RX 1 bender turbo only 2 PSI HELP

[dans2231]

i am only running 6 pounds i just got a gauge going to check the pressure in a few minutes should be 5 to 6 pound ?

 

[dans2231]

I just check the fuel pressure and it is just below 5 i am going to try it at 6 psi ? can you guys think of anything else ? how does the regulatur turn up the pressure with the boost ?

Full pressure regulator has a hose to the innercooler.

I got to look at that I only have 2 hose at the bottom one goes to the carbs and the other goes under the motor somewere ? and the regulator is in the front does this sound right ?

 

[BigDog05]

One hose has a T and goes to each pair of carbs.

The other hose goes to the pressure regulator.

 

[dans2231]

yes and the otherone is supose to go to the regulator ? it seems like it goes under the motor somewere . does it split underthere somewere ? And again thanks for all the info

 

[BigDog05]

Should go directly to the regulator.

 

[dans2231]

Witch hose is supose to be the boost one on the regulator ? the one hose that goes under the motor doesen seem to be conected and on the regulator the one at the top were the set screw is, is only 6 inchs long and goes nowere ?

 

[BigDog05]

The hose that goes to the set screw goes to the innercooler. That hose increases fuel pressure according to boost.

 

[dans2231]

well that was the problem the second hose was under the motor not conected to anything so i hook it up to the regulator I am hoping thats the problem . I think we covered everything now lol
Thanks Again

Hey guys we finaly got this thing going good. Went fishing yesterday it ran stong and lots of power. I was getting 100 mph in 2 feet of powder no problem. There is just a little popping wen idling I am thinking bigger pilot.
And wen i let off from WOT and get back on it she bogs for a bit ,but I think a blow off valve would fix some off that. I would like thank this forum , BigDog05 and mbarryracing.

Even though you got it running good I would do a compression test on it just to see how healthy the engine is. After running that high on the air/fuel it could easily have caused some detonation and it could get worse the more you run it. By checking now it could give you a baseline to go by at a later date.

dans2231: I don't remember where your pilot screws are set.

If it is only popping during idle, you can go out to about 2 1/2 turns or so to richen up the idle.

If its popping during light acceleration, I would add a second line to the carb slides. Just put an extra fitting under innercooler.

When you have the innercooler off, blow into the line going to the carb slides. I would bet 1 pair is rising much faster than the other.

One more thing: Have you synchronized the carbs?
