Indeed. Capped to 300bhp and a very low rev limit

Gutted for you! I thought you already had a PA fuel tank fitted? On the bright side at least 3 weeks isnt too long and if all goes well were still on for Oulton. Cant wait to see it in action. Keep your head up bud, your soooo close!

Indeed.

So if I can get Pro Alloy to stall on the tank, I may be in with a chance at Cadwell...

[The Batman]

Yeah I do but have since ordered one that has 4 one way valves all leading into the middle with a outlet at the bottom which will feed a Bosch 044 pump which will then go straight to the fuel lines. So my 48l pro alloy tank with internal one way valves practically brand new tank will be for sale very soon

You can have the whole competition at this rate as I aint really in the mood

[Exmantaa]

Thought you had the same uprated pump as Nick is running? Walbro 255??

Walbro vs. Bosch 044:

I can imagine Joe, don't lose hope. What you are doing is breaking new ground with everything you have done and with that come teething issues. It will be well worth it once you get to the end, trust me.

The reaction your car will get at TA will be incredible and you will feel so rightfully proud of what you have achieved.

Which should be good for 500BHP..?

Is there pump or tank to pump supply issues as the Walbro is rated well in excess of what we need. Did Jon do a fuel pressure check?

[siztenboots]

yes, walbro hp 255 is good for 500bhp at 13.5volts , must be something else

[Exmantaa]

I thought Cliffie supply's a Walbro 255HP and that should be enough to run 4 blue VXR injectors flat out (They flow less, but say 470cc/min, so 530cc @ 3.8bar base pressure)
Tat's 4 x 530c/min x 60min/hr = 127 ltr/hr fuel.
Even at 90 psi fuel pressure the Walbro should still supply you 150ltr/hr...

You sure you have enough power to the pump? Or some filter blokkage??

Edit; too slow. Like they said, the Walbro is good for 500HP. It is something else.
