Hey all, ok so the engine has all the gear for 300hp, I have recently had a stage 2 upgrade to the turbo, bigger compressor wheel and turbine wheel into the T3 housings, at a recent track day on 19psi I believed I was running out of fuel as on full load after a lap or so the engine would basically cut out so I would back off and it would be fine as long as I didn't hammer it again. I turned the boost down to around 12psi and no problem full load around the track happy days. I know the lift and fuel pumps weren't up to it now due to researching their flow rates. So I have installed a new carter lift pump 72gph and main pump is a walbro 220ltr per hour, new crank sensor (as I heard this can cause cutting type issues), the fuel pressure is 52psi with the standard cozzy regulators vac pipe blocked and at idle it reads 42psi with the pipe on the regulator which is normal as it is a rising rate type?
on first start up at cold the AFR is in the red 22.4, sometimes if I rev the engine it would read around 11.8-12.3 in the green, then even with the the engine at slightly higher revs it will shoot back to red! I have recalibrated the AFR sensor and refitted just in case but no change, sometimes it will be in the green after initially reading red and we do this dance all over again! Doesn't matter if the engine is hot or cold it still reads between red and green. WTF is going on? I am lost at what it could be! Could the water temp sensor cause fuelling issues?
Cheers Jonny
