Isn't there a bosch pump that fits onto the top of a tank? The gpN cossies ran one I think. You could soon knock up a bracket to fit pump to hole in tank. There's also a twin pump variant. You want me to look in the book?

Yeah it does exist Alanoo and will be at my doorstep in 2 weeks. Oh and the baffles worm perfectly fine, Maxr run his sc perfectly fine round track with 2L of fuel left in it so that in my eyes makes it perfect!

ProAlloy baffle do not work as great as a swirl pot; honestly if you're serious about tracking the car like TA or something else, go for a swirl pot !

Btw, is the option 2 really available from Pro Alloy ? I know it was meant too, but never saw someone getting one...


Joe bit the bullet I agree with Alanoo do it, you will not have any issues with lack of fuel when cornering.

But what's the point? I have internal one way valves and everyone using the pro alloy tank doesn't have any issues

Yea I just think the secondary swirlpot and pump setup is a double safety thing the intank pump doesn't work as hard (I still am running the original oem one) pumping upto the second pump/tank and the second tops up to the required pressure. my injectors were not maxed out according to CMS but 377 was left as a safe setting, I am certain the intake is now the problem not the injector size, you could run a 2.7 and still gain nothing over a 2.9ish pulley

thumbsup Anytime, within reason. :tt: :happy:

Biggest shock of the day wasn't joe's crappy pump but the £1200 battery a VX owner has bought for their LSJ conversion!!! :ninja: Yes thats right, £1200 for ONE car battery.

Weighs as much as a 2L bottle of water. :wub:

In France, the VXT's fitted with the PA still have fuel starvation (later with way less fuel, but still happens...) :(
(can't say anything about SC cars as there are almost none in France...)

That's odd... :blink: 377 is what yours is limited to due to anymore and the injectors will be maxed out Will go back after time attack with bigger injectors and a better intake system and push on with the power if necessary but not sure it will be

....300bhp is plenty IMO! :) but at 4.5k revs it will be a pain on track :( . Wait till you are re-mapped before tracking Joe, It won't be long, then you'll be flying past everything... :D
