My long term tidy up!

surge isn't really a problem for less than mid 300's anyway, as generally you've got plenty of fuel flow up to that point if you've got a decent lift pump.

Sounds like a good plan mate. I will call him today and see where he is at.

I know heaps of guys suggest doing all the mods once and then going for a tune, I still want to to do it in stages. Even if that means 2 or more tunes.

There's no problems with doing your mods in stages.

It all depends on what your budget is at the time. In the long run you'll pay more but you might learn a lot more about ya car along the journey.

Judging by the effort your putting in you obviously intend on keeping the car for a while so there's no hurry.

Fuel flow isn't the problem it's keeping it in the pot.

Certainly overkill but not necessarily a bad thing.. However if I am anything like the guys in the rest of the forum I will get a little taste and lose all control of myself until I have 700rwkw haha

I wasn't aware of a surge issues with this setup but will read up on it.

Is the bf mkii tank like in my car the same design as the fg?

Haha this is so true. I legit have my car on gumtree up for swaps at the moment, but last night was looking and researching high mount gt42 setups haha

BF tank and large pot with 460 is good for 20 seconds WOT on 98. Would need a surge on E85, For safety just run a surge,

you'd be right if he was aiming at those figures in your post... less than mid 300's at the wheels, you'll be fine even with the worse BA system on WOT. Obviously don't take the risk of surge at a drag-strip, for example, though, even though the risk itself is reasonably minimal.

[violetpop]

Ok so from the above posts, surge wont be an issue in this first round of tuning (I cant see injectors - pump - tune being more than 240-270rwkw) but I will factor in a surge tank in the next round of upgrades and perhaps the 460 can stay in the tank to feed the surge so not all is wasted.

[k31th]

you won't need something as big as a 460 going that route, as a half-decent lift pump will be able to re-fill a surge which can have the big pump(s) attached to it.

Unless e85 k31th.
You know that mate.

PS@k31th
Fix the F6 plz mate.
Dooooo it.

[k31th]

well he's not going E85, is he?

 

one day, Dan, one day.

Started to clean up the Fairmont wheels. They are too far gone, brake dust has embedded itself into the rim and is very hard to get out and will take hours and hours to clean up. I think the only way is to get these sand blasted to start fresh.
