Run one of our WR35FS Fuel Surge tanks, allows full power at under 10 litres tank level, and can save you 50kg or so in fuel load :blush:

Thats not important to some that dont race their cars (I think GT-Ricer was being a little tongue in cheek) but it is well important to others that go racing on the odd weekend and want the fastest lap time possible :D

Tongue in cheek about weight savings ? Who, moi? Last Wednesday at EC Burrows Drive day I did 50.0 l/100 (have photo to remember it) after lunch. How long would a half full tank last? 1 session max.

I must have had a very fast, clear run because I did 1:45 when all my other laps in heavy traffic were 1:51 - 1:53. Maybe I "cheated", I am a bit dubious about my timing skills using the on-board stop watch.

Oh apologies.....I thought you were joking about saving weight and money by not running a high fuel load!

The downside to it all is that as you start to get quicker right handers will begin to cause the engine to cough and splutter from fuel surge. Been there, done that :D

Run a Driftbox, takes all the guessing out of lap times :P

Agree

Just fitted Willall mid pipe, what a difference!

Prob need to get the rest of it now, plus some bigger/ram air gear at the front. The factory scoops at the bottom are screaming out to be plumbed up and into the airbox intakes.

Anybody tried that already?

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
