Good news is...the major problem was fixed! :)
Here is the pix of some unlucky parts (?).
1. Dead starter: the one blew up on Taka yesterday...Did I mention this was the 3rd one? haha
2. Fuel pump: This one was creating the most issues on the AE86. Since it WAS still alive (not totally dead) @ Atlanta, the car was able to start the engine but causing the symptom like losing power, no boosting, shutting off the engine, and so on.
To give more details...since the pump was getting weak, it started creating a lot of electrical noise that affected on the ECU readings. Also when the boost hit around 14psi, the fuel pump couldn't catch up sending enough fuel... So...those made the car run like crap (?) and only giving 220hp-ish @ wheel @ Atlanta. And this pump looks like 1 year old or less...3. Front member: Found a crack, but it was @ early stage!! Our famous fabricator, Richey added some support for both side.
And...now, Richey is making a foot plate (?) for the passenger side!
This is the inside of the external fuel pump. Never seen before...Pretty interesting!! :)

Taka, you need Denso sponsorship for starters!
(or sponsored by Krahgen, but those starters die even faster!)
