Homer Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 i think the car is going to need an upgraded fuel system next. Yep, that will be interesting, will be good to hear what Ryan finds once the boost and power starts to go up. So far the stock system seems to be good for 550-600bhp, but it's got to be getting near it's limits. Will be nice to have some proof from a real world perspective.

When we tried to map for race fuel we ran into some problems, i think you are right, the stock fuel system wont go much over 550bhp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 What fuelling setup have you got at present Jamie? Bone stock UK spec? Bone stock J-spec with Bosch 044 and 800cc drop in injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Bone stock J-spec with Bosch 044 and 800cc drop in injectors.I don't know why I thought your car was UK spec. What do you plan to change, are you adding a fuel pressure regulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I don't know why I thought your car was UK spec. What do you plan to change, are you adding a fuel pressure regulator? I will most probably buy a complete fuel kit with everything included. First page updated with costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdMorris Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Very 'means business' engine bay. Interior came out well too. Looking great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 The only bits that don't quite seem to fit are the heat shield and the oil feed protector, but fully appreciate they're more function over form. The engine bay looks great Jamie but I have to agree with Homer, the orange cover looks out of place. I was offered this but went with a silver finish, which isn't rated as high as the orange one but still plenty good enough: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Ryan has been here all afternoon mapping the car and sorting out the TPS. Orange pipe is gone now as we had a problem with the oil feed leaking today and replaced the complete line with a nice braided item. Car feels like a flying machine, duty cycle has gone up and boost had to be lowered as we was running out of fuel so thats telling me the car has more power now. To go any further ill need to change to a bigger fuel fuel system (currently 800cc drop in and bosch 044) but tbh the car feels so good i think im going to leave it as is now. Big thanks you to Ryan, top job as always, shame about them shoes though:D;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
