retro-xr6t Donating Members 95 Member For: 14y 9m 27d Gender: Male Posted 08/10/13 02:50 AM Author Share Posted 08/10/13 02:50 AM (edited) Powercruise just happened! Had a pretty good time. Didn't come without dramas though. Friday I was on limiter down the main straight in the wet and noticed coolant burning smell and temps were rising, so pulled back into the pits to find a welsch plug had fallen out of the back of the block in the bellhousing. Raced to repco got another one and spent all of friday night replacing it, then with no sleep flogged it all day saturday with no dramas. Sunday morning saw a fuel blockage, luckily for me I clued onto it pretty quick and Justin from BYE kept the tune really safe so the motor was left intact. Turned out my 10 micron filter after the pump was completely blocked. So ran no filter after the pump and kept the 100 micron filter between the tank and the pump in there. Then in the last cruise session kept popping a cooler pipe at full boost. Had a massive load of help from a lot of epic people over the weekend who helped me get it back on the road so I could hand out chop chop. Then last night went in for a dyno session to make sure everything was sweet still and setup 2 step, replaced the 10 micron filter with another 10 micron in a bigger unit with more flow, put it back together but fuel pressure was low and was leaning out at just over idle. So pulled it apart again, checked 100 micron filter before the pump and that was heavily blocked, so cleaned that out, put it back together and I kinked a braided line which caused a blockage, and as a result of the pump being under so much stress from so many blockages, it decided to give way. Finally replaced that and the braided line and it worked all sweet but didnt get to do the retune! Anyway, enough of all that boring stuff here's a couple videos, haven't got all of them yet 10 sec GTR vs BADTAXI Skidpad Edited 08/10/13 02:51 AM by retro-xr6t 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
