Re: do you think my fuel problem is fixed?



I was gonna use my existing arkay fueler box. as the box pulses the
injectors under load and boost. i would need to look in my boxes and bins
for a solid state relay as i don't think a mechanical one can pulse that
fast. nah.. i don't have any kind of feedback system. but i do have a o2 on
my manifold. so i'm gonna use a volt meter for now to monitor it.. plus i
figure i rather run rich than lean. and if it's too rich. i'll either put an
inline valve or restrictors in the line. so most likely the mixture will not
be constant but fully rich.

at least there's a cold start valve in each runner, even though it doesn't
atomize it well, at least there will be fuel in the cylinder.

i have a g60 rail but it's too much trouble to fab that onto the manifold. i
figure.. anything gotta be better than now..
