December 7, 200817 yr Author comment_295846 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. Report

December 8, 200817 yr Author comment_296170 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! :) Report

January 27, 200917 yr comment_311576 also made them for t motors, but turbo is ihi and aculater is hks? hmm tell us would you simon :D Report
January 27, 200917 yr comment_311681 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, 200917 yr by untubbed_20 Report
