81868, Problem with my EGT temp Posted by laoreflxzn, Oct-18-04 05:03 AM
I just finish rebuilding my engine. forge piston and those other crap. When I first take it out for a drive a couple of days it was fine the egt read out to be about 1400f with my turbo boosting at 6psi and the same at 10psi. But now I dont know wht is wrong with it I am not even boosting just normal driving close to 0psi or 1psi and the tempature on the egt reads 1450-1600 can't even drive past 40-55mph with out the temp reaching 1600f. Wht is wrong with this. I have a/f gauge and it reads fine swing back and forth and also i have the digital one stays around .8 to .9 Also I have the S-AFC II with 30lbs injectors. I even try running the injectors at 0% correction and still same problem. It was just weird that it ran fine the first couple of days. Any help is appreciated

What Fuel Pressure Regulator are you using?
Does it look like this?

I am using aeromotive fuel pressure regulator is that useless like the craptech? What pressure should it read at idling. I know it is 1:1 ratio is that too low. My idling fuel pressure is 45. I just changed the o2 sensor too, still the same. Also another problem is when I floor the car it goes to lean but when I step off the pedal just a little bit it goes to rich then back to lean. When it goes to lean I notice the pwer drop then goes back up when rich. What the hell is wrong with it. Anyone from around the New England are know a place where I can go to have it tune. I know there's one in connecticut but forgot where.

that is the wrong regulator for your application. you need an SFMU not a aeromotive 1:1.

Yep. The Aeromotive 1:1 is a very nice regulator, but I wouldn't use it unless you had about 550 cc/min+ avaiable at each rail.
Good applications for a 1:1 -Standalone fuel manangement with 550 cc/min+ at each rail -8 injectors -eManange...? -Normally asperated (if you felt inclined to change your fuel pressure)
