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 :)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
