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?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
