  1. I could be wrong but I think racefuels is supplying the V8's E85 this season and it's being branded as Shell stuff. Not that it will probably ever happen but it would be nice to see it rolled out at Shell servos and maybe create a bit of competition

    What fuel are you running? 30psi i would expect to see more hp than that 

    United E85. Its auto with a big stally so it will always read lower on a dyno by at least 10% compared to a manual. It made 376kw on 26psi which is why I asked about the exhaust restriction. Lots of air going in and not enough getting out

     

    Definately worth investigating if I can replumb the gate in its current location

  3. Interested to see what difference venting the gate to atmosphere would make with my set up. Currently running a 4" dump to the bellhousing and then 3" from there through a single round muffler after the diff. Single cam RB30 with a powerglide. Head is stock besides slightly oversize valves and a small 218 @ .050 wade cam. Making 396rwkw with a 1.06 gtx35 on 30psi. Basically stopped making decent gains in power with more boost and inlet temps rising quite fast. The gate plumbs back in maybe halfway down the dump pipe. Would it be much more efficient going to atmosphere as I presume a fair amount exhaust flow would be through the turbo at that boost level?

    I didn't have a chance to dump the exhaust last time on the dyno to see if any gains were to be made but I guess the stock ports in the head would be holding things back a little also?

  4. Running 4bar fuel pressure so a single 460 will most likely be on it's limit by the sounds of it. I was considering setting up a fuel pressure sensor anyway so I could always set that up alongside the current afr engine protection. The pumps also have check valves installed down the line so if one fails there will still be pressure.

    I'm still not sold on the proflow pumps as they are probably just like a ebay knockoff 044. Might be worth modifying the hanger if necessary to fit a pair of 460's

    Has anyone got any feedback on the Holley dominator pumps? This is also another option if I wanted to retain my current surge tank

  5. Looking at replacing my current 2 x 044's with a proflow surge tank that incorporates internal pumps. It comes as a kit with these which I presume are just a rebranded walbro style pump as the aem, aeroflow, etc pumps all look identical. Would ideally like to run 2 x walbro 460's but I'm not sure they will fit the hanger in the tank. Any feedback on the proflow pumps would be great

  6. With a Haltec platinum pro would it be possible to switch between 1 map with certain boost and timing settings and another map with higher boost/more timing that also activates water/meth? So you wouldn't have to constantly be using up water/meth and running the higher power map

    My HFS3 is hooked up to the map switch input in my PS2000. Mine is the same as what JGB1600 has done, the failsafes will switch to the conservative safe map plus turning the system off at the gauge will also revert to this map

    JGB1600 did you find any difference between the HFS3 and 4 or just the extra features?

  7. you have a gtx3540?

    I did a vl with a 3540 1.06 internal gay..t

    we ran 30psi and 20 degrees of timing on pump 98 and 450cc of water/methanol 50/50 mix

    raced it for a year like that. Went 10.4 @134 mph s.. manual.

    Only took it of to upgrade to precision 6466 turbo and did e85 as i took my water inj setup back of it

    cheers

    Pretty impressive results there.

    Yeah mine's a GTX35 with 1.06 T4 rear. Made 290rwkw with 17psi and 17deg on straight 98 through the powerglide. Once its actually got some boost in it then it should wake up a bit.

  8. Theres plenty of failsafes you can put in place. My aquamist kit has low level, low flow and over flow which is set up to trigger a map switch in the ecu. Also got engine protection in the ecu as a extra safety net. I honestly can't see it being anymore risky than having a pump or injector fail with a tune on straight fuel

    What sort of extra timing on average has everyone managed to add?

  9. My alt to battery wiring is brand new as I've just put a new engine harness in the car. Used 16mm welding cable which should be heaps I'd imagine. Is the size of the sense wire critical? I might pull the engine to chassis earth strap off and clean the connections again just to eliminate that.

    Also what sort of amps would be sufficient for my set up? Something around the 90 mark would be heaps I'd imagine or am I bettter off upgrading to a 105-110amp unit?

  10. Having voltage issues with my alternator and was looking at maybe doing an upgrade if it was necessary. What sort of amps would be sufficient for my set up. Car is a VL turbo running 2 x 044 pumps (1 is staged to come on at 10psi) , 6 x LS2 coils, 750cc low impedence injectors, Haltech ps2000, no thermo fans, basic stereo with no amps and battery in the boot. Currently have a RB25 alternator in the car which is 80 amps but my be failing higher up in the rpm as you can see in the data log below. Ramped up fine on 17psi but had a smaller drop in voltage, 22psi it broke down under boost.

  11. yup stay away from the metal heat sink ones if possible i had a few come in from other places with detonation issues and it was because they were tuned with too much dwell.... its a documented fact they have cost guys engines.

    we always recommend running the;

    C1512

    D514A

    OEM part 12573190

    and are able to run low dwell and up to 1.5mm gaps with boost.

    ​If you do choose to run with the inferior truck ones just make sure you keep the dwell in check.

    Just wondering what you usually dwell these coils at?
