Nice. Glad to see pieces of it still seeing action.
Wish he hadn't lost the Vibrant dual outlet muffler that was on my old GS. That was best muffler ever for OEM look and remaining quiet and refined without sacrificing flow.
IDK i must be stupid or something, but I cant install the pump assembly.
Is it the right size gasket?Quote:

Sorry I am not much help on it just didn't have to go through that I just left my pump in the tank and bolted the whole assembly up. I would be willing to take my pump out and snap some pics if you think it will help. It's the least I can do as you have helped me along the way.
Do the basic check. Take the gasket off and see if the pump assembly drops in. After that, put the rubber gasket in place on the gas tank then lube up the pump cover and push it into the gasket. Otherwise you can leave the gasket on the pump assembly, lube it up, push it in as far as you can and then use the nut to pull it the rest of the way down.
You could also try having the gasket half way on/in each and then pressing in.
Might want to wipe it dry and try just vaseline, I have had great luck with that on injectors and other stubborn seals when all else failed.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the advices. Still didnt have time to work on the fuel pump.
So i have good and bad news.
Good news are that exhaust is finished with a little exception of the WG dump to the DP. Also I have compression on all four cylinders.All lights work at the rear of the car, dash illumination works.
Bad news is that I dont have any lights working inside the instrument cluster (CEL, brake, alt)....nothing. The MPI isnt clicking at all.....its kind of disappointing .
I did hack the wires to the airbag module and still have to insulate them. I also hacked the wiring to the ABS ECU, and I wonder if that ECU just uses reference signals to it or actually there are wiring going thru to other components.
Dash is coming out tomorrow. I might have done some wrong with the main power distribution block above the fuse box.
your not keeping the ABS?Quote:

Well That was what i also thought, but its not. The ABS harness is a part of the dashboard harness.
No bro, no ABS for me. It had to go.
i don't know how many wires are tied into it, but i don't think it's that many. do you have the wiring diagrams for under the dash?Quote:

Exhaust looks a bit low in pics. The true test is the random speed bump that shows up while driving.
The fuel pump was a hassle for me as well, I purchased a new gasket and used some vaseline, when installing. It must be tight or gas will leak through it which makes the install difficult. I got it installed god though and don't have any leaks back there, also reused gas carbon box from original 7g setup. Got to pay close attention to feed, return and relief filter gas lines.
Welded the dump tube to the DP, got it painted and wrapped.

Got lucky at the junkyard today - picked up rear LSD with cups for $100 and a fuel pump assembly with Wally 255 for $20.
It was 2 hour fighting with the rust, but the diff came out.

The new pump got installed w/o a problem

On a side note - I fixed the electrical issue that the car was having. Now it all lights up and works. Didnt need to pull another harness from the j/y.
I have a few more things on the checklist and I will attempt to start it sometime next week.
Thats awesome man, Im really looking forward the a video. hopefully I can start doing some of the stuff you're doing soon!
Nice discovery on the skirts..like the color choices under the hood too
She's alive! Still need to sort out a few things, but im happy with what I did today.
Wow, hardly no cranking, she just fired right on up!! Congrats Chris!
Nice. Is your iac ok? She is not going high rev at cold start! 1500-2k rev
Quick crank. Good job bro.
Yeah I Primed the fuel rail by jumping the wires at the pump and thats why it started right up.
No IAC bro, its all deleted, but my TPS is shot so I unplugged it for he start up
Umm no iac. Why. Special tb?
Its a DSM thing - get everything deleted and then it starts a bit harder but idle is always dead on after it warms up.
Damn it,i want it.Stop teasing me lol.I miss mine and i miss it more now thanks to you lol.It sounds good,open downpipe?
yeap open DP.
I knew it,it just had that deep tone to it.It looks and sounds good man.Quote:

Yeah I deleted my iac and fiav on my car too. Biggest reason I did it was for a solid idle, and so that the IAC would stop frying the 1g ecu.
Glad to see it running.
What happen to your car?Quote:

Theres a terminal(fuel pump check terminal) on the firewall (black wire w/blue stripe iirc) all you have to do is energize that and it will cycle the pump. That what I always used to set my fuel pressure on the afpr.Quote:
