OK Finally I got this POS running thanks to you guys and thanks for putting up with my dumbass questions for the most part, BUT now I have one of those crazy boggging and shit questions, I have searched quite a bit and found a little but let me tell you some problems and such.
well it idles fine and even revs pretty good and I think it boosted to 1 psi while parked under no load I know, but still should boost when im driving, now I didnt time it, but it seems this is the only position where it really idles fine, so Im thinking im very close to the correct timing, either way I will buy a timing light this weekend.
when im on the road, it bucks a little, and sounds weird, will not boost at all, it will go from like 20 vaccum to 0 boost but nothing above that. a buddy came over and checked for leaks and shit didnt find anything, I do have a hole from a bolt in the exhaust manifold , I swear this hole is for the heat sheild but somehow it goes all the way through, I plugged it a little, but deffinitely not the problem as not much gets through at all,
also when I turn the key to acc, you can hear the FPR making a whining noise like its tryin to open or some shit, also garage smells pretty bad of gas so im thinking im getting too much fuel, Im thinking about buying an adjustable fpr with gauge, my buddy said that I would need a new fpr anyway since the walbro is pushing too much fuel, however Ive never heard of people having to do this when they purchase a walbro, so im guessing that the fpr might be bad,
stock sr plugs were toasted and couldnt even start the thing, so for now im using stock ka plugs, but will buy new ones asap, this is probably not a big problem right now.
I have a z32 maf with safc right now, I didnt mess with any settings besides initial setup, and im sure I did the in and out settings for maf correctly, I think I will buy a stock sr maf to rule out this as a problem.
so any thoughts, anything else you guys would reccomend me checking.
oh also, I might have been reading wrong about how to do timing, there are like 5 marks for timing, I was under the impression it is -5 0 5 10 15 20 but maybe this is for the ka, so when I installed the cas, I had the pully lined up to the second mark, but now I just read a post where people are at like 15 before tdc, this would be -15 right. all the markings look white to me so I cant really see which one is 0.
