Hi guys, I have a bit of an issue with my LS1 at the moment.

we put a turbo on it (TO4Z) and use the intank pump to feed an 044 Bosch Pump through a 2litre surge tank, with 60lb injectors, it is also intercooled.

problem is that it has a miss in it under load, and apparently drops back to 7cyl (intermitantly and not on the same cyl ?) and leans out, we have changed spark leads, checked plugs, they are gapped at .6mm, and have changed the coils over, and tried a different computer - still misses.

it has all been checked on the dyno of a reputable shop.

has anyone else had this or have any idea what is causing it, we are running out of ideas????

thanks in advance

Not much detail there to troubleshoot from... so I'm going to do some guessing.

Does it miss under full throttle or any load?
Can you confirm you are using a 2Bar MAP sensor?
Are you still using a MAF?
Are you still using closed loop fueling?
What plugs are you using?
Is your fuel system deadhead or return?
Is your fuel pressure regulator boost referenced?

He means does the fuel system run a line back to the tank, or does it finish at the rail?

what difference does it make if the line goes back to the tank?

Righto :p.
Nemisis has his reasons for asking. Does it have the standard fuel rail in place?
