    Looking good.

     

    What do you think of those adjustable strut mounting plates?  They look like the ones of TM i see advertised occasionally.

    A workmates brother in law worked for GMH.  He drove around in vehicles fitted with industrial dataloggers that monitored everything.  The vehicles were his daily drivers so they they get bulk data for every part of driving in real world use.

    That area looks strangely familiar for some reason even though I can’t seem to place it right now.

    Immortality replied to the topic Fuel getting hot causing fuel pump noise in the forum Fuel Systems 1 year, 7 months ago

    Yes it depends on the injectors, I believe LS injectors are rated at 4 bar, I believe this was done because with a dead head style system you have a large column of fuel in the fuel line that is moving very slowly at idle, when you nail the throttle and dump a whole lot of fuel into the engine the rail pressure momentarily drops as the pump has to…[Read more]

    Maybe heat management in the bay needs looking at if indeed that is the culprit.

     

    What pressure are you running?  Stock they run something stupid like 58psi with the dead head setup but with a full return style a more regular 43psi would probably work better as the pump isn’t working as hard and volume is also better at the lower pressures.  T…[Read more]

    Yes I agree that a PWM controller is a good idea but a single 044 should not cause these issues.  The 044 and Walbro equivalent are in thousands of cars getting around daily.

     

    The missus daily comes factory fitted with a fuel pump pwm controller :yes:

    At about the 30 minute mark they show how a supercharger belt behaves with a manual tensioner and then how a OEM style tensioner maintains belt tension.  This car was loosing 100hp due to belt slip even with the manual tensioner tightened as much as they could get it.

    LOL this thread taken a bit of a turn.  I’ve been trying to tell people for years O rings like a bit of lube just like your missus does….

     

    Hope you get better soon, I can sympathize with the pain issue and not been able to do what you want, my surgeon this week said another 3 months before he thinks the shoulder will be back to reasonable…[Read more]

    If I remember correctly the boys spent a fair bit of time playing with the steering angles on  Binky to fix the bump steer problem.  Had to re-manufacture a fair bit of the structure in the end.  I believe they had similar CAD drawing on the ground that you ended up with too.

    Having a nail fall off is much better than seeing a doctor rip it off even though you can’t fully feel it.

    I made a similar mistake a few weeks ago.  We had to go and save a damsel in distress, after the late night move was done I had to back a trailer down a long driveway with no lighting over a rise so I couldn’t really see where I was going.  Got out ok but killed my shoulder doing it, my boy ended up driving home.
