  • I think I figured out my problem

    Remember how my car was runnin REEEEAAALLLY goofy on the dyno? Well, after further searches on the board and some investigations I think i know what went wrong...nitrous install error :o.

    I used the stock vacuum line on the fuel pressure regulator which choked up my fuel feed into the intake manifold. The car was actually running very, very lean. I confirmed this with the tuner after checking out the computer printouts. The fuel pressure spiked to 99+ psi cuz it was just choked up at the fuel pressure regulator.

    This is also what is causing my car to not start as well. The FPR is probably broken to all hell now. I will be replacing that tomorrow and will see if that fixes the hard start problem. :) Wont be testing the nitrous though, its all pulled apart cuz I am converting to wet shot.

    Good to hear, I know I was having trouble with the hoses poping off the fuel pressure reg. and the tee. The hose clamps weren't holding so I replaced them with the screw type.

      Yeah I had to do the same thing! Pissed me off pretty badly when they wouldnt stay on, but now I know why. Just needs bigger hose to flow through.
