Today I Have Mostly Been...

[ae111sr]

12 months after buying it, I've managed to get my fuel pressure gauge working At JAE I talked to Adrian from Fensport about it - he suggested drilling and tapping the fuel filter banjo bolt and screwing it in there rather than having a tee piece of the fuel line from the filter to the fuel rail. Too much likelyhood of getting leeks that way. So I asked a favour of a mate who drilled and tapped it for me and today I put it in place. First attempt wasn't too good as I didn't tighten it up properly and had fuel seeping out between the sensor and the bolt but a bit of spanner work sorted that and it works a treat. With ignition on but engine not running I'm getting 41psi and with the engine idling it's showing 34psi - numbers look about right to me.

Have also had a spare set of injectors cleaned by these guys - very impressed with the turn round - posted 1pm on Monday returned 9am Wednesday. Just have to get them swapped with the original ones - next weekend. Will report back on what the difference feels like once they are done.

On a different note - I've just updated my garage with some new pics.

41 psi???

thats high?

fuel injection runs at high pressures

perfect way for an engine fire also if fitting one of those regulators incorrectly.

Nice one!!! Might look at getting one of those when I start building my new engine....

The banjo bolt way seems to be the best way to go, I'm going to us e that for fuel take off for my wet nitrous kit... as opposed to the original "T" plan... -it also makes removal neater and easier should you ever want too

True. :D

Actually if everything goes according to plan (Lottery win!! ) I`ll be looking at 550cc injectors in the not too distant future. In the meantime i`ll keep using the injector cleaner.
