Hey Gents/Ladys, Well I have just put a deposit on my 2nd hand G6E Turbo and now time to start the parts list/ receive your thoughts on what I should be looking for. I am wanting to make just over the 400 RWKW becasue lets face it, it is just too easy to be in the 300 club Well so far its a Rapid stage V 1.0 (from a mate) looking to upgrade to V2.0 (what sort of rwKw's does the rapid system allow for?) or go with the race style Process West intake and battery relocation kit. x-force 3.5 inch cat back with 4 inch dump and 4 inch hiflow cat. Seimens Deka 80lb injectors (are these a good size or do I need bigger? I calculated about 74lb for 410rwkws at a .9 duity cycle so this seems right). Rapid Valve Springs. Boost controller (for the wife, so I don't have to spend 10 mins flash tuning it, I am thinking about an eBoost 2 that I can hide away in the glove box or similar). Ported rear turbo housing (again from friend). Walbro pump 340 (again from friend I don't know if this will be large enough though (see below about surge tank)). Don't worry I do have to pay for the parts from my mate there just heavily discounted. I am also thinking about a surge tank for insurance, best performance for price? I would love to use all Process West gear as I am a Wollongong local now (moved down from Cairns) and would love to support him? or if there are any others at the right price I would love to know! I think I will be in the hole a bit over $5,000 without the surge tank just for parts. As I am new down here I also don't know to many people and don't really have anywhere to do the bolt ons and would love to save on a bit of labour costs and know your thoughts on tuners local, Sydney or south coast. We all know that tuners that do the right thing by us get there name spread so I would like to hear a few. Most of this wont happen for a few months while I am hunting parts at the right price and working over 60+ hours a week and part time Uni coming up soon. When I get the car and give it a good wash and wax I will put up a few photos a "Granddad" Cheers, Allan

I was kicking around on the Radium Auto page again and thought that the following fuel pump tech info might be of interest to some http://radiumauto.com/media/techarticle-page.php?Radium-s-Ultimate-Fuel-Pump-Test-87 and for those who dont quite understand, here's the link to how a surge tank works. http://radiumauto.com/media/techarticle-page.php?How-does-a-Radium-Fuel-Surge-Tank-work-79

Ok just need to work out best way to setup twin Bosch 044's. Is the factory pump regulated by the Ecu or does it run at full voltage Continuously. I'm not wanting to run both 044 pumps continuously as don't want high Recirculating happening while driving sedately or idling. As well why waste the life of the pump while it's not required. Now if the factory Ecu does control the in tank pump well I can tap into It's power feed as my signal for the 044's and all is good. (fingers crossed). If it does not control the in tank pump then I need to look else where. Can I use any of the factory boost, map sensors for a trigger wire. Other then that I need to find a variable pressure switch that I can Set to control the second pump either by boost or fuel pressure. Eg set it at 55-57psi to switch 2nd pump on. Switch off at 57psi. Or boost sensor to activate 2nd pump at 10-12psi If anyone has done a setup in either way as above please reply. Interested in what was used as well cost and where to get required bits. Aother option is if I was to run a single large pump I still would Like to control pump flow. I have currently got the process west surge tank and worried on weather It's capacity is sufficient to feed twin 044's. If anyone can comfirm the capacity to be adequate please do so. Keep in mind I will be wanting to do some circuit laps from time to time not just drag runs. Fuel system required to support To4z custom setup, full port head.
