Torqstorm.. let's see how it does
Just for update sake.
Went to the track with the new pump and fixed gaskets.
Run good for about 250ft then leaned out hard. Upped jets per the included chart. No change, ran worse, leaned out about the same.
Tried a couple of little things like float level, jet changes. But same issue. So I gave up for that night.
I decided to actually run proper sized fuel line all the way up.
-12 to prostar 500
-10 to magnafuel boost reference regulator with natural -10 inlet and -8 outlets
-8 from reg to each bowl of the carb
Changed needle and seats to alcohol 150s. Just in case.
Still leans out. Carb builder thinks it's fuel delivery (pump). But the fuel pressure gauge says otherwise. Pressure doesn't drop and follows boost.
I decided to take apart his proprietary boost referenced power valve. Very simple design with a spring. Opens by bowl pressure.
I tested the brpv with a regulator and air line. At about 5psi the brpv flutters..fully open by 10psi. Problem is I never see 10psi. I see about 7-7.75psi. I decided to goto the local big r and find some small springs that are different rates.
Started messing around and got it to partially open at about 5psi and not flutter. Although the rate is different it doesn't fully open till about 15psi. But it at least opens more at 5psi. If that makes sense.
Drove down the highway with this new spring in brpv.. no noticeable lean out. It was a tire roasting fest lambda about .78 at wot from what I could see. Steady fuel pressure.
Of course it will act differently at the track. So I'll have more concrete results the next track day.
