Sourced these fittings locally today together with some clear hose. Gonna put the hose in between the ip and return lines to check for air before I try the new fittings. They are not 100% correct, but the old school guys in the shop I was said they thought it would work as long as I applied some...

A hah. I better see if I can source some better ones, then. Is there a special kind you would recommend?

Ok. Maybe my readings aren´t that crisis after all, then. Thats good to know. :) Driving easy is usually the best, but I´d like to know that the IP isn´t suffering. ;)

That´s interesting! Does it stay there steady, or does it drop when you drive uphill or give a lot of throttle? Hmmm...maybe I´ve shot under again then, if I´m aiming for 5-9psi?

So after I got home from my holidays last week, I had gotten the new walbro frb-5 pumps and parts! Got to it today, thinking it was gonna be a big step forward in the wvo-world. I was wrong. The new walbros give me only 4psi at the pump head, sometimes even down 2.8 to just before the fuel...

I´ve kept the bad glows somewhere - I was thinking I was gonna try to return them, but in the end of the day I can´t be bothered. I ordered mine via RockAuto, so maybe it´s worth a shot? I´m kind of thinking it´s gonna cost me more to ship them back to the US than the refund would be. It´s...

Progress on the wvo system today..or at least so I thought. Collected the new walbros, and the fittings had arrived, so I was eager to get them mounted! Got the old pumps out of the car, and measured for the new bracket and made holes to mount it. I was a bit to quick - I´ve mirrored the...

I found +12v on ignition in the convenience center. Im not quite sure about the dash lighting power - perhaps the hvac control would be an easy place to tap it? As for grounds, its a question about whats the easiest, I guess!? Self tapper into the closest sheet metal should do the trick. :)

Thats Sounds like an advanced setup indeed! 😬 I will watch the temps closely with the new t-stats. As Im not really hauling any trailers, Im not to worried, but I will definitely keep a close eye on the temps as the spring arrives! :)

That´s a cool test procedure - so simple, so effective! I´m excited to see if the change does anything or not - I suppose I´ll have them by me mid next week or so...the joy of shopping overseas parts! ;)

Thanks for the tip! I´ve ordered some thermostats now, so I´m excited to see if it makes any difference, or if I´ve just spent money on extra work! ;)

Cutting it with diesel is definitely under consideration. I do believe that the system will work when I get my lift pumps, and I do believe I will be able to run it with adequate temps even without cutting it with diesel. I am however thinking that I might end up adding 10% diesel or so to the...

Ill definitely start Looking for used Edge units for sale here in Norway! And who knows, there might be a cheepo Bluetooth thingie available that would work until I manage to save up for one(the list of things to but for the car just keeps getting longer the more money I trow at it, haha). Ive...

That Edge monitor looked very nifty indeed! :) have you tried it in a gmt400? For all i know, these obd2 Bluetooth dongles my be able to read interesting data as well? I have an utcomp 3 pro from reveltronics installed at the moment for all my temp and pressure Gauges for the wvo install. Ive...

Thats great to know! I dont know what thermostats is in it now - but I suspect they have never been changed. Seeing that my measurement is at the side of the car right now, it might just be a temp drop down there as well. I suppose its another one of these "ill never know If it changes...

Thats a good point. I've made some effort to protect the ip from the wvo(Even though it is abuse in the end); by preheating the diesel to avoid thermal shock during switchover. I have not started driving in wvo yet - i am struggeling with getting the system up running. Currently waiting for...

I have to admit that with my limited car knowledge, i very often look up the part i need on rockauto, try to compare the specs of the part - but end up buying ac delco even though the spec would let me buy a cheaper one. I do believe a bit in "what you pay is what you get" in this world of cheap...

Hah! Would they be very preferable compared to the ac delcos? I mean, If Im first swapping the thermostats, might as well go all the way..

I was thinking AC Delco. For some weird reason, I trust ac delco parts. I probably shouldn't, haha! Rockauto has a "premium" thermostat called STANT 45359 which looks tempting for $4, but I was still thinking I´d buy the ac delco one. Yeah, I was really disappointed buy the quality of the...
