just need a belt and some ps fluid

then to jez to have a new surge tank made ( i think the low quality alloy of the tank made by profab= corrosion on the inside= blocked injectors?) the only thing i have not replaced

article on cheap alloy and corosion

f**k you brad

Thats an interesting read mr fatz. As you found your fuel on the day to be A ok then this seems like a very possible cause. As we know doesnt take much to block up the filters on injector baskets.

I can't see why the surge tank would be a problem. You may not be happy with Brad but that doesn't make his aluminium corrode. Plus I've been running one of his tanks about 12mths longer than you without any issues, there are plenty of them out there.

I think you need to look somewhere else. Feel free to point and laugh if I'm wrong

Have you got a fuel cooler Pete ?

It's looking to me that E85 does not like getting hot and when it does it starts to lean out the engine :(

As for the filings, could it be simple a case of he didn't flush the tank or lines ( if using braid that is ) out properly ?

I had a lot of fuel temp issues due to dodgy injectors and kept getting major lean outs, mine was actually due to an O ring swelling in my injectors after changing everything else... The fuel cooler does a pretty good job now and on track it keeps the pumps pretty quiet, however it was only fitted as the fuel temp was an issue due to something causing it, not just due to track use.

The amount of times i had my injectors out was silly, turns out they were the wrong ones! They look near identical side by side too.

Sorry if I was a bit vague this mourning Pete, I was struggling to hear you, the cover on my 6+ is crap :(

Thats interesting Mat, can you explain the o ring issue a bit more

I'm in the same boat as Pete I think, the longer I was out their the more it played up

1st session car ran fine, end of second session ( 1st passenger ) it was starting to break down the 3rd session I got like 5 laps then I had to come 4 session I got 4 laps, 5th session ( the one I did a 1.04.6 in ) I couldn't even do a full hot lap

I drove on to that session and the fuel was already 42deg when I came back it was just on 70 :(

I think my issue is fuel heat soak but I am very curious to know what the O ring issue you had was and how it effected the fuel for something else for me and Pete to look in to :thumbsup:

Probably unrelated to your issues, mine was completely the wrong injector, not rated for E85 causing the O rings to swell... They were some POS 1400cc things!

Oh, lol, ok cool then, I have ID1300s so I should be sweet there

I have the XSPURT 2000's and they havent missed a beat since they have been in :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
