Ok I'm taking my manifolds off again to clean and reseal and try and get these damn six ports working again.
I did a quick search but couldn't find it.. how do I relieve the fuel pressure at the rails. Do I leave the car running and pull the EGI COMP fuse or do I have to disconnect the fuel pump wire harness or what? Thanks |
there really isnt that much in there, we usually just pop the gas cap off. if you want though unplug the fuel pump with the motor running

forget it, I just found it two threads below this one https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

well what i did is just let it poor out. Of course i had no other choice since i cant start my car. But there really isnt alot of fuel in the lines.

Alright, I just got done and test drove the car.. ****** SIX PORTS STILL DON'T OPEN!!
I changed the exhaust man gasket (doesn't leak anymore yay). I pulled the port sleeves and mani's, cleaned them, put new gaskets in with RTV, no vac leaks (yay) but these things still don't open. I cleaned the actuator rods and the tube thing that wraps around the LIM. I even blew air through it with no problem. I cleaned the actuator rods so they turn easy as butter, same with the sleeves when they're in the housings.. I have no ****** ideas left. I don't want to put an air pump in and rig it. It's cool to feel torque again but I have lost the high end I had when they were wired. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif |
my recommendation is to try make it electronically actuated, and I don't mean using an air pump. Take a couple AAS solenoids and rig them to turn the sleeves. Then just wire up a rpm switch.
|
That's a great idea about AAS solenoids. I'm going to try this!

How do know they aren't working? Have you tried the grease trick?
|
I didn't do the grease trick last night but the power loss up top was night and day obvious. I'll try it today but I really think there is just not enough backpressure. When I look at the way its set up I ask how the hell can they open anyway? The backpressure tube and ports to the actuators are so damn tiny.
