Hahahaha, thanks guys.

mmmm burnouts.... i think i almost enjoy that part more then racing itself.. :laugh: but nah this saturday we will be keeping them short... have a bit of a cooling issue and i really want to get it down the track..

Hahaha, yeah... well diference between mechanical and EFI methanol is the injectors are not flowing continually, only opening and closing when required, therefor there is no excess build of methanol in the intake or heads and thus most of the cooling advantages are lost....

Basically we think either the water pump is cavitating or the thermostat is restrictrive or not opening fast enough. We think the water in the engine is boiling before it gets time to circulate. This was only evident on the dyno and our few burnout street tests did not show the same result... So for now were just going to pull the thermostat out and build a 4 or 5 litre overflow tonight to hopefully get it down the track. The nationals will be the first major sponsored outing, so weather its going to explode or not i have to make a showing for the sponsors... personally either way i dont mind as they have bought a box for it... wouldnt phase me if the car did explode on the line at the nats as i would just sit in the box and drink piss all weekend.... but to make a good impression it has to at least make it to the line.

hey i was going to ask where i could find the story behind your car but i just found it in your signiture lol. will you be there on sunday?

:):P:sick: :sick:

10.45 @ 131MPH straight out of the box backed up by a 10.47 @ 131MPH

only got 2 runs in. still have a cooling system issue... and both runs werent wonderful, so there may still be a little more left in it with some fine tuning. Absolutely stoked!!! car performed like a dream.

AzzuraA: No worries mate, pm any questions you have..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
