that engine looks sweeet

looking good man, your car has had quite the transformation over the time you've owned it

Thanks Bodo!

certainly has come a long way now i look back on it. I havent been without my share of problems either which is all part of the process. I just hope that once the correct manifold arrives that it will be on the road shortly after.

Still currently looking into Fuel System setups and not sure exactly which way i want to go with it.

Ultimately im chasing a 700rwhp car. However the big limiting factor at this stage is the fuel system as I only have an intank Walbro 460 E85 pump. So I'd say the tune will be till thats maxed out. Maybe the 550-600hp mark?

Whats your thoughts on this external setup Lith. Is this surge tank too big?

Despite the cost, I have to say that I like the 3 x bosch 044 fuel setup. You can never have enough fuel and for 700hp your gonna need as much of it as possible.

I think that even after considering the costs it may be worth it:

If you were to build one yourself it would cost approximately:

3 x bosch = $450 (at least)

lines + fitting = $100-$150

fuel surge tank = $350

There is $900.

the only limitation is that the item for sale is already used and and not sure about condition.

My 2cents 4 ya Scottie

Its certainly the setup i like to Ants!!.. Richard seemed to think that my intank pump should be at its limits but handle the flow. But if i was going external he is a fan of the 3 pump system compared to the 2. It might be worth just stumping up the $$ for it.

Whilst speaking to Richard he said that the car should be ready by Friday but wouldnt guarantee it, not till he has got the motor in and started it up at least. Manifold has been put onto the engine and the turbo package needs some massaging for the housing and manifold to fit perfectly. Hopefully the motor will be in either tomorrow or Wednesday

yes, there was a few year gap there, a lot was done during that time just didnt document it.

Car has some BC coilovers, Its has a NPC single late button clutch & standard diff.

Unfortunately i only bought thenew clutch about 2,000kms ago so is pretty much brand new. Not sure if it will be able to handle the new power output

Dropped into All Star today as I was in the area and thought I'd check the progress. Good news!,!!!

Motor is pretty much back in. It's in just need everything connected up.

On the list for them tomorrow is dump pipe and cooler pipping, new injectors and rail in and fuel regulator. Tune on Thursday is planned

What are you going to do with the alternator to support the fuel setup? The Walbro 460 by itself draws huge current, using that and three additional 044's would be massive overdraw.

After discussions with Richard, Ive decided not to go with an external setup at this stage..

Gave All Star Tuning a call yesterday to see how the car is going. Richard advised that the 2000cc injectors are too tall and wont fit due to it fouling on the Plazmaman plenum. we have re ordered some shorter ones and due to this ive downgraded to 1200cc. Its not my ideal result as i really wanted 2000's but it will certainly do the job for now.

Car came back from the exhaust shop on Friday and Rich said the dump/screamer setup is really a work of art and the screamer runs quite long and down with the exhaust.

Cant wait to have a look. New injectors should arrive today and they still have to connect the odd fitting here and there and re-locate the power steering fluid etc

New due date has been set for this Friday.

why is everyone set on bosch pumps when there are other pumps in single form that will outflow those 3 like the holley electric and the likes....

1 lift pump and 1 of those support 1076whp in my car on E85

Got a link to this pump Damo by any chance? I agree with you, I think the bosch is an outdated pump but ppl use them cause they are tried and tested. I'm all for trying new age gear lol

here you go bud

Interesting that the 2000cc injectors won't fit?? What injectors and rail? I know Mat (34GeeTeeTee) is using ID2000's with his Plazmaman plenum without issues, but he does have a Neo and HKS fuel rail. But I would think there would be a better solution than having to downsize?

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
