Nice work Gary. How does the vents perform.

Would of been easier if you just gave it to me hahah

Had a day off today, wanted to do a few little things before displaying it at Holden’s Back Home tomorrow at Peter Page Holden.  (anyone in SA if you are there drop by the car and say g’day)

Fitted the bonnet vents, I think they look sweet, the cut outs I had done in the under bonnet protector dont stand out as much as the pic.  I fitted the n…[Read more]

i have to pick your brain on how I can get the one controller to half speed 1 pump and rpm activate the other

gotcha.

Wonder if there is a way so u can cycle the pumps. So u don’t wear out one more then the other??? Hmmm

Cool, I guess there is some sort of gizmo I could get as its a bit like activating a shift light.

What did you use to “tell” it what rpm the engine was doing to trigger the relay.  Is that an ECU thing?

Lots of opinions on the benefit or not of running dual pumps.  With one pump, if something happens and the pump stops, the car does too.  On a two pump system if the second pump gives out it can be catastrophic.   Having said that tons of cars out there running dual pump set ups.  I actually have an email to Weldon asking them how they rec…[Read more]

Ian. How do you have you controller setup. What’s it regulating etc

I have a pierberg lift pump, low pressure high volume and 2x 460 walbros in my surge tank. I was planning on having 1 pump constant and then have the 2nd kick in after 4000.

My base pressure is 63psi then it’s boost referenced.

what could possibly go wrong…

Interesting, my tuner has mine at 60psi full return, hadn’t considered what other effects that would make.  Are the injectors designed to work at a particular pressure though?

Be interesting if anyone makes a simple little 12V flow through cooler, must be a reasonably common problem, especially in hot climates?  I know the drag boys do the esky kind of deal don’t they?

Mate, I seriously wound the windows up on the car and was screaming fuck yea at the top of my lungs when I got mine through and registered. Fingers crossed for you buddy when the time comes.

Thanks, I kid you not, if you look down the side of it in real life, it’s perfect, and I mean it.  Frank took 7 months to paint it, and that was a car that was basically dent free and no rust.  At the time I thought it was overkill, but here we are more than 5 years later and its still mint.  I don’t want to jinx myself, but feel like I am fi…[Read more]

Perfect then, nice.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

  Might have to look into this cheers.  Mine is pretty noisy at idle, and the units there, I just haven’t hooked it up.  Cheers.

Don’t know if this helps, but when I did my Varex set up I bought some of that stick on heat shielding and did the side of the fuel tank.  Not easy to see on this pick but maybe it would help?
