Well it's in, I havn't been able to fully run the car though, the stock fuel pressue regulator is leaking from the flange. I pulled it off, changed the bad O-ring and it's still blowing out fuel, so I'm probably just going to get myself another one tomorrow. But I'll come home and change both O-rings and see if it's still blowing out, if so, I'll get a new one.

But all in all it's been a fun project incorporated with a little bit of head-ache, but not nearly as bad as my head and intake swap project was three months ago.

Engine bay is still dirty though, I didn't polish anything up, just took the pics for my write up on the install I'm going to do.

11.5 psi, ehh??? are you gonna have the hp output checked??

Measured the pulley, checked the table, 55mm pulley = 11.5 PSI of boost, that's what the KB manual said lol. The guy I bought it from said it had a pulley swap and that it was the 10 PSI pulley, what I measured was not the 10 PSI pulley, and I used the proper tool, not a tape measure lol.

put a boost gauge on it, got one in my vert i NEED TO GET RID OF

jthorn9

I have one too, once I get the fuel pressure regulator issue fixed, I'm gonna plug in the boost gauge and see what it says exactly.

I would like to know wtf is up with the kb fmu tearing up fuel regulators

Well if this is a consistant problem, I'll probably get a Vortech FMU, which is actually calibrated for certain injector sizes.

all i know is my car ran good before putting it on. 100 miles later, I can smell it going down the road. . . I am not cranking the car again until I can change the regulator and oil.

and if I am not mistaken, you can change the disc on fmb. I measured the disc on mine before I threw it in the garbage. It was a 12:1 disc. I don't see why someone couldn't stick a different disc in it.

4:1 = 1.59"
6:1 = 1.85"
8:1 = 2.22"
10:1 = 2.47"
