Learning to make fast go fast!

Billy, I love mine too, but we both must have more money than brains!

Nope, I bought mine used for $300 shipped with some oxidation and polished them back up. They are not perfect, but they where only $300.

Ok you win, I am the only one with more money than brains!

Need to install the blower, prime the motor, and the new -10 fuel line from the cell to the filter tomorrow and start it up!

Looking great Billy, good luck with the start up!

Startup went well. The motor is alive! I have one small issue though, as I always do. I am getting a P0151 cell and have already tried swapping the o2s side to side. I have sent a data log to Manuel for more input. I feel like I have an injector open.

Congrats on finally cranking it back up! Damn those CEL's LOL!

Looking like an injector is stuck open. I'm going to pull them all and have them cleaned.

After the issues with fueling issues on the last set up, I can't help but think these 1300s may have been maxed out. Everyone I talked to said 1k + rwhp on e85 on these things, idk. Thinking about ordering some ID1700s and calling it a day. I can have the 1300s checked and resell them...

 

[05stroker]

Just dropped off the 1300s at the injector shop to be cleaned and flowed before and after the cleaning.

Another thing that has me a bit pissed this morning is, my fuel lines. Before switching to e85, I called Jegs and asked them if they where Ethanol and E85 compatible and was told yes. Well yesterday before startup, I ran the fuel pumps and had three different hosts leaking. The hoses where hard and stiff. I have the Jegs Pro Flow 200 Series line. So today I call Jegs and question what I was told and they now say this fuel line is not compatible with E85. So now I need to change all my SS braided lines after just running a brand new -10 feed from the cell in the trunk!

Wow, that is a bunch of BS!

They should send you the right rated hose for free after confirming the wrong hose. Good to catch it now.

The only fuel line I would run with E85 is the Fragola 6000 series PTFE line. That's what I have in my car and it's been trouble free. (well the fuel line anyway).

Also, did you ever add vent(s) to your fuel cell? I remember at one point not seeing any separate vent on it, only the little one on the fill cap. I have been running a -6 vent but now with the big block going in I may need to run 2 of them. I use a 2-way check valve on the vent so the fuel isn't exposed to open air when sitting.

It was 2yrs ago when I asked them.

I will look into that line. Jegs has another line in there extreme series that is good for e85, but it is black nylon and I really like my all SS braided lines. As for the cell, yes I did install a -10 vent hose with a rollover valve last year.

 

[05stroker]

This is the line I'm talking about. It can be used with all the high dollar hose ends I already have.http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stor...tId=2674553&storeId=10001&sType=&pgGrp=search

Jeremy at S&H has e85 compatible fuel line, which is where I got mine. It's black though, called "Starlite". No local speed shops have any idea what I'm talking about when I tried to get a few feet though, just black or ss.

Cool looking line. Hopefully it works as well as they say. I do hate assembling the hose ends on the PTFE line I use...much more difficult than the normal rubber AN line.

I'll take the 1300s off of you if you give me a police discount. That's the only major thing holding me from e85 & 1000 to the tire

Glad to see progress

I just heard from the shop I took them to that 7 are fine and one is stuck wide open and needs to be replaced. I am waiting on a quote for some 1700s before I make up my mind.You have my cell if you would like to make an offer on the 7 good ones. I'm not 100% sure I want to sell them yet though.
