Debating if I should start a new journal for the new ride or just throw it in here. Still bone stock and not much to report. I'm putting a bit of focus on my PC. Its going to take about $1000-$1200 to finish. That's exhaust money. I also need to add a new GPU to Wifeys rig. Afterwards, I'm hoping to focus more on my ride. It's going to be parked for a couple months while I'm at school, so it's not as big a rush.

Ryan and Jen(Z) are helping me out big time with installing the road race pump over the weekend. Huge props to them. Of course this means it's not for sale anymore :)

That's one way to beat an 800hp Z. Tons of hard right hand turns :roflpuke2:

I'm not available to be there and help today and they are running into some serious snags. I might have to try this another day. I think I'm going to reach out to Charles for help when I try again. I'm a bit bummed, but oh well.

From what I have read it seems like quite a process and takes a few days for the average guy to do the first time. Would def reach out to Charles. He is invaluable in regards to fuel systems and customer service.

What are the problems they are having?

Getting the hoses to connect while the pump is half way in. Ryan also noted that the direction the pump was facing, the tube would turn 90° into the tank wall linking them. I haven't had an opportunity myself to see what's up. This is all from what was passed on to me.

They having troubles with the stock fuel pump? Should look something like this before installing it.

New baseline at Doug's Dyno tonight at 9:30. It's an awd mustang Dyno. I'm anticipating low numbers...

Rusty 07-15-2014 08:36 PM

Yep.

Guess you got "phunk's' fuel pump in?

235whp 200lb ft... 2000ft elevation, maybe 3% humidity, and 95℉ in the garage. Gas was 91 octane from shell. Oil temps were 200℉ at the start of the pulls and ended at about 220℉. I couldn't get them to drop any lower for my runs. It's about 45-50whp lower than his normal Nismo's. Car has 2300 miles. I'll load up the graphs later. This was on an MD500 awd Dyno. Car weight was set at 3625, hp at 60mph was set to 13, and all runs were in 4th gear.

Well, the only other way to go is up. This mght be the lowest baseline I've ever seen lol.
