I think the fuel required to support 40psi is a little beyond a street car :D

You'd think so.......considering a top fueller runs around 50 psi....different animal altogether tho'

....different animal altogether tho'

snap.

50psi on an 8L motor with so much overlap the dynamic compression is basically nothing vs a 2.5/3L rb would be a different ball game. The top fuelers 50psi is probably 10x as much airflow haha.

Yes the comparison is absurd....around 400psi fuel pressure and around 4 litres of fuel a second consumption.

Nah. Going in next Monday for a few days. I've got a few other things I want sorted but I still needed to ask u a couple things. Do u mind if we have a really quick chat after 6pm tommorow? Or no good? Thanks heaps....

any updates?

I'd like to see a garden hose that can flow as much as that top fuel set-up! lol, more like a fire hose! even at idle it's crazy. no wonder they have 6ft flames out the headers....

wheres shifty ?

Here bro.miss me? Lol. Got car back tonight. They put a heavy duty 18psi actuator. Preloaded it etc etc. No difference. I don't think. Dyno shows no difference. In.fact less power at most of the revs. Maybe differ.ent ramp rates etc different temp day. Don't know. Not too happy

Ignore the dyno, of course it will be different, what matters is how does it drive?

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
