Do you realise how big the gap between 9.9 and 8.9 is? 9.97 is damn impressive for a new build on only it's 4th or 5th pass

Benny (the guy with the red beard) drove the 9.9 run. Keep in mind it only wieghs 1330kg.

According to Marty (who's active on another forum I'm a member of) it took 9*12hr days to complete with 4 guys working each day.

It's the new world order.

that oil line routing..........

Remove the bumper cover, rotate the exhaust 90dege so the bends are horizontal and the opening the in the tube is facing the diff centre and swing the muffler out past where the bumper would normally be (it winds up sticking behind the rh rear wheel) start feeding the pipe over the cradle. Once you've got the flange past the cradle start to rotate the exhaust back into the correct position as you wiggle it forward.

Use one of these to tap into the hose off the turbo.

Yeah we are taking about the same thing from two different angles, I'm talking about using a boost controler to maximise boost response without causing a spike. Your talking about tweaking the mechanical system to prevent it from spiking and sacrificing some boost response in the process. But you are correct if the hardware cannot be setup to mechanically prevent a spike no boost controller would help. In essence if using andyform of adjustable boost control you'd setup the mech side so it doesn't spike then use the controller to fill in the curve up to the max it'll allow before it spikes for better responses and boost up top. Given your turbo has been modded you may be able to build a nice curve with only tweaking preload. Btw I tune turbo falcons with hpt and have a lot of experience with turbo conversions into non turbo fors chassis, non ford chassis and na to turbo conversions. And I also have a history of fixing turbo conversions that some of the big name shops couldn't get right. We should talk.

Engine hits peak ve around that rpm and that combined with stock hardware accounts for the spike. Most decent boost controls have rpm based set point mapping so the duty cycle on the gate solenoid can be altered around peak ve to prevent the spike. Your setup will really be a case of suck it and see. The ts actuaries have move mass internally than a stock can, so while this helps smooth the boost curve they are sensitive to preload and will spike more readily if not setup properly. But it's hard to say what properly will be in your case. Who's tuning the car?

You wastegate plan will work fine. You'll be able to fiddle with preload to get your desired boost. But you'll be balancing a boost spike around 3500 against the boost coming on veeeeeery lazy and dropping off up top.

That video was the development engine.....

You can do it on an airport apron with a borrowed screwdriver and a 12" shifter if you're motivated enough. I've got one inbound via Australia post at the moment. The g&g ggt-101 that is

Because calibration of an engine management system requires more than a quick pull to give a prudy number. Engines are held for hours and hours at fix rpm and load points during development.

It's amazing how strong stuff is when you don't give a flying I <3 Bananas about it.

I've always been a fan of Everlast/Whitey Ford way back to the early house of pain days and found out recently about his new project - Warpon Industries. I'm flatout loving it thus far. The whole album is available for download for free direct from the group here- https://www.warpornindustries.com/mixtape/ Some Vids- and the whole album

Keen for the foam blocks if the whole lot doesn't sell. Assuming they are e85 compatible

Cheers mate, pm inbound.

Cheers, it'll look more like this one with the four retaining clips, If you don't want the harness between the bulkhead and fuel pump I'll take that as well.

Nah not the pump etc, just this bit thanks It will unclip from the hat and slide out

I think you should remove the wiring connector from it and send it over this way.

What's happening with the old intank module kieth?

Factory connector and vapour side wiring is good for 30amps. Chassis side wiring is not. I've seen substantial volt drop to high volume in tanks with stock chassis side wiring. I doubt it would be an issue with a 255 though.

Is the pump seated properly?

No, green stripe isn't submersible. It's a specific hose designed for in tank use. It's rated for alcohol and petroleum submersion. http://www.gates.com/products/automotive/passenger-car-and-light-truck/fuel-system/submersible-fuel-line-hose Needs to be sae30r10 or higher. I don't have a piece with the part number handy unfortunately
