Default The "TURBONOMA" is alive!

I finally fired up the engine yesterday.Starts up but gradually loses fuel pressure
and shuts down. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the stock intank
pump. I had removed it to get the old gas out. Sounded sweeeet! PEACE>Tony

So judging by your problem, you haven't driven on the street yet? Post up a vid or something of it. I'd like to check it out. That'd be sweet

After installing the new pump, the truck still wouldn't start. This time it is my fault. I forgot to put back the ground wires for the taillights causing an open ground loop. PEACE>Tony

My problem may be a bad starter or lack of additional ground cables. PEACE>Tony

Nice truck! One of the guys I work with has a 97' S10 with a 4.3 Vortec that we installed a powerdyne supercharger on along with a flowmaster cat back, no cats, headers, MSD BTM system, Auburn Posi unit with moser axles and 4.10 gears, custom pcm tuning, holley fuel pump. It will flat out **** and get it for a V6 hell for most V8's too, it stomps all over tuned port 350's and 4.6 Mustang GT's (stock) like they are nothing. Soon we're about to see if that holds true for a LT.

I can't wait to get my S10 done...

Well for the moment I'm depending on an fmu with the stock mpfi and a basic tune. I have a larger turbo(62-1),#2114 Edelbrock manifold with 65# injectors on the shelf. Waiting on a new set of ss headers. PEACE>Tony

Default Update

First it was the intank pump and the lastest bug turnes out to be the starter making too many amp(150)thus the weak cranking syndrom. Got a new one and hope to drop it in tomorrow. PEACE>Tony
