Taz_Rx Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Posted December 7, 2008 Some vids from yesterday's motorkhana...... http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b396/taz...rkhana/6-12-08/ Firstly - Car still has an open wheeler so I was half expecting to just light the inside tyre all day. Little bit of clutch kicking and it was kicking out quite well. Little bit un-predictable though. Was running higher boost for the first couple of patterns, knocked it back down to about 5-7psi and it was a bit less of a handful. Right, now onto my fuel surging problem. As the outlets for my fuel cell are on the drivers side of the tank, when ever you corner hard to the right you can hear the lift pump run dry. This is noramlly handy as it gives you some indication as to how much fuel is left as I have no fuel guage. The first pattern we did was ALL right-hand turns!!! You can see in that first vid that it only took a couple of hats to run the surge tank dry and start coughing and spluttering. It's really hard to keep a car sideways when you have no power!! :D It think the issue is more so the lift pump doesn't pump enough volumn, so I will replace this with maybe a much bigger carter pump soon and I should be sorted. :'( Apart from that the car ran faultlessly all day again. I so loving the reliability of this package now. You just get bit in and drive. :P Oh yeah.....and it loves the limiter!!!! :D that was set at 7000rpm. Quote

Taz_Rx Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Posted December 8, 2008 Good to hear you're getting her out a bit more then. :P Handling is probably the only thing I can have over you if we're not comparing straight line runs! :y: Have you done anything about brake upgrades yet? Thats the only thing really holding me back from having a good go on a circuit. Only really need to stop once in the box at a motorkhana! :) Quote

flat out Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 is that some thing relating to hks and toyota? Quote
madrolla68 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 :hmm: WTF are you gonna do with that. P.S. My clutch should be here this week :hmm: MAtt Quote
Taz_Rx Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 Wait till I take delivery and I'll put up another pic that will explain all. :hmm: Quote
camerondownunder88 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Long shot (as tuirbo looks to new) but in the day HKS made a bolt on kit cast manifold and all for a K motor turbo setup. Did you buy one by any chance? Cameron Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Long shot (as tuirbo looks to new) but in the day HKS made a bolt on kit cast manifold and all for a K motor turbo setup. Did you buy one by any chance? Cameron Id say that sounds right, though info regarding this is hard to find :D Quote
flat out Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 also made them for t motors, but turbo is ihi and aculater is hks? hmm tell us would you simon :D Quote
untubbed_20 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Looks to me like a bolt on upgrade replacement Sr20't turbo kit, apexi always use ihi stuff aswell for sr20 upgrades . It looks way to new to be k or t stuff. actually looks like my 2530 in sizing, which would be right as, they switch to the rx6 stuff after that with external gate. The hks kit uses a old t2 thing cheers darren Edited January 27, 2009 by untubbed_20 Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 i dunno turbo's very well, Just read somewhere before about the Rare HKS 4k kits... so what Cam said made sense lol Quote
