> [@EJ257FTW](#): > > ok so my friend john and i were just at mackey auto sales in clifton park on rt 9. decided to take their blue sti for a quick spin for shits and giggles to pass a little time. just leave the “stealership” headed north and we see boosted camaro comming out of some side rd near exit 11… blew a u-turn and came up along side to see what was up… now mind you this is on a DEALER PLATE! The STi has a little stuff done like an exhaust and intake and a few gauges but its basically mild bolt on shit(still on stock turbo). anyways… john dropped it at about 55-60 in 4th gear and started to pull on the camaro from a roll :ninja . now i know the road conditions werent perfect but as the passenger i sure didnt see any wheel spinnage. car looks good man and runs strong for a 6 banger, but it definitely wins the all bark, no bite award. this being said… when do i get my turn to run you in my car? :haha :idiots haha…thats funny…cause I was tuning my car because I have had a misfire for over a month now…my fuel pressure is alot lower then it should be. Incase you didnt notice, did you see me keep looking to my left side seat?? I was doing a log with my laptop…You just happened to pull up next to me when i needed to do a WOT run…congrats…you beat me when i was misfiring LOL If you were listening when I went WOT before you, did you hear my car poping and making all types of funny noises?? heres the thread if you dont believe me… [http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39444](http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39444) K20-power knows I would smoke a stock STI from a roll when my cars running right 🙂 on a side note: my misfire is driving me nuts…does anyone here have a possible clue as to what It could be? I have had this happen before and it was one of my coil packs, and I replaced it and the misfire went away…this time, I ended up replacing all 3…didnt go away. Then put new plugs and wires on, and cleaned my MAF, still was doing it. Today I decided to do that log on route 9 (that road you saw me pulling out, i live on that road) and i noticed that when im WOT, my log scanner said my injector pulsing was dropping nearly 50% on top end and I was going lean as fuck…so right after the race, I went down to the tire warehouse and got a new fuel filter and ran some injector cleaner through my car…dont know if its fixed yet, but I deff. have a fuel issue problem…maybe its my fuel pressure regulator? Did it shit the bed?..I dont know how a FPR would act if it was going bad? ---

Have you tried, or brought it somewhere, to have it scanned? my dad probably wouldn’t mind looking at it for you if you didn’t mind coming to colonie one night.(idk how soon bc its supposed to be shitty for the next week or so) but he would most likely scan it with his scanner. ---

All the haters are going to jump on this thread once they get the time to come on and be the first to say “oh race is a race”, “win is a win” , or whatever dumbass remarks they make about someone elses cars…okay everyone can’t be as rich as you shawn and make their cars rediculous, and idk about granmassa, he just talks shit and bust balls for a hobby… Ok so STi caught Boostin at a bad time, and Boostin caught Jays05, supposedly, at a bad time Boostin - 1 STi - 1 ---

> [@tdi\_logik](#): > > seems like your fpr… is it a factory one or aftermarket? do you have an inline fuel pump? maybe thats takin a shit on ya? I have the stock FPR…alot of us turbo v6 camaro guys, bypass the whole FPR all around to keep the same fuel PSI at all rpms…cause usually the stock FPR shits the bed around 10psi since our FPR’s are vaccume regulated. I have the stock intank fuel pump and then i have a aftermarket high pressure inline MSD fuel pump…my MSD pump is working because its loud as fuck and i can always hear it…its just too loud that if my stock intank one was shitting the bed i wouldnt be able to tell because my inline one is too loud. ---

sounds like the in-tank pump is crappin out on you…either way… this was still a stock turbo, bolt on STi. and on a t-72 3.8 v6 pushing 2 drive wheels, u should walk a vf-39, intake/exhaust AWD 2.5 4cyl… shit happens ---

the injectors maxing will not cause the fpr to drop like that john. you can go to larger injectors which flow more and have stable FP. the pump appears to not be able to keep up with demand… time for a walbro 255. ---

> [@93v8clone](#): > > theres your problem duty cycle is to high and there fallin on there face to much to long my injectors themselves are NOT the reason why my car is breaking up and running like shit. These mototron injectors have been in my car for nearly a year without a hikup. high injector duty does not hurt the injectors if its for short WOT blast’s…like 1/4 runs. ---
