I have my power steer resivour in front of the radiator mounted to the support I got the idea from a 32 at powercruise. I have the plastic bottle and the feed hose to the pump runs under the radiator and haven't had any problems at all.

Onto the fuel setup as you can see I have fitted a type s tomei fuel reg. I have replaced all the fuel lines . Except the one that has to be submersable in the fuel tank to withstand e85 fuel

I am going to run the new walbro and install it soon . do I really need a catch tank for my setup to support e85 at 600 whp ? ? Or will the walbro keep up on its own obviously with big injectors

And I was thinking of running the stock fuel rail will there be a disadvantage over an aftermarket twin entry rail if so what fuel rail should I purchase. And with running the fuel lines as twin entry do they just go from each end of the rail and join into one somehow and go to fuel filter ?

Fitted my greedy oil cooler on drivers side today had to do a little modification to mounting bracket because i no longer have stock intercooler ,still need to fit up all the lines I had to remove stock bovs

Now in the instructions for the kit it has trust bovs fitted the stock bovs will not fit with the cooler I yhat location seen as though im running a single turbo do I need 2 bovs ? Or just fit 1 in its place if so what type im not into the wanky bov noise .....

Stock BOV's. Leave them alone. They do the job, spend the money elsewhere.

I have already removed them to fit the oil cooler as per grex instructions to fit it drivers wheel arch.

So I need a different bov to fit its the only reason I removed them so the cooler would fit . As im running single turbo do I only need one bov

My opinion for the fuel system is to run a surge that way no mater what fuel level you have in your tank you always have a good constant, pressurised supply of fuel to the engine

I would advise throwing a dual entry fuel on it aswell me and the girlfriends car needed dual entry rails at 460rwhp on united p100

the tuner said it wasn't a issue with the presure it was an issue with volume I ended up running from my 2lt surge with a 044 fuel pump -10 tefflon braided supply line to regulator.

I then ran a -8 tefflon braided return line to the regulator

I then ran 2x -6 or -8 (cant remeber what size I think it ws -8) teflon braided lines to each end of the rail

and a return fuel line from the middle of the rail to the regulator

for 600rwhp on E85 you will need high volume and good pressure so it may be worth running 2x 044 pumps and a walbro intank lift pump to keep the surge well supplied with fuel

I've just upgraded from a Walbro e85 pump to a surge tank and twin 044's. Car was making 588hp on the Walbro but it was leaning out up top. I wouldn't push one of these walbros past 500-520hp. If yours chasing 600 or more I'd look into an external setup. For the extra bit of cash it's worth making sure the motor doesn't lean out and wreck what you've just built

If you have blocked off your charcoal canister, make sure you have it venting somewhere. I just left mine open to atmosphere at the back, though can't say I highly recommend doing that, E85 being hydroscopic and all. Your fuel tank needs to vent though.

I have a 044 intank now

So if I just run a surge tank and two more 044s ? External osnt that overkill has anyome got a r33 gtr and where do they mount the surge tank ??

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
