I managed to get the car to the tuner for some fab work and the tune prior to a quick 2-week trip offshore. As I arrived, he went through all the wiring and everything looked good, a sigh of relief from myself.
Unfortunately, it seems my modifications to the fuel pump housing failed and we could only build about 3psi of fuel pressure before dropping to zero. I suspect the fuel pump nipple is not sealing in the housing, having fallen due to a lack of support or was never seated properly in the first place.
We did manage to get the car running off brake cleaner – win.
Whilst offshore I ordered a new housing and bought the Denso 265 LPH pump I mentioned in my previous post. The pump is indeed identical to the factory one, going into the new housing beautifully.
The fabrication works looks absolutely awesome. I have a small to-do list before heading back to the tuner in the next week or so.
As you can see, some of the items are already complete, including a catch can.
