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 ??

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
