^Agreed. Mick at Tuners Edge is your man.

Good to see some progress happening!

When will we see some Alumastars about?

That all depends when your bringing my wheels past 

progress is slowly happening. Trying to get the painter down to suss bay and give me a quote.

Maybe while I’m fitting. The wheels u can jot down some notes

That moment when you finally get the pump back into the tank and look down and see you forgot the gasket!!!!!!

Pump attachment looks good

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Yeah pretty happy. I modded the return.

 

No longer uses the intank hose with the restrictive check valve. Instead run the hose so it pumps directly back into the cage.

That’s smart move man

[[TUFFVQ]Participant Melbourne1991 VQ 304 View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 171]

So you added the second line to the tank bulkhead? The pump carriers I’ve seen only have one hose connection.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Nah they should all have 2.

Instead of it going to the intank return line and check valve. I’ve just made my own.

Maybe it’s just early tanks, but mine have always had the return line integral to the tank itself…

Possibly.

The check valve in the tank which feeds back into the basket is very restrictive. Can cause the surge tank to balloon or over pressurise if the return from surge to main isn’t free flowing enough. This should illeviate the problem.

Ice Tank Mounted.

-12 bungs to blower and -16 to water pump housing.

More info please, what exactly is an ice tank and the pump etc?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

The LSA uses a water to air intercooler. Not your traditional air to air.

The water pump pumps pumps the water thru the brick, heat exchanger and storage tank/ice box.

When I race  I’ll fill the tank with ice for some super cool IAT’s

nah mate. Way to expensive esp since h AC gear didn’t come with my car. To retro fit a new setup + the chiller would of been up around $3500. Then I would have had ugly rubber lines in the bay also.

im doing my best to tackle the issue. 13L  tank, the EMP pump (one of the best you can get), -16 feeds and returns, -12 lines to brick etc. the only thing that can let me down is my ling long HX.

Cheers for that Cav, bit new to this FI game…

Don’t worry so was I mate. Took a while to get my head around it. Been trolling the ctsv forum in the states

What they are doing with the LSA is insane to say the least

Black vh sle  CHE did was cool they lucked out with a Caddy top & Lowe chassis spacers to keep it all under stocker bonnet.

 

Bit scary lsa dudes having oil issues/bearings wpn383,psi-hdt & couple vf lsa cars on track days.

 

Yet magnusson charged cars seem to be ok so far.
