    Exclamation 1993 Camaro LQ4 6.0

    Need help! Bought a 1993 Camaro with these mods already done to it -
    -lq4 6.0 with 77k out of an 04 Denali Yukon
    -243 ported and milled heads
    -american racing long tube headers
    -Texas speed Torquer v4 cam
    -new double valve springs
    -3200 circle d converter
    -3.23 gears (2000 z28 rear end)
    -tru cool 40k transmission cooler
    -4l60e transmission (2002 camaro ss)
    -factory ls k member
    -ls1 oil pan
    -ls1 intake manifold
    -bp automotive ls swap harness.

    Initially only needed a fuel pump in it, I bought a Walbro Hellcat pump, and Corvette style regulator/filter. Car ran for a few minutes when I had the pump outside the car in a bucket. Dropped the pump in the tank, and after it ran it never ran again. It?s getting fuel pressure not sure how much, but I?ll be checking tomorrow. When I checked the ECM, it?s from a 2000 Camaro 5.7l. No VATS, I just need to know how to properly tune it to get it running.

    Pumps more than around a 255lph will overrun the Corvette filter/reg, your fuel pressure is likely 80-90psi or more and locking the injectors shut.

    Thank you, that makes sense. I still have a new 93 5.7 Fuel Pump but I believe it only puts out 30ish PSI.

    Proper fuel pressure is critical to EFI. You might need to buy a pump that works with the dumb filter/reg thing. Or reconfigure the fuel system to handle the 525lph pump.
