I'm pretty sure Caltex are contracted to roll out at least 100 pumps this year, should put a pump within reach of most of us soon. Why don't you run 2 maps like me, that way you can swap back to 98 anytime...

As Trent mentioned, we now have race fuel similar to c16 straight from the pump for around 1.10 per litre. The more demand for the fuel, the more pumps they will install.

I'm also wondering what the new carbon tax will do to prices...

Back on topic, I would love to install Garrett housings on the gt3071 with an external gate, I know HKS have managed to do it so although it will triple my fabrication time, it would be the better option. I'm still undecided.

I can run dual maps and load them up as needed but it means bigger injectors in both cars (possibly can get away with it in the R33) and a new fuel pump in the stagea.

Until the fuel is readily available it isn't practical. Richmond in NSW is about 35 minutes from home.

I have 4 servo's within 20k's and more around when I drive longer distances. It is obviously much more practical for me. Caltex just fitted a pump into the outlet just up the road from my Dyno, they must have planned it. :)

There isnt one even remotely close to me at this point in time. Maybe once Caltex rolls out some more this year things will look up - theres a number of Caltex servos within 10-15kms of my house; until then its BP98 for me!

There are externally gated housings for the GT3071.

Obviously, I just meant fitting it all in there with the external gate.

Perhaps a gtx3071 would be better so im not maxing it out, 560hp cartridge. Cihan wants at least that airflow with a 0.82 rear housing, im looking at the Tial for its compact size. Looks like mine is sold so time to get started...

Oops, just re-read your post Scott. I geddit now.

Looks like fun trying to shoehorn something in there.

I have acres of room in the R33 with a HKS manifold and external gate apart from having to massage the engine mount to clear the comp cover.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
