Hi folks, I am currently thinking about how an anti surge / baffle system can be incorporated with the fuel pump cradle. I was thinking that a simple baffle located around the fuel cradle, however simple would actually be quite effective. I was wondering how PVC plumbing pipe would handle fuel submersion. Anyway I'm all ears and would love to read some possible solutions. Cheers problem solvers !!!

Henz check out his 60ft in sig.I'd say near perfect. Cheers

Good on ya Chris, livin the dream mate !!! But you got some work to do to catch the old man. Cheers

Thought I should do a little investigating into the subject. Now I haven't spent hours, but the general consensous is that exhaust wrap should not be used on cast iron applications. Based on the premise, that during the casting process there are wall inconsistencies. What ocurs is the thinner areas of the casting will crack. The thinner areas become hot spots, so the heat distribution becomes uneven, causing the cast iron to crack. Stainless steel has no problems at all, as far as I can see. Cheers

Pirelli PZero Rosso for me. 220 treadwear, traction AA, Temp A. 245/45/17 Cheers

Which ones (part number) ? Cheers

Personally I think you would be extremely lucky to pick up a Henz's Ute. It very rare to find examples that have been built to a very high standard, and cared for by a real enthusiast. To the OP, I would suggest your timing is perfect, as this car has had the best parts used, and tuned by an expert. And beside 750 rwhp is an absolute waste of time on the street. Where Henz has taken this car, is probably about as high as you need for a daily driver. Cheers

Heat wrapping is a great option. It helps retain heat within the system, and therefore will produce more efficient exhaust flow due to this heat retention.Should also assist with reduced underbonnet temps. Win / Win. Cheers

Nice work there Kroozin. Chears

As the title suggests I'm after a good second hand set. Please PM me with postage to 4551. Cheers

KPM, could you please explain the benefits that your system has over the link below. Besides the fact that this system uses the 400lph Walbro (if your tab down the page you will see the other options). As it looks very similar. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/290811246355?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Cheers

I have seen a BA/BF ute in rapid yellow. Although, he had painted the headlight cut outs blck also. Which I didn't really appreciate to much, but it didn't look to bad. When I asked what is it his reply was "its a BG" Cheers

If you are venting catchcan you would run both PCV and rocker outlets to can (effectively two inlets, with vent filter as outlet). But you would have to remove the PCV valve, as the valve is inoperable without vacuum. You would also have to make sure to block inlet manifold vacuum line.This type of system would give you greatest benefits, but not legal. That said you may a potential problem with boost pressure possibly running back into the PCV, but I think doubtful, as I believe that the pressure would take the shortest route out (that is, through vent filter) Cheers

Anyone tried the Queensland Friction Material (QFM) A1RM pads ? Cheers

I have gone down QIK1's path, and use the NGK BKR6E's. Pregapped to 0.8mm and are $4.50 each. I figured if they were working well with 735 RWKW's they would be OK on mine. Cheers

I'd suggest your mates tugging your chain. I don't believe a tuner would be as stupid to make such suggestions. An FG F6 is going to make roughly 300rwkw's with a tune only. You need to see a graph before you start naming anyone. Cheers

Congrats mate. And besides nearly 400hp at the wheels is going to smash 99% of cars on the road. Cheers

Well you could also refer to them as visual inspection units, heat exchangers, or expansion units. I must say also, that I drilled the fuel filter inlets and outlets slightly bigger (approximate size of PCV valve inlet. Jet it is important to understand that these are in operation, when not boosting. The criteria was that the plastic was impervious to oil and fuel. The best solution would be the pipercross inline filter. But if it ain't broke don't fix it. And at $3 a piece you could change them every week if you wanted. Cheers

After looking at all options this is what I have done. 100% legal and not being a major modification, it didn't require a mod plate. Just to clarify I utilised the rubber elbow on rocker breather and connected piping with a 10mm barbed connector (throw the ring clamp on where the piping and elbow joined for added durability. Ran the rocker breather back into the airbox (as techincally to be legal the return was required to be in the intake, but there was not stipulation as to where it had to be in the intake). I figured that by placing it here it would have the least impact on airflow. Further I now have a self oiling system for the K&N filter (kidding). The PCV only utilises catchcan, and you will see in pic that I have used fuel filters on both inlet and outlet lines. Basically, these have been used as heat exchangers, but also offer better filter ability. http://s1191.beta.ph...245429023496517 Cheers

Good result. The reason I asked is that I'm preparing to get a tune myself. So I went down to the local tuner who had a mainline dyno. Car with rear muffler removal, monza cooler CAI, and a ported crossover made 223.4 RWKW's @ 5psi on stock injectors pump. He then informed me that my injector duty cycle was ay 94%. So its got me farked. But I'm not sure how that could be right. Cheers

271 rwkw's on stock injectors would have to be a record, wouldn't it? Cheers

It is about the ride comfort/ performance balance. I suggest that due to the increased tyre size/sway bar, that the engineers would have a softer spec spring rate, with a quicker rebound shock. Cheers

My guess is that it is probably running an LPG engine/ bottom end. But as Ralph alluded, do a leakdown test just to see where you are. As you may be have a cracked ring/piston, running such high comp ratio would possibly (more than likely) be causing damage over time. Which has lead you to this point. I also find it interesting that your gearbox is still hanging in there, at your power level. Cheers

Great show, just doesn't go long enough. Congrats to your old man Lazy, I bet his car is a "rocket". Cheers

BF(FG) manual diff ratio is 3.73:1 Cheers
