Wasn't a big fan of fluids, although my prof was german so all of our test problems were about beer and wine :biglaugh:. My research was in structural adhesive testing so obviously I'm an expert in fuel systems ;).
My comment was more directed at the "fail train comeing" guy who can't...
Pretty much every rally car runs a surge tank setup to prevent fuel starvation so it's not really going against the grain, although I do try to every chance I get ;). Scott is running the same setup (with the addition of a walbro in-tank) on his almost 700rwhp 2j and it has worked great for...
I did some rough calculations and it looked ok. The 044 flows ~4lpm at 40psi (~3bar), so even without a pump filling the surge tank I'd have about 30secs of fuel available which seems like a long ass WOT run. Am I missing something?
I'm running a stock pump to a 2L surge tank ($110 shipped on ebay) and have an external 044 pulling from that into dual -6AN feeds to the rail. I'm running 680cc injectors for now but am planning on running bigger ones later on.
Bout to wire up my Bosch 044 external pump and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to kick it on. I'm running the stock in-tank pump to a 2L surge tank and then pulling from it using the 044.
I was originally thinking of just using a switched 12v signal but realized that the stock...
Nice numbers! I'm in the process of upgrading my fuel system on my 2jz to run E85 right now:
-044 external pump
-2L surge tank
-dual feed -6AN, -6AN return
-680cc Injectors with the Lex/SAFC upgrade on 7MGTE electronics
This is the 3rd car I've converted, E85 is great as a cheap high-octane...
Lookin good, that cam torquing sequence is a PITA. I was sick of torque sequences by the time I got the head on and back together...
On the turbo spacer, if you're using the stock intake manifold you definitely won't have room. I had a 1/2" spacer and it was too tall, had to machine it down...
Next project was to get her runnin. As botched as the harness was we decided to rip it out and go MS. I had a MS-I I bought off SM for $150 and after a few weeks of research we figured out how to mod it and wire it up to the BP motor. We had a few things working against us, namely a ghetto...
Figured I'd start a thread on yet another forum for our GRM $2009 Challenge Project. Was originally slated for the $2008 Challenge but too much shit happened this year. One team member got diagnosed with lymphoma (all clear now), I got divorced (I guess still in-progress lol), one team member...
Beetle was just a cool car, looked good slammed and got alot of attention even with the rust holes and crappy paint. Really easy to work on too.
Definitely no turbo kit for a SOHC Escort, I modified an Eclipse manifold (flipped) to fit and fabbed a downpipe and tons of other stuff. It was a...
For the most part I've held on to what I knew I'd regret selling (Supra and my 4-Runner I bought 13 years ago), but I do miss my '66 beetle rustbucket I was restoring, fun ass car:
Also miss my turboed Escort at times, although selling it funded the 2j swap in my Supra:
I worked in a pharmacy in my small town one summer, have tons of stories...
The manager was a moron and hired her ex-BF who had just gotten out of jail as Asst manager, more domestic disputes than a trailer park in WVA :biglaugh: The best was the day they got in a huge fight in front of all...
Sounds like we ran in the same crowd :biglaugh: Luckily I was sneaky and got all of my vandalism and theft out before I was of-age and didn't get busted bad enough to go to Juvie... My friends didn't fare so well:3d_frown:
Personally I think it's pretty funny that people are up in arms with...
