may have cranked it a few times with fuel in oil... :(
can't sleep at night
sorry back on topic, so you would recommend -10 as a minimum, even with a standard oil pump.
Quick question guys which relates to oil contamination. (sorry to go slightly off topic)
Recently I was installing your typical 550s, lex afm and walbro and my HKS ecu failed for some reason and I hydrolocked the motor with fuel while cranking. Fuel was also dripping out from the...
Yeah i've read that guys run a little over. I was under the impression that you'd blow seals. Cool, I might just top her up a little and keep of redline if I can't install the oil setup before the sprint event.
so I have been reading over this thread:

Have done some searching and reading but I'm still scratching my head. Hope this is not a terribly silly question but...

video doesn't do the 'closed' part justice. In person its a lot quieter closed than opened.
So far its been working great. Have had it for a couple years. Shuts her right up when closed.
I'll try post up a vid in a few minutes. gotta search thru my vids
should be no problems, but look funny at stock ride height.
I run 18x10 +25 all round. Had to roll fronts, rears didn't need a roll with 265 but I rolled it to fit 285s.
Here's what the fitment looks like:
UPDATE: After much head scratching and severe loss of sleep, I decided to remove the HKS FCON from the equation. Car started right up!
Makes me wonder why the hell the HKS ecu stopped working as i've been using for a year or so... maybe I damaged it installing the 550 chip or maybe the chip was...
I've checked for leaks by running the pump through the diagnostic block as well. No leaks.
Yeah I dunno either, fuel was dripping out of the downpipe but when I pulled a spark plug there wasn't a pool of fuel like the first time. Must have pushed out on the exhaust cycle...?
