Small update: Things are moving along. Dimes is getting the rotating assembly balanced. He wasn't sure if he would be able to balance the crank to my 28 oz flex and harmonic balancer or not. He has seen many times that the zero balance cranks have enough extra material on them that they...

Taking Evil for another drive Tim? Looks like Sunday is the day.

I don't see my motor getting done any time to soon. It will be plenty warm (maybe even with mosquitoes) the way this is going.

I think mine would be difficult to line up unless everyone came here. :(

Maybe it will be warmer next weekend Tim. Even if your coming to the city and want to drop the stuff off one day so when were ready to go the block, hoist, etc. will be warm when I warm up the garage. Sorry to hear about the header. although I know a guy that has one that's reasonably local to...

i enjoy others ingenuity. I'm really looking forward to this, please detail here as you go.

Yea Imp, I really never counted on running in to this issue. It's a surprise, but the only way I can see to get the tuning portion right is to go back to return style. Tough to call it an upgrade when the factory did away with it a year or two before. I keep telling myself I gain a high end...

yea, the wording is correct...It's a bit painful, but correct. I had to re-read it also before posting.

That makes no sense. What are you talking about? On our 2nd gen's that are returnless style there is no regulator in the engine bay. Are you talking about the fuel pulse leveling out diaphram in one of the factory rails? Also, for your info, you can't just restrict fuel. It needs to go...

Ok, this is off the rails. On the 2nd gen trucks, the returnless style just has the regulator at(or about) 65psi, and the regulator is in the tank dumping excess fuel. On the 2nd Gen truck the pump IS NOT pcm controlled. It is actually still a return style, except the return is happening...

Block is honed and block final clean/prep is starting.

So, the Deatschwerks carries a 3 year warranty, and the Aeromotive carries a 1 year. That says quite a bit. The cost difference is also minimal. That being said, I already have the Aeromotive pump. The other one in my truck has worked for years without issue. If nothing else, I will have a...

I don't know for sure, but I'd avoid updating your handheld. I 'think' if you had custom tunes, and the dealer you purchased them from completed training you 'should' be ok. Pretty vague...I wouldn't update. I completed the EPA training course thru Bully Dog, and lost no functionality after...

My block is still getting some loving. Torque plate hone, here we come. The block is blueprinted so everything is in perfect alignment.

I don't know if you have installed one in an Explorer.... If you have, is this the pump? https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/dwk-9-305-1032/overview/ Does it come with a wiring pigtail?

Shoot..... I the pump just shipped. I have an aeromotive 340 pump now, and I thought I'd install a new one since everything was apart anyway. I better re-think that. Researching Deatschwerks pumps now.

LOL. I'm embarrassed for not even looking at original thread post date. Anyone who has dealt with James knows he has always been straight up and above and beyond for all his past customers.

Progress is slow, but Dimas is back at my block. The cylinders look like they are almost ready for pistons, surface decked, and the hole has been drilled and tapped for the knock sensor. I'm hoping it wont be long till the finish hone is done, and pieces start going in to the block.

Yeah, I was thinking of just trying to tune around injector data that was incorrect (ECU wont accept correct data) with the maf transfer. That throws calculated load off and probably other issues I dont even know of yet. I decided it's just best to do this properly. Start modding, and...

I'm certain this has something to do with the EPA also. They really went after Bully Dog (sct). You can google it. They really had to scramble to reach a compliance agreement with the EPA. There was a mandatory course to complete to retain extended functions of act tuning. It was an...

That's pretty much what I did with the bosh 60's I had. They are being changed out for Injector Clinic injectors since I think I have a leaky Bosch injector. The Injector Clinic Injectors have actual data at different fuel pressures. Problem is, my ecu is too old to accept the data at...

The 13130 regulator is rebuild-able also, and comes with gauge and 3 AN-6 fittings. That helped me make the change in configurations, lol. I have the same fuel filter ahodges uses, but I think JD had an issue with his filter element collapsing. I haven't looked at mine yet, but probably...

As I continue to flip-flop, It looks like I can use a less expensive regulator and go with the more traditional configuration that Aeromotive calls 'Optimal'. Don, I think this is the config you are used to seeing. This saves some cash and we are all in for that. I'll run my feed to the front...

The picture is a return style. There are different methods of accomplishing the same thing. edit: The picture is right off aeromotives site, and I'd think I can trust them on fueling related stuff. If it does create issues, the dirty work of dropping the tank and running the return line will...

My feed line is 6-AN, and I have the hard line in my garage currently. I'd to that, but then I have an issue with mating the pump side. Its sounding more and more like it will just be easier to run AN-6 return right from the pump.

Why do I think the return line is 5/16"? Slightly smaller than the feed line of 3/8". I can't find that fitting in a 5/16" :(

I should mention..... Here is what I have already, along with a AN-6 feed line right from the tank to fuel rails. I'm still trying to achieve close to 500rwhp. AN-6 feed will be fine for this. I would agree with you on the fuel pump wiring, as I can't see any reason why it would be different...

Ok, Posting up a new thread on converting to return style fuel pressure. I'm in no rush. Maybe towards the end of next month I'll start collecting parts. In the new thread I do have a question on the return push lock fitting size though. returnless to Return style fuel conversion

Quick background so everyone knows where I'm going here: I have a requirement to go return style fuel arrangement one my 2000 Explorer 5.0 as I need to get fuel pressure down to 40psi. The reason for this is my injector data is out of range for inputting in to the ECU at 60psi fuel pressure. I...

The guy I bought my brackets from over on rangerforums has a long thread of guys doing the install. It is messy, with guys adding eyelet extensions to clear the cv's and not checking travel. They were bottoming out their shocks, making a real mess. Simple math told me that was going to...

I thought about trying to pressure test, but the only way to test 60psi and not have the injectors push out is to pressure test in a lower intake flipped upside down, or build some bracketry ti hold the injectors to the rails. My fuel system stays pressurized after shut down. I confirmed this...

And, that's the rest of it holding me back. lol. Why go thru all the effort of the coil overs without rebuilding the front end? Makes perfect sense, except its another huge expense. This is one expensive mod :(

Yea Jon, it sure does. I'm going to need to do something, but all my money is going in to a truck that has an empty engine bay. How dumb am I? Tim, I'd want to replace the pump for sure. I have a Aeromotive Stealth Electric Fuel Pump 11542 340lph that has an offset outlet. I'm not sure what...

If I can tune around the 60psi and it works great then I won't go down the returnless road. If I'm still having issues, then I will go return style so the injector data is correct. At least then it's one less possible issue. Yes, I hope Andrew chimes in if he has converted to a return fuel...

Yea. This is expensive. We all knew this going in, but my eye's still water. I cry myself to sleep sometimes, lol. What I really need is a reliable vehicle that I'm not embarrassed to drive. Currently I don't have that. I did hear back from Tim ad Injector Clinic, and he says I'm pretty...

Don emailed back. Issue #1 was my inability to multitask. Don actually suggested ID Injectors. I guess trying to to multiple things at once really does create issues. oops. Those Injector Dynamic injectors are crazy expensive. I'm not to excited about that. So, I say to myself, lets just...

I want to see if extended eyelets are required on the bottom of the shock, or different CV axles. That's been one of the things holding me back.

I just sent the email to Don. I was hoping he will have something to say about it. I sent him my tune file and the spreadsheet I'm working on. If it is an Advantage issue, I'm sure Don would have better luck dealing with SCT than me. I just reset the injector values in Advantage to default...

lol. Thanks Tim. I just have a very bad feeling that I will have to do this. Not till its warm though, and by then I'll know for sure what I need to do. Once its warm, I'll also be able to look at your truck and how the lines are ran and adapted to your fuel rail. I'm hoping I don't have to...
