I'm throwing a new fuel sustem in my tamed monster, I call her Gentle. I called her GEN originaly because the plates began GEN, but as I began to drift it, it was clear gentle aplication of throttle, stearing, brake or any combination of these was needed or you would be punnished....... badly.
At any rate, many years down the track, the engine has been freshened, ported, camed, ballnced and so on as is normal with all performance type builds. Something that many forget about is the fuel system........ so I have gone TOTALY OVERBOARD. After talking to my Head man and the Cam man, with the right suporting systems this engine should be capable of 800 BHP @ 2Bar, on paper. Even thou I only ever plan to run 1.5 Bar, this should do the trick!!!!!
Carter lift pump
Sturdy Surge swirl pot
2 x 040 bosch pumps
top feed 550 inj, ex GTR
fuel rail fed from both ends with a single return
Slightly modified intake manifold
70 psi fuel pressure
We were playing with it on the Dyno this arvo getting it sorted for next weekends Gatton sprints. Only pushing low boost for the moment at just under 10 psi. Trying to get low boost driveability for the tighter sections. 280ish rwhp @ around 4000 rpm at said boost. Tomorrow should be fun tuning at higher boost and revs.
