Will be taking the head off in the morning so stay tuned

Wide band gauge is a maybe... Small light on the dash to show pump is working could be a must

Even if you have a light it will only show power is at the pump does not tell you the pump is running would you not be better of with something like this

Fuel Pressure Gauge - Autometer 7363 Fuel Pressure Gauge | AutoPartsWAY

gutted for you mate was going so well too. hope you get it sorted soon, if you need to borrow a piston ring filler or any other rebuild tools let me know as have some from when I did mine

 

[Steve220]

And I was banging on about A/F gauges and widebands etc to you, Rob and stevey B at japshow mate :cry:

Would have been too late on full boost. Fuel pump wiring is a sore subject with me as i've seen some utterly disgraceful wiring on extremely powerful builds. I'm in 2 minds about moving my fuel pump, but i want it at the rear of the car, not in the engine bay for safety measures. The issue i have with this is that it turns the fuel piping that runs under the car from low pressure to high pressure

 

[B6lee]

Thanks guys, yea she was going so well but even without enough fuel and running rather lean she still managed a 12.2 sec quarter mile lol

Hey at least it didn't lock up and demolish the engine on my way home

I'm thinking maybe an afr gauge but trouble is I don't like having gauges on the dash and I'm running out of cubby holes to hide things in.

Steve my 044 pump is just on the back of the rear floor pan and so far hasn't been an issue

 

[B6lee]

Oh thanks for the offer Andy but I won't be doing any of the build. Will be leaving that to my mate who I've known for many years

Thanks Ozy ! She is running 500 bhp

I know what you mean about ugly guages cluttering the dash but even if your pump is working there are so many things that could still cause you to run lean so the only way to monitor your engine for sure is to have a wideband gauge.

another possible option would be to run a wideband into the ecu (ecuflash) so that it switches maps if your afrs go out of the set parameters.
not sure what roms that is available on though.

 

[gooner8]

fuming mate. Hope you get this all sorted soon! Just show's one little thing goes wrong and it all can go wrong!

 

[B6lee]

Yea well turns out I was lucky as no significant damage was caused.
As it's apart going to get new piston rings fitted and new bearings so be good for loads more miles to come

 

[And@fcm]

few what was the thing on the piston then?
