Fatz Gtr Reliability Testing

[tweety bird]

Ouch.

[niZmO_Man]

How are your arms feeling

Poor KC, hope his neck is alright.

[fatz]

my arms are rooted

no ps gtr are shit

[Ants]

get stronger arms lift more beers?

This.

[fatz]

new ps lines in

just need a belt and some ps fluid

then to jez to have a new surge tank made ( i think the low quality alloy of the tank made by profab= corrosion on the inside= blocked injectors?) the only thing i have not replaced

article on cheap alloy and corosion

f**k you brad

[Calsonic14U]

Thats an interesting read mr fatz. As you found your fuel on the day to be A ok then this seems like a very possible cause. As we know doesnt take much to block up the filters on injector baskets.

he's the c#nt that keeps on giving!

[fatz]

he's the c#nt that keeps on giving!

yup feels that way

[MBS206]

It would be interesting to cut the old surge tank open after wards and inspect it Pete.

[fatz]

yea will chop and inspect

if nothing shows up she goes back on 98 before i burn the flamin mongrel the the ground

[Duncan]

I can't see why the surge tank would be a problem. You may not be happy with Brad but that doesn't make his aluminium corrode. Plus I've been running one of his tanks about 12mths longer than you without any issues, there are plenty of them out there.

I think you need to look somewhere else. Feel free to point and laugh if I'm wrong

Have you got a fuel cooler Pete ?

It's looking to me that E85 does not like getting hot and when it does it starts to lean out the engine

As for the filings, could it be simple a case of he didn't flush the tank or lines ( if using braid that is ) out properly ?

[34GeeTeeTee]

I had a lot of fuel temp issues due to dodgy injectors and kept getting major lean outs, mine was actually due to an O ring swelling in my injectors after changing everything else... The fuel cooler does a pretty good job now and on track it keeps the pumps pretty quiet, however it was only fitted as the fuel temp was an issue due to something causing it, not just due to track use.

The amount of times i had my injectors out was silly, turns out they were the wrong ones! They look near identical side by side too.

[XKLABA]

Sorry if I was a bit vague this mourning Pete, I was struggling to hear you, the cover on my 6+ is crap

Thats interesting Mat, can you explain the o ring issue a bit more

I'm in the same boat as Pete I think, the longer I was out their the more it played up

1st session car ran fine, end of second session ( 1st passenger ) it was starting to break down the 3rd session I got like 5 laps then I had to come 4 session I got 4 laps, 5th session ( the one I did a 1.04.6 in ) I couldn't even do a full hot lap

I drove on to that session and the fuel was already 42deg when I came back it was just on 70

I think my issue is fuel heat soak but I am very curious to know what the O ring issue you had was and how it effected the fuel for something else for me and Pete to look in to

[34GeeTeeTee]

Probably unrelated to your issues, mine was completely the wrong injector, not rated for E85 causing the O rings to swell... They were some POS 1400cc things!

[XKLABA]

Oh, lol, ok cool then, I have ID1300s so I should be sweet there

[34GeeTeeTee]

Oh, lol, ok cool then, I have ID1300s so I should be sweet there

I have the XSPURT 2000's and they havent missed a beat since they have been in

[Piggaz]

Is your mega pump going flat out at all times, Mick? I suppose on the track it would be going nuts anyway, the only time it wouldn't would be in the pits.

Fuel cooler ahoy!

[XKLABA]

PWM controlled, so depends on how it's getting driven, on track its flat out
