Been a few years since I frequented this place, but the first thing I see is that engine bay, bloody hell it was like seeing a naked lady for the first time, fuel injected grey is a wet dream come true. Had to go back and read more, you my sir, have class  If you ever feel like making a few more of those set ups, don't be shy to advertise here, I get the feeling there would be many takers Cheers Oggz |

Bought the FE home Slowlly piecing it back together. A lot better bolting it back together with m6 guard bolts and everything nutserted . Made 90rwhp in the end but smooth as silk and starts first go cold like a modern car. Fuel pump is whisper quiet very happy.   Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk |

Hi All Nearing the home stretch with the FE It runs simply Fantastic cannot believe how well it runs stone cold it just runs perfect no coughing no farting. We had a issue after it came off the dyno it had a noticeable stutter from idle. We thought it may of been to much air getting in. Turns out it was fuel pressure. i had used a RB25 fuel pressure reg which is 45PSI turns out the LS 6ltr injectors need 58PSI so a quick search on google turns out a RB26DETT regulator is adjustable. Lucky i am changing the one off the FC sedan for a aftermarket one so changed them out and cranked it up a bit and it is perfect now. Only drama i have mucked up the tune by increasing fuel pressure so will need a quick clean up on the dyno again. I have been re assembling panels, Cleaning up the wiring trying to finish it. I have misplaced the tags off the car somewhere  The video attached (if it works ) is 6am in the morning 5 deg to show how well it runs cold. Amazing that a engine almost 70yrs old can run like this. we made 91RWHP but with the increase in in fuel pressure mark the dyno man thinks it will make more.   |

Been a while between posts I have been re assembling the FE slowlly. We have lots happening at work so not much shed time. I had to re dyno the car after i increased fuel pressure made 90rwhp so took it for its first drive drove really well very very smooth power transition. Only 1 glitch it surged going up a hill so can only assume it was because it was low on fuel or the pump sock is too close to the bottom of the swirl pot. Front end was a pain to align as theres no screws its all m6 nutserted now definetly a lot stronger together as you are not scared of stripping like the screws do.
