ive said this before and will say it again...

15psi on stock internals, pump, and fpr.....



ive gone from 7psi on the stock pump to now 15 and i havent had a bit of issue at all with it.

only things ive done to the fuel is gone with an rrm bored rail and wrx 440 injectors.

Don't forget a lot of that comes down to the tune. A walbro is only $100 or so, I don't see why you wouldn't get one.

 

running stock evo base map on the evo ecu. and my feeling is why fix what aint broke

well I remember you saying that before about you running the stock pump, but I also remember you saying you hadn't had any problems yet... So thats why im kinda iffy about the pump issue. So heres what I'll do I will sell it and try Josh's theory and if it doesnt work I will just buy a brand new one. If it does then Josh can kick my nuts

 

I dont know if you can tell but one is bigger of course and won't fit, so i'll just sell it for $40 shipped

 

you bought the pump used?

 

I have the same pump or at least my walbro has the exact same GSS342 part number on it, its tight I had to shave down the inside of that plastic cap that snaps on holding it in place as well as drill the center hole a little bigger. After that went on no sweat

 

jeeeezzz well I guess I can do this if all else fails

 

hey I had a evo 9 bov question, Imm suppose to tee that nipple end to the vacumn line right? How did you guys tee that bigger end to the smaller end of the tee? I was looking at my vacumn lines 2 days ago and realize that its really small

 

they sell a tee assortment at all auto parts stores , just bring in the bov and show'em that and the fuel pressure regulator hose and tell'em you need to connect them , Im using the evap solenoid port right behind the throttle body on the intake , its a larger port but I get a stronger signal from there .

 

Alright everyone big update and I cannot wait for these next two weeks to pass. I will be offically going turbo in about 2-3 weeks from today, i just have to wait on my manifold, get another wastegate and the rest are small pieces here and there. I will probably start the build in June 7th and hopefully to get everythin done in less than a week depending on work.

Also a need help installing slim fans... How did everyone mount there slim fans in the front of the radiator? And where did you place that little power box or whatever its called in the engine bay? Im going to install them monday so I can knock it out of my list. any hints or tips will help out alot

 

Update everyone I just intalled my slim fans, adn I installed the intercooler, it took me 1 hour for the intercooler :-( I found out the the brackets on the sides were bent so and they wouldnt line up but I got it in. It looks so sweet I will post up pics tomorrow my back is sore from bending over so much. it took me 4 hours to unhook everything and intall it

 

YAYA PICS PICS Lol

 

dont be one of "those guys". leave the intercooler off untill you put the rest of the kit on.

 

I'm one of "those guys" right now. I installed my 60 trim kit this weekend and didn't have time to get to the fab shop to have them make my hotside intercooler pipe. So now I get to drive a 300whp+ Lancer all week that's only making around 110whp with a short ram hooked up. Man I forgot how slow a non-turbo Lancer really is after being spoiled with boost for over 2 years. At least my gas mileage will be good for the next 5 days. That's gotta count for something, right?
