What's the logic there? Pump stops pumping? OR that it pumps at low pressure and the motor runs lean? (I run a wideband and have the knock reading on the SAFC as the main reading when driving.

I'd of thought that if a drop in fuel pressure was going to blow my motor up it would have happened already with the few times I've had fuel surge issues and misfired because of it.

In which case I'd do the same thing as I did then, stop driving.

Not disagreeing, just opening up for discussion.

Just thinking, should I also be considering an adjustable regulator or do I just assume the stock one is fine?

I'm also on the fence about whether this Bosch pump will flow enough fuel, I realise the kpa ratings are within the limits I need (supposedly 300kpa base fuel pressure plus another 120 or so to account for boost) but the LPH just looks so low.

Stock reg is fine. Why dont you just buy 044 there cheap enough?

Any issues with mounting the surge tank in this location?

Hole in the spare wheel well for hoses.

The surge tank plate prohibits me putting it in the wheel well without decent modification and new fittings between the pump and surge tank.

Here's my surge tank located in a wagon - so I have had to make a steel cover for it.

Do you guys know what the rules are on sealing the boot in? I'm planning on using just an aluminium sheet over the rear firewall, do I need to cover the parcel shelf also as it has those speaker holes. I assume so?

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
