#59895, "fuel pressure (bought the SFMU FROM BILL - MOTOFOOL)"




          

Sup guys.
AGAIN guys... I NEED HELP!!! My fuel pressure WON"T GO DOWN STILL.
I finished all intercooler piping... all I need is the stupid fuel pressure.
(just to make sure, I disabled FPR, walbro 255HP, stock injectors)

OK..this is what I observed from experiment... Tell me what you think!
1) turning the top screw in or out (from all out to most in, the fuel pressure only changes 1 PSI the Most (if I see it right it goes from 55PSI to like 55.5 or 56PSI) so screw or unscrew it don't do anything except 1PSI the most.
2) when I opened the top lid of the SFMU and and just leave it open, then start the car, it's at 60PSI, which when I unhook the vaccum hose, it will go to 60PSI so basically even if I take over EVERYTHING, no disk, no spring no top lid... it still stay the same basically.
3) I unhooked the return fuel line and run it to a bucket, and the fuel pressure still 55PSI so it must not be the bad return line.
4) I finally take off EVERYTHING, and let the SFMU holding by my friend, and all the fuel line is straight down to the fuel rail and etc, and it still stay at 55PSI

NOW guys... what you guys think?? anything else other then that Bill (motofool) gave me a bad SFMU? I bought it brand new from him for $295 and now I put it on, and this is my problem.

Plesae tell me guys.
And BILL (motofool) can you give me some of your opinion also?
I will later just ask someone (hopefully I find one) their SFMU and put it in, if it works, then Bill, I want an exchange of another SFMU.
Thanks guys.
Gil

Please give me all your insights.

um... you disabled the stock fpr?
how you do that?, it should be a line from the pump to the fuel rail. with maybe a fuel filter inbetween. i dunno what exactly you got.

It's either the stock FPR or the S-FMU that's causing the problem. Start by testing the S-FMU to find your problem.

How do I check my SFMU?

Does he actually cares about what he sold to others?

have you ran your new return line yet to see if that helps? Let me know how it goes when you install your 30# injectors we got. I'll be installing my SFMU & injectors in the next month so I'll be researching what needs to be done for tuning.

And the pressure is still 55PSI... no matter what.... and eve nI turn the top lid screw.... all the way in or all the way out... still only 55PSI (I didn't turn all the way in...) don't want to damage it.

why don't you swap sfmu with a fellow turbo 2gnt; maybe its broken?

it seems like you've gone through the gauntlet of possible causes.

alright where's your fuel pressure gauge hooked up. Also did you take out the valve thing on the fuel rail. I don't know much about the 1995 fuel system. The fuel pressure sensor should be in between the fuel rail and the sfmu i believe. Even though the pressure is high does the engine still run right. It could be the gauge. I just installed my sfmu and am installing my turbo kit but i haven't got a fuel gauge so sorry if this doesn't help. One more thing where'd you get that intercooler and what size is it?

Got it on Ebay..brand new Speacro.

OK GUYS

IT BOOST>..and IT IS SO DAMN FUN...NO I know what you guys mean...
SO DAMN FUN..... OH SHIT...all I have is a HUGE SMILE on my face...HAAHAA...and all the people on the street is looking at me.

Anyway...I HAVE HUGE PROBLEM.
I think the reason my fuel pressure never go down below 55PSI, coz my SFMU is broken. I am not sure still.
Coz now...even when I am boosting to 4PSI (my current wastegate limit) the fuel gauge still read 60 PSI.. and one update...now my idle fuel pressure is 60PSI also..>NO LOWER.

I do'nt get it.... I am boosting at 4PSI with intercooler and my fuel pressure is still 60PSI...VERY LOW...I am so worried about detonation.but I AM SO ADDICTED to boosting...GOD you guys won't konw how it feels... SO NICE...... STILL VERY HYPER about it.. .HAAHAA...

ANYWAY guys...now I will HOLD my self not to boost and fix the fuel... PLEASE..... even with boost it still read at 60PSI...is that mean my SFMU is FUCKED???

=============================
IMPORTANT...does any turbo changered eclipse with SFMU is around ALBANY NY area??? I want to change my SFMU to see if it works.
THanks.

make sure is it not the fuel pressure gauge that's broken and DON'T BOOST until every issue has been worked out. if the fuel pressure gauge is fine, then call vortech about a warranty.

I'm starting to think that your S-FMU or fuel pressure gauge is busted. The difference between screwing the static screw all the way in and all the way out should be huge. You should be able to go from 20 psi up to 60 or so. I think you'll have a hard time getting any warranty help from Vortech. I think you'll have to go through Bill.

THanks guys.

fp of course since its the cheapest. you can probably peice one together with your old fittings and a new gauge. i've never tried to make one so who knows but there probably a write up on the net.

but that sucks with vortech though; i can't believe they don't have a warranty or honor it.

I am sure Vortech has very good warranties, when you buy their products from an authorized vortech dealer. I doubt motofool is though.
Oh, btw... do you have the little metal caps that go on each end of the SFMU spring? If you didn't, turning the screw would just thread it into the spring, not actually push down on it. I think turning the screw in raises the fuel pressure, so it shouldn't matter anyway. Just curious...

You should just go to an import store and buy a new sfmu. Take the new one out and swap it with the old one. And take the old one back. No worries with warranty problems or anything. Do the same with the gauge. It'll work everytime

^ good luck with that.

If someone took apart the lower part of the sfmu its most likely busted and will need to be sent to vortech for repair.

I find it odd that you 2 post together.

Gil has suspected bad sfmu
Mil offers Gil new sfmu
Mil posts about new sfmu in FS section
Mil accidentally refers to himself has Gil here and edits. Someone caught it

What gives?

Mil = Gil imo

and even question that I scam people.

I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT...and I AM and always...and currently using Campus computer..... and YES...I know Millenium, he is kinda like my friend, coz he drives Eclipse also in school, and I got to konw him in one of the auto-cross racing shit...
And that doesn't mean SHIT ok.

So if you guys say all that shit...then so will be it...I guess all the good stuff I did before is just ALL SHIT.

Well if he is a friend that you know, why would he come on here asking you to sell it? Come on now, both user names have the same exact IP addresses, which means both users are using the same computer. Take it for what you will...

so you have to make that clear.
And by the way, I am the one who show him 2gnt.com.
Anyway, think whatever you want.
Gil

P.S.
all I konw is, now I have been screwed by FUEL PUMP ASSHOLE, oil line kit shit, exhaust manifold, and now the SMFU....I been screwed 4 times in 6 months...BIG TIME...and I am buying myself a brand new one, and have a F'ed one sitting in my car, so I can at least start my car and drive to school and work.
Whatever you guys say ok...
I just want to go here and ask for help and help others...but I know the fact is, people here always scores others and viceverse.

Calm down man!

IMO, you are too much of a hurry when you work on your cars. I remember what happened during that rebuild last summer. Now you have this frantic post about a turbo install? You DO know you'll end up rebuilding thisd one too don't you?

Calm down man.

Dude... Calm yourself down and do things right. Might want to go back to highschool also. Regardless, you need to calm down and make sure you do things right. Glueing lines really well to a sfmu is a good way of doing it WRONG. Shit like that doesnt stay, just wait untill you can do it right and then do it right. You will feel so much more comfert when you do it that way, trust me I know.

OK...I think i have to make this nice an clear.
It's BRAND NEW..not used.
So if you compare a used to a brand new, of course you can get it cheaper.. DUH!
Second, it comes with all fuel hose, and adaptors... so NO NEED to get anything.
