The reason everyone missed it at FCS was because it wasn't there
I was hoping to take it but the fuel pump was in pieces on the bench on the Friday before the show so I had to drive the BMW instead
which I subsequently had to hide in the middle of the show as I accidentally went in the main entrance and not the car park
A bit more information on the fuel pump:
It does seem to go fairly well but seems like its not getting enough fuel to me, absolutely no smoke out the exhaust when on boost which is no fun. Boost is currently at 22 psi which it reaches at about 1800 RPM and holds until I dare change gear...
Any more increase on the max fuel screw just makes it idle at like 2000 RPM and feel like its about go into a positive feedback loop and make the valves start dancing on the bonnet!
I have shimmed the governor and have a ground LDA pin installed, any ideas what else could be limiting it?
The pump had been stood for a while so I had to strip it down, free everything up and rebuild it to get it working. Perhaps its just a bit fooked....
