    Default l67 loosing power after 4000 revs

    Hey ive just converted a l67 into my wagon.. still using the ecotec fuel system. just wanting to know could this be causing a major drop in power after 4000 revs. i picks up great and boost even feels better but when i hits 4000 its starts loosing power and the gear change feels far away then it finally changes gear. it used to be misfiring at high revs to but i fixed that with some new sparkies. Its just a l67 running 8psi with yella terra split ratio rockers (1.9, 1.95). with a set of pacies.

    also anyone know how to fix a squeeky supercharger pulley? only does it when its cold.

    Lack of fuel

    they wont ping because of the knock sensors they retard the timing right back and you loose alot of power


    try some beltgrip of the drive belt or tighten

    did you change the belt size to suit the smaller pulley? the standard belt is too long and the tensioner doesnt work as it should

    the standard super6 pumps are decent for your application... id be changing to a smaller belt still cos if its slipping, the tensioner isnt putting enough tension on the belt

    a super6 pump is only $230 and doesnt need to any mod's to fit it in there, the bosch ones need some messing round to fit properly

    The l67 runs a higher rate fuel reg and bigger injectors,, probably a good investment
