is nice....

I'm not sure about in vic but there are a few perspex places in syd that can knock something up pretty easily. or you could consider the sard surge tanks which mount the pump inside the tank which is a good idea, and looks neat. plus being inside the tank surrounded by fuel it tends to quieten down the pump a bit. :D

edit: I seem to remember paul dirtgarage had a very nice perspex cover for his pumps and surge tank. pretty sure it's his set-up I'm picturing. had neat little holes with rubber grommets for the hoses to pass through.

Yeah, I think a custom one from a perspex manufacturer may be the go. I know there's on in Sunshine here in Vic, but I was just not sure when I'd get the time to go there to get it done. I should do it though as I need a second one made for something else.

The Sard setup is really nice, but I already have a surge tank, so I want to go with that. I just need to section it off from the cabin for CAMS approval.

I might shoot Paul a PM too, thanks Richard.

Yeah it was a Performance Metalcraft product...i think they no longer do them. The enclosure is required for all internal surge tanks that are not totally sealed from cabin to comply with ANDRA regulations. It prevents fuel from spraying around inside the car in the unfortunate circumstance of a hose or fitting failure or accident.

Looks the part too.

hey all as ive read some of u guys are in need of a surge tank enclosure if all goes well and i go ahead making it i would be happy to make more for others let me know

thanks Daniel

What sort of design are you looking at?

I'm coming up with a design at the moment Steve, and I'll work through it with Daniel. I basically want a rectangular unit that will fit into the spare wheel well, with a perspex removeable lid, like the one attached.

Hey lads just in case if you need another fabi I could prob help out (not trying to cut your lunch Dan just offering). It looks like a simple bit of kit should be pretty easy to make let me know.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
