A surge is good even on a car at stock power level, I've seen them surge at even a 1/3 of a tank on long sweeping corners.

I agree with above, people spend heaps on coolers, injectors, tyres etc etc, but don't want a surge tank as its not giving them any extra power etc.

Like mick has said you can make 300rwkw on stock cooler and injectors, would he recommend it, not at all! Similar thing with fuel pump.

May aswell do pump & surge too then :giverose:

Oh if if I did go E85 I'd get one, cause you actually need one.

No you don't need a surge tank to run e85, you need more fuel supply... Put a Walbro in and you can run e85 up to low 300s

And those clamps are fine, if they're biting into the hose you've done them up too tight or the hose is crap.

Sell at repco I believe...

Why run e85 to make the same power?

Make more power on less boost

Tune more economically for daily driving

Engin runs cooler

Better in the environment

It's cheaper... Even though you burn more a weekly tank still works out cheaper

Noisy 044s are heaps quieter

Ect ect

Me, veva, frcfed and a few others, we have about 8 cars on eflex, and we've cut a lot if filters in half to see how they cope... All have been fine, but they are also all genuine ford filters.

Ryco, and other non genuine ones I can't comment on, but the ford ones are fine.

To save confusion or misunderstandings,I'm talking about caltex eflex... The barrel stuff apparently can eat filters and hoses.
