There are 6 of these units available right now.

ALSO... I am curious for any official feedback from those who purchased in this second batch and have had an opportunity to test on the track.

I smell discount!!!!

I admit I tried selling off mine as it would have been a first mod. I decided to keep it and will be going in on the 28th. Heck, I worked hard just to buy it. Hopefully I'll have time to use it as it was meant to.

Went to the track for the first time a few weeks ago. Went down to 1/4 tank on the gauge before I went to fill up, they had gas on track so no need to push it. Never had any issues what so ever with fuel the entire day. I've taken it down to 1 dot a number of times off the track with no issues in turns either.

Overall I am very happy with it.

:driving: :excited::yum:

Now i would be interested in that.:tiphat:

We have a track day at Blackhawk Farms on July 21...and it has a long right hand carousel. I will try to get down below 1/4 tank and give it a shot..hopefully I won't lose out on my session ;-).

Mine has outlasted the engine it was feeding! Still no issues and no fuel starve. Past couple of events I've now twice done the same basic stupid thing: forget to fill up between sessions, roll out with like 2 dots on the display at the start of the session, and just keep going past when it's warning on the display that I'm about to run out of fuel. Still no fuel starve in the corners.

Rusty 06-18-2014 11:19 PM

Mine is still going good. Don't have to worry about getting fuel right now when I got 4 lights showing.

Hi Phunk
This has been one of the best track mods I have done, Totally solves the turn right problem.
I have been able to run right down to one light on the fuel gauge with no issues.
So even down under here in Australia with the driver on the other side of the car it is a great mod.
Had a few issues with the install which I did myself but really happy to report that Phunk was quick to reply and always helpful.
Great product great backup, happily recommend to all
Cheers

Any setup problems with the RRP should show their face on the street just as well as the race track... if you run the fuel tank down low on the street and all is well, then you should find it to perform on the track just as well as others who have race-tested it.

Maybe down the road... for now it is too soon and would not be fair to everyone who has purchased it so far! :)

Just PM me, we'll keep it our little secret.

martin82 06-19-2014 05:19 PM

I've had no issues with gauge showing -- miles (0) and drove around in circles lol cw

I didn't instal mine yet.
Too busy racing and travelling ^^
I'll do that when the season is over, around oct or nov.

clintfocus 07-18-2014 02:26 PM

have any of you guys had a issue with fuel seeping up from one of the 3 studs on the top of the surge canister? Phunk, any input?

phunk 07-18-2014 03:02 PM

Its due to a revision to the product, where the 3 top bolts with seal washers were changed out to studs, to ease assembly. Using studs instead of bolts gives the fuel opportunity to travel up the inside of the thread, between the point of the male thread, and the V of the female thread. Thread sealant is required on these 3 studs.

This step was forgotten in the installation manual, and I have been asked about it a few times. It is nothing out of the ordinary... luckily it only takes a few minutes to address it.

clintfocus 07-18-2014 03:24 PM

Just handled it. Some fuel resistant sealant and a retorque and no leaking. Plus my car makes rights under a quarter tank and the fuel gauge reads correct :D track test next weekend. So stoked.

martin82 07-18-2014 05:49 PM

I'll have to check mine too for sure

I had the same thing. I used some RTV Black on the threads, and installed the nuts on the threads and tighten. No more seeping.

paulous 09-10-2014 12:48 AM

Is there a place in Orange County CA where I can get this installed? I'm sick of sputtering coming out of right handers, and I don't want to install this myself..

You have to call phunk and see if he has any left. He makes them in batches.

phunk 09-10-2014 04:36 AM

We are currently good to go on inventory for the RRP! There might be a couple small parts I have to get (1-2 days) to assemble a complete kit... but there is no manufacturing to wait for.

I would trust just about any reputable performance shop with the installation.

JWillis72 09-10-2014 06:35 AM

Punk, how many hours would you guess it takes to install the kit?

Rusty 09-10-2014 06:39 AM

Give yourself a good day to do it. 6~10 hrs.

phunk 09-10-2014 06:42 AM

I would agree with Rusty. Most people get it done in a full day or a couple half days. Some people have taken a few days to get it done. It will vary a little with experience and luck.

JWillis72 09-10-2014 07:02 AM

Thanks, I will try to call you this week. I keep meaning to order your kit, I should have done it months ago. I'm going to Sebring in a couple weeks and I will be kicking myself in the butt when I have to fill up every session!

phunk 09-10-2014 07:19 AM

OK sounds great!

Just a heads up, I might be difficult to reach until Friday. Today I will be running lots of errands but should be around later, and tomorrow I will be out of work all day.

JWillis72 09-10-2014 10:41 AM

PM me a price when you have time and tell me how you want to be paid. If HP matters the car is at 418whp now and will probably never pass 450whp.

I am about to put a car on the dyno... I will get back to you later tonight! Thanks!

You left out it was your car and you were going for monster numbers! I bet that thing is a blast!

mts 11-03-2014 11:56 AM

I finally put the fuel pump on this weekend. Less than a year since I got it from phunk, I consider that a small victory. :)

One question though, my pump is a bit noisy. Anyone else have that?

2011 Nismo#91 11-03-2014 04:49 PM

I haven't noticed any extra noise, but I do havr my music up loud alot. Been about 6months installed and a few thousand miles.

Zauskycop 11-03-2014 05:31 PM

Yes, there is a fuel pump whine...I am used to it now. Get a louder exhaust ;-).

Tracy Ramsey

Rusty 11-03-2014 06:42 PM

Figure now that the pump is right behind you. So you will hear it.

phunk 11-03-2014 06:55 PM

Definitely not uncommon to get a little noticeable whine from a 255lph fuel pump.. especially when its right behind you.

Yes. Normal just have to get used to it.

clintfocus 11-04-2014 07:09 PM

i can hear mine, but still quieter then my solid diff bushing ring gear whine :D lol

cdoxp800 11-18-2014 05:41 PM

Well got to test out my road race pump this past weekend. All I can say it WOW. I picked up 3.4 seconds on my lap times. It was so awesome.

phunk 11-18-2014 06:00 PM

That is great to hear! The RRP is one of my favorite products simply because the resulting contrast our customers see from it.

Zauskycop 11-18-2014 07:38 PM

It get's its big test Phunk when I drive it in the One Lap of America next year...see how she holds up over 3500 miles and lots of track time!

Tracy Ramsey

phunk 11-20-2014 06:42 PM

That is a huge distance! I cant imagine it having any trouble. Might want to peek in there for a visual inspection of how the hoses are holding up, etc.
