What's up guys and welcome to today's video .
Hopefully , this is the day that we're going to get this thing working again .
So to fill you up speed , if you didn't see the last video , we changed , blogs , changed coil pack store and look briefly at what was going on and it looks like there's some issue with a leaky fuel injector .
So if you're not familiar with these , these engines are direct injected , I also have port injection , which in addition to adding extra fueling does help keep the intake valves clean because it spraying fuel in there where most direct injected cars you don't get that .
So you get like a carbon build up and stuff .
Um But these injectors are 100,000 miles old .
They've seen a lot of ignite in E 85 .
They've been sitting for a while and I guess they're prone to having issues .
So these are index eight , they've had a few revisions and they're up to index 12 .
So what I'm gonna do today is rule out possibility of any injector issue and change them .
So I went over to P si next door and asked them the best place to get a set and they actually recommended F C P Euro .
I knew that Jimmy's worked with F C P Euro before .
In the past .
I actually have a close friend from way back , way back .
Like I'm talking like pre elementary school that works there now .
Um And it's cool to support a company in Connecticut .
So anyway , I hit them up .
They were able to get me this stuff overnighted because I want to get this done while Jordan is in town .
That's my friend , Mike .
Hey , hey , Mike .
Hey , oh , I got in this box .
This is actually I got a new , um , it's kind of like the fuel assembly , I believe they call it .
It has like a built-in fuel filter that's underneath the passenger seat .
So I'm gonna change that .
The first thing I'm gonna do soon .
These victors , they're pricey , but F C P U has a really good price on these compared to anywhere else .
And the coolest thing is they actually have a lifetime replacement guarantee .
So for as long as you own the car , you can send these back , get a new set two times , three times , four times .
It sounds too good to be true .
But even on brake pads and oil for the life of the ownership that you own the car , you just send it back and they'll refund the cost of your next order .
That's pretty cool .
And I've never seen that before and I'm appreciative of them .
Give me a sick deal on these new injectors .
I've never changed direct injectors before , I guess .
Is that what you call it or just an injector ?
Yeah .
Yeah .
I mean , it's direct injection but I don't know if you call it a direct injector if you just call it an injector .
Yeah .
Anyway , um , looks like , uh , let me show , I ask her if it looks like a lean to pizza .
Remember , remember that earthquake ?
Dude ?
They haven't had an earthquake in a long time .
What if they had another earthquake and I just fixed it , made it go straight again .
That'll be something else .
All right , let's start .
I kind of get excited to work on this thing because it's like an adventure .
I feel like when I was younger I would just like go in the forums and I look up at Diy and how to do it , but I love just trying to , like , pick apart and figure out how to do it .
I mean , it's not like it's anything complicated but there's lots of little new stuff .
I'm not familiar with like freaking hard lines going to each injector and then got a little plug and it's , it's always an adventure .
Like , how do I unplug this plug ?
Where do I pinch it ?
How do I not break it ?
Seriously ?
How do I not break it ?
The numeral uno soon as this carbon build up , maybe .
I don't know where it actually sprays from .
It's actually a lot simpler than I would have thought .
It does look like there's a lot of junk on it .
Yeah .
This definitely won't hurt to do if you have ever done pulling them out .
You can just thread this line back on it .
There's a lot of drink on these Freddie , you know much about these things .
Where does it spray from ?
I know .
Let's look at the new ones .
So A P si next door is gonna code these for me because I guess you have to code them when you put them in .
I'm gonna talk to them and figure out , uh , I think we need to write down the numbers of each one before we put them in because I think that's important for them .
Oh , I guess it's free it to the tip .
These are way different than mine , don't they ?
No , I know we need to add these things .
These , I think are like , what seal the compression ?
They're like the spark plugs on washer .
That's it .
So , yeah , the new one looks way different .
So it's a really good thing that I went over and talked to P si because I thought that the tip style was different .
But is there a cap on it ?
Oh , my God almost .
Yeah , there's a cap on it .
Yeah .
I wonder why my car is not running .
This is weird .
Yeah , I wonder why my injectors not spring , it probably would run but not Well , remember disclaimer , I don't really know what I'm doing .
I was ready for work today .
Hope this would be much harder .
Got two more left .
One trick that made it a little easier for me .
When you put these little plates in , they can kind of be a pain .
So I would put them in upside down with the slots facing up and then you can just kind of rock them in a place or if you do it the other way around , it'll kind of fight you because there's these little lips on the injector that needs to get over .
I'm going to start the car check for leaks .
Technically speaking , they're not coded right now .
And I think the coating is really just kind of like accounting for small variants from the factory and it being a little bit bigger , a little bit smaller um in terms of the injector output .
But uh let's see if she leaks still partial throttle around 3500 R PM has a weird the thing that he's using looks identical to uh the thing that they used to like , check out my order at bread .
Now , this is the chick-fil-a edition .
Let's see what it does start .
Surgeon drive .
You hear it .
Yeah , if you listen really closely , you can hear the sounds of all the M 54 owners still crying over their engines .
I was hoping the emblem would fall .
It still , it still happen .
I think I'm actually gonna be mad if it was that simple of a fix .
It really took 10 minutes and it was just the injectors this whole time .
There's probably gonna be like 30 people that , like scroll back to the old videos and like , told me the whole time and cheers I should have listened .
Y'all were right .
I was , yeah , I noticed before when I would rev it to limiter it would make lots more pups and bangs .
Maybe because the injectors were leaking that much fuel .
I drive BMW two boys back with the new injectors .
It feels a lot more German domestic market .
It does feel a lot easier to drive than before .
It's much smoother .
The drone is still just as bad though .
Yeah , I'll see if there is clean now .
It's not .
Um , how do you say the power band isn't smooth ?
But it didn't break up .
Now , let's see if it like another shift who it does seem to drive a little bit better .
Yeah , it didn't break up .
No .
Yes , we will answer that for you .
Yes , it does .
What's cool is now with the flash you can , I feel like you need a bigger turbo .
I feel like we , we could limit the power by gear now with the new , with the new flash thing you think ?
Yes , maybe we try that .
I need to raise someone so I can tell how fast it is because it doesn't feel very fast .
Let me stop the log .
So , when it makes the big pop , that's when it starts breaking up in the next year .
Yeah , I heard that one .
Wonder if there's a way to fix that .
We shall see .
I was about to make some big excited announcement that Jordan's here instantly .
First thing he does gnaws through my cable .
Well , it just isn't meant to be .
I know it smells good but it doesn't mean you need to eat it , bro .
My rat .
All right .
So , what's the plan for this thing ?
Are you actually , are you actually gonna make a run ?
Like , what , what's the deal ?
What you been doing in the back end ?
Uh , I got a tune from my friend Kennet Wedge performance that if I need to adjust , I have to , I'd rather not though .
And then I'm gonna do the port injection to make sure the fuel on the injection side is good .
I think a lot of his problems .
Well , based on day , a few little things going on that seem strange .
Strange .
But , uh , part of the problem is he has a watt box which makes the car think it's misfiring without misfire detection disabled .
So , like once he does a watt shift , it just never recovers .
It just throws miss fire for almost every cylinder and it's just horrible .
So , fire detecting disabled , uh , new tune with some few changes and then I'll dial in the feeling and then hopefully it'll work .
So I'm excited .
There's hope .
This is the first time I've felt hopeful for this car in a very long time .
So I'm happy for you .
I'm excited .
Someone's coming to buy the rotor E F D in like 10 minutes .
So we'll see how that goes .
What's going on there making magic happen .
What do you think ?
What do you think in your first ride ?
It was ok .
It was all right .
Nothing too crazy .
He asked me how fast it felt .
He , I think he wanted to be like , yo , it feels really fast .
He was like , yo , he's like , how is it ?
He's like , how does it feel ?
I was like , it feels ok .
I don't know how fast it is .
He said like 7 50 wheels and 700 wheel .
It doesn't feel like that .
But we , you also , you also lifted like 4000 R P MS .
This turbo probably needs like to go higher or it shouldn't be grun you think ?
I don't know .
We'll see we're gonna well by we , I mean Jordan is adding more fuel and then we'll go out see what we did .
We're scarred with all these 1200 horsepower M threes that we're riding around in every day .
Yeah , please leave it like that too , bro .
He , he deserves that .
He deserves that .
What nobody deserves in 54 .
We're gonna go do some pulse .
I'm not scared .
I'm just saying I , what are you doing , dude ?
Are you doing ?
That or is that me ?
Are you being serious ?
I know you , you like you like dumbing the club , Mike in the sea with the earthquake , bro ?
What ?
That was my blow .
It just goes , bro .
You imagine ?
Electronic valve ?
It just goes , bro .
O T P S center bra .
I meet you .
You're the H S version .
Tell me when you're ready , I'm ready .
Yeah .
It just like doesn't hit and other times it 100 cloud based on that .
Um I don't know .
It doesn't feel really , really , really crazy .
Was that fourth ?
No , you shifted it into fourth .
Do you want me to do anything ?
You want me to try ?
No lift shift or wait ?
No , you thought was good .
Yeah .
No lift shifted the third or 34 .
That's right .
Yeah , I it has like a quick little miss .
How does it feel back there ?
It feels pretty wild back here .
Ok .
Let me make sure smokes coming up first .
Do you know how to ?
Yeah , I can see it .
No .
Yes .
100% 100% .
There is some smoke going out of that .
Don't be quiet .
I'm trying to hear the smoke .
So when you do this test , you don't want the smoke .
So the car actually runs fine .
It just feels so slow for something that is allegedly making 700 wheel .
So that's why we're basically text texting .
Oh my God , you just so hard .
I think my heart probably skipped like four beats it off here .
Go to this more than me and turn the no shift from 3 50 mds to 100 milliseconds .
Adam's like the internet says 100 100 50 .
Adam's like , I'm a driver .
Yo .
No , I'm like , how cheap are your boxes ?
I told him 303 $150 .
300 bucks .
I was like , oh yes , we're in , bro .
This , no , dude , this shifter sucks .
I hate all the self centering shifters .
You can't do it through the same as a sloppy old gearbox , like sloppy stuff with like new bushings .
It's like the best .
You don't think so .
I , I'm not , I'm not into the sloppy .
You're gonna tell me you can ship this 2 to 3 as fast like O E M one or faster .
I don't know .
We'll see .
I think you need so much force men these days and their Ds G si just go , I think I had two gum since the last time I hung out with you , dude .
All the gum you left in your 9 11 and I just fucking kept , yeah , there we go .
I felt good .
Yeah , they're all pretty good .
But why , why isn't he doing the pop stuff ?
Uh Total .
Uh Damn it , you're good .
I literally the gas won't do anything .
That's fine .
You have to plan on , you turn it off , put a neutral , turn it off and on .
You .
Me , the internet will be so happy , dude .
So happy you blew up my car .
I don't , I don't blow up your car .
So that's for real .
Are you sure the shift fix is enabled because that's your car shut off ?
No , didn't , did you shut it off ?
No .
Shut off , bro .
I swear to God , I didn't shut it off .
I told , did you shut it off ?
No , it has a code for a drop .
Oh , like legit .
My car is not running .
Ok .
You good .
Yeah , they have throttle that .
See if someone boost , I haven't seen that one before .
It actually , dude , that was out .
I want to know why he was not making the pops and bangs because I really need the flames to be cool on youtube .
Do that .
That felt fast .
That , that fell fast .
It sounded abusive to my transmission also .
Fuel trims were a little off before so maybe he just adding that little bit of fuel .
Yeah , we've called in help from Johan's but I know you see this car is actually making the power that it's supposed to .
It doesn't make the cool pops and bangs on the shifts anymore .
I think I know how to fix that , but I don't want to mess with it right now because the car is working the best it has in like five years .
So when you bought it .
Yeah .
Have you been in this car ever ?
Well , I drove it in , it was bad , I guess .
Uh , I found out that one of the things that you're supposed to change like right away on these is if you have the old style injectors and that was one thing I never did is that people are really mad at me for that drones .
There's no muffler in this room .
That would be sweet , but just two canned mufflers like the vibrant ones because this car is Titanium , isn't it ?
Yeah .
Yeah , it would look a lot better too .
Alright .
Let's see if she wants to cooperate today if your back is weed .
But it's Yeah .
Yeah .
Yeah , for sure .
I mean you gotta think , dude , this is a 50,000 horsepower turbo .
Yeah , it ramps up slower but if you start feeling it like the scariest thing with these cars is however the drive by wire throttle works when you let off throttle , when it's spinning , it is delayed .
So if you let off all it's spinning , it's almost worse sometimes because it keeps staying on the throttle .
It's weird .
It's like I could say , oh it's , yeah , but it's like deceptive , right ?
It's a pretty fun car to drive .
Oh yeah , I just , it's one of those cars kind of like the barrel where sometimes I don't feel in control .
Oh , they shut off on me .
Yeah , we're going to see if P si can reset that , right .
This will be Collette's first , I don't want to say first drive , but first driver , this thing actually works .
I'm going to see what you think you often told me what you guys actually did or figured out or made better is like a , is it a power ?
It just , it just works like it's supposed to do know how it was supposed to work .
It spins a lot .
What do you think ?
It's , it's cool .
I think you need ropier tires on .
I wasn't expecting it to be that fast though .
Yes , this is what we have to fix .
It keeps going .
I like the way that lip mode sounds in this car and hopefully we can .
That's a weird , yeah , it's , it's like a throttle thing .
Throttle is getting mad .
I think it might have something to do with no lift shift , but that's what we're gonna figure out on Monday .
Yeah .
At least it like goes fast straight .
Not good , but they are putting all right guys .
So I think that's gonna kind of wrap up this video .
But one very , very , very exciting thing that I'm stoked about the R 34 fab work is officially done .
You want finished up the other side of intercooler piping today ?
Looks awesome .
Just like this side over here .
And I honestly think I have one , one of probably the most awesome R 34 exhausts ever made .
And with the amount of money that these dudes spend on R 30 fours , it's like kind of crazy to say that , but Johan has just spent so much time and it's absolutely knocked everything I could have ever wanted out of the park .
And , uh , if this were done at a shop , the bill for the fabric alone would be so insane .
But I'm , I'm so , so thankful , you know , it , it's been difficult to be patient and just let him take his time .
But I'm so happy that I did , uh , because this is just gonna make the car that much more special .
Um , but the only thing really left , I know that he needs to finish welding the flanders for the Turbos .
But I think he wants to do that when the engines out of the car and he'll explain why .
But , uh , yeah , this means that come next week , we should be able to actually start tearing into this .
We'll have the clutch coming in for the G T 3 50 .
So we'll be able to get that thing done and we'll be able to start wrenching on the R 34 get the clutch installed on it , get drive train components back in , get the harnessing , get the E C U in and it's gonna potentially be one of the most progress filled weeks .
Uh , just because there's been so much fabric , it just kind of tedious and it doesn't seem like we're getting a lot done .
But I think so long as we have everything that we need , um , it's possible that this car might be done in as much as two weeks .
So we'll see I'm excited and uh tomorrow I am going to be using the Z at like a little street series comp .
So that's what you can see for that .
And then in addition to all that , um I just wanted to kind of give you guys an update on the 3 35 .
Jordan is actually gonna come back on Monday and help us dial it in completely right now .
We just have to figure out why I just keep throwing this throttle code and probably turn the boost up a little bit because I'm only around , like , £23 right now and I've run 26 in the past , but it was like 26 with a throttle closing and doing weird stuff .
So I'm pumped .
It's the best .
It's been in a while .
I hope you guys enjoyed it .
It's made a return to the channel and maybe just , maybe we'll , uh , maybe put the roof rack back on it or see if I can get the L MS to fit with some stickier tires .
Stay tuned .
I'll keep you guys posted .
It's been a lot of fun .
I hope you enjoyed this one and I will see you soon .
Yeah .
