    Too rich for my blood. His setup must be that because it analyzed fuel as well. This coming winter I'll start scheming again.

    Haltechs arent the only ones to do it. To be fair, a few opel vehicles have it factory.

    I haven't done much digging into it but I am interested. I'm very fond of my hondata s300, but I wouldn't rule out E85 for turbo if I can have my cake and eat it as well with the auto adjusting ecu. Hondata does everything else tho. Can convert to coil packs, boost by gear, 2 stage Rev limit, and full throttle shift. They have a traction control add on as well. If they do an E85 module I'd buy it.

    I'll go out on a limb and say I found the cause of the low fuel pressure in the Cummins.

    Say, is that a clogged fuel filter? If so, then that's why you're losing fuel pressure: the fuel backflows due to the clogged filter, and little fuel comes out.

    Pre-filter, I already changed the actual filter. It was so bad the engine wouldn't even run.

    It's Daewoo's badge-engineered Holden Caprice, not really a rip-off.

    Meanwhile, searching for that car came up with this car called the Veristas RS 3. Now I need eye-bleach.

    I want it.

    There's probably a reason why it's so cheap though.

    dunno, it could probably be restored. Just depends on your plans for it I suppose

    Hey, so a friend has an old 1963 mercury comet s-22 that needs a bit of work, so far what i know is it needs old fuel siphoned out, and a new battery, and the fuel lines need flushed, at which point ill spray some starter fluid in the carb after putting fresh gas in the tank so as to see what else is wrong

    Anyone know of a good guide for flushing the fuel lines?

    Assuming I can get the fuel system cleaned out, I've started looking into some power making bits. Set myself an easily attainable goal of 400 HP / 900 TQ at the wheels. It's easy to get, and it's no any unnecessary strain on anything.

    #5 fuel plate, valve springs, 4k Governor spring and some 5x.011 sac injectors. No turbo work, No serious pump work, Most involved thing will be changing the clutch out for one that will hold up without exploding.

    it's in good condition, it's just been sitting a while and needs cleaned out, gas doesn't exactly last forever (or petrol or whatever you want to call it), hence why i just need a guide on how to clean out the fuel lines and such
