Shouldn't you have dyno numbers today, or are they as bad at email as they are with car parts?

they ran in to some issues,as long as its this week ill be happy,they told me from the start it would be slow going . i wish it was moving faster but I've been dealing with shops for years I've never had a project done on time . I have talked to other shops that sell there products and the only complaint is there slow delivering the products . Were see how it goes.

Sorry to hear! Its quite normal to have some issues after the FI build i think. Maybe some leaks etc. Did they tell you what the problem is?

If thats my only problem ill be happy . i going e85 and fuel system and turbos bigger intercooler and 3 inch exhaust all the way back ,lots of things to go wrong ,so i am worried . car being in maryland and me being in west texas doesn't help. lol

At least you're getting specific updates and not just "we ran into an issue"

Martijn_b · 04-11-2019, 04:34 PM

Amy news on your progress? :-)

Alright just an update from my side - my smoke is solved too.

I contacted MA Motorsports and purchased their kit. Thanks @urban hermit for posting about it here. And also thanks to MA, they are the type of company we all want to deal with. Perfect in communication, quality products and just very helpful.

I didnt use the RB racing pump. They are an oldschool kind of company, and probably more geared towards the walk-in crowd. I live over 5.000 miles away and their communication just wasnt great. So i went to Turbowerx and ordered their TWX300 pump. Its very quiet (even quiter than the smaller RB pump i had). Just like MA motorsports their communication was also spot on.

Wired everything up. I used a relay and the fuel pump ON signal to also turn on the scavenger pump. 500 miles without smoke so far.

You have to fiddle a bit with the power steering lines if you use the factory ones like me. Also the wheel well cover thing doesnt fit perfectly anymore because of the pump. Its fine for now but next winter ill probably relocate it to a better location.

Hope this info helps other users with similar problems

Thanks for your kudos ...
The TWX300 pump is quieter because it is a diaphragm type. Although they are quieter they don't have as much pumping power.
RB pumps are driven by helical gears and are 'industrial strength'
Glad to hear that it is working for you.
The MA-M kit recommended mounting place does interfere with the inner wheel well liner. They removed it on my build to better accommodate the oversize I/C and charge pipes. Looks pretty 'race car like' with the charge pipes showing out a little from the Stillen front fascia.
One last note - if you don't drive the car for a week or so you will get some initial smoke on start up because the oil does drip into the turbo.
I clears up and not to worry.
