Damn, now i want to rip the 317’s and adapters off my truck for squareports. That lean dead spot off idle is the worst!

Awesome build by the way!

Been out of fuel pump for a while now. Don't really feel like hacking up the fuel system just yet so I snagged the MSD 7564 solid state relay and tested it. Appears to be able to switch at the PWM frequency that the FPCM generates. Going to install this weekend with the walbro 525 and see how it does. If all goes well, this would be the perfect way to increase fuel system capacity without getting too invasive.

This didn't work. Under pump load the SSR doesn't switch really at all. So just grabbed a fuel pressure regulator for it and converted to return.

Also...a large turbocharger is on the way.

Never seen anybody run one of these, so I'm gonna give it a try... 94mm in an S500 frame with a 110/99 turbine wheel. T6 1.45AR open housing is off getting ceramic coated. It's gonna get smashed in where the airbox usually goes on the Colorado.
