 

Still has a pump issue of some sort. Trying to sort it out but it looks like its not gonna happen tonight at the dyno. This is what happens when I make a post and force the car to perform I am going to go back to my formerly hard and fast rule of do the cool shig first, then post.

Sorry guys but the update will come in due time.

^ dang your "***** pump" Get that thing work right

 

^lol! Must not have been Swedish made!

 

^ Aaron probably blew an O-ring.

 

nope NO E-anything here

we had lots of sugar cane and i thought trinidad was headed for E85 but then cancelled it!

yup there is lots of petrochemicals here, i am actually in the oil and gas industry, more natural gas.

i know e85 is pretty inexpensive in the usa especially if its homemade. just asking i guess. unless one of you can teach me to make it

 

I didn't know you could make E85... Maybe that's what my next door neighbor was doing and they arrested him because they thought it was a meth lab... jk

Sorry to hear the news. I'm sure she will be up and running in no time. You should get Lucas to take a video so we can all watch

bummer!

I too learned the hard way about puttin gout teaser posts as it always seemed to bite me in the ****........so now i just go about my daily routine and if something good happens i post it.......besides my normal banter

I' know there are vids on how to make your own "moonshine" aka E-???

 

Very nice, I have been talking to Jens about a set of these for my mr2. You are the first person I have seen running them so far.

 

TTP sells them under a nom de plume and rates them based on 55psi fuel pressure. They are out there though.

 

Okay so the update on the fuel pump issue. It was doing something very odd for having such a large pump and such large injectors it wanted to go lean no matter how much fuel I was throwing at it. The night it was supposed to go to the dyno I thought I had it all under control took it at 16psi and made a quick rip, it was better but not like it should have been. I got back to the shop and was trailing a large cloud of steam.

You can imagine what that did for me but after checking the water in the radiator, the overflow, the oil level, the catch can it became clear it wasnt a headgasket problem. Seems I was a little aggressive on the porting action and there is a thin spot (least in my head) on #1 in the exhaust port. A quick R&R of the head and a trip to ETS has it all fixed, but now I am behind the gun a little. I am going to try to have everything back together for the dyno next week and get some pump numbers and then switch to E98 as well.

I might add some info about it to the head porting thread as well, but basically it seems this might be something that affects all years. Mine had no evidence of coreshift like the 8 heads we have seen (the bowls werent quite the best, but ports looked good) but I bet if I sawed some heads apart we'd see a very thin wall in the cam gear side of the exhaust port about 10 o'clock and an inch or so in. This was an aggressive port job so I think 90% of ported heads out there arent going to ever run into this. As far as that goes we have ported heads just as aggressive and only seen this one other time and it showed up before start up.

Irish Luck I guess

 

Theirry Henry touched your head?



Sorry man, glad to hear your in the right direction.

I took the head off my car last week because I thought I blew a hg. Didnt end up being the hg gasket but I was looking at the valve chambers and they are very badly mis-shapen. There just slanted no bowl what so ever. The exhaust chambers werent as bad but you could tell they had the same issue. Both runners looked mint though. So I decided to keep the head off and port it myself along with build the motor. lol
