Definitly you Kev, carbon bonnet BLUE wheels.
I came past invisibly in my X Type Jaguar.
Let us know what went pop.

Graham.

 

No worries, so am I you were wandering past our encampment (Mark/Steven, Wallis and Dyney's pits) when I cornered him about top mounts

 

i reckon Wallis has about as much luck as i do

 

Oops 'him' being Mikee, see, useless with faces and names

 

Don't FSE's come with a ten minute warranty

F

 

if it does turn out to be the reg, i won't be using FSE again, one failure is enough for me not to use something again

which model of SX reg do people go for? the -10 or -6 fitting (without gauge port)

and do you get the fittings with it for 8mm 'push on' piping?

 

How much can you expect to pay for an SX? I've been quoted £265 which seemed a bit steep!

Chris

 

175ish, but i might risk importing from the US if i reckon i can steer clear of customs

 

Was that adjustable with a gauge? If so perhaps we should do a mini group buy!

 

IIRC mef may be able to help with the SX???

F

 

lol at comment about me!!

mark@lateral can do good pricing.

Go for the one with -6 fittings

 

I've been looking at the Aeromotive ones from the States Kev. Appear identical to the SX (even similarly priced) but have a threaded gauge port in the reg body. The only other obvious difference being it's rated to 70psi (4.8bar) idle pressure rather than 90psi (6.2bar).

Perhaps it is worth a group buy?

I have plenty -6AN/push fit connections btw if you need them.

 

Thats the main reason I didnt get an aeromotive, due to the max pressure (base fuel pressure + boost or whatever )

I just had a port put in the side of my sx reg

 

is there a down side to putting your gauge in one of the fuel pipes instead of the reg body?

 

looks

 

well, in that case...

 

Never thought you was a tart David.

Ditto, if i couldn't get the Aeromotive for a significantly better price than the SX i was going to borrow your idea of tapping the thread in the side of it.

Kev, i'm currently struggling to get the bare reg below £100 delivered from the States. Both the SX and Aeromotive are priced almost identically (within a few pence). Obviously there would be a saving for a few gauges (being charged $50/54 postage ). Not sure how Mark/Alyn etc compare to that?

 

don't think you'll get better than that from the states, not sure how many i can get shipped in one go without it setting the custom's alarm bells ringing

 

guess what? FSE is alive and kicking (i never doubted it for a second )

my wiring looms isn't quite as healthy melted on the DP, one wire being the crank position sensor, this is why you don't change clutches at 2 in the morning

 

still changing the reg though, anyone want an FSE reg, good working order

 

So it was your fault then

 

kind of thought it was too good to be true when it started and drove first time

 

Glad it is sorted Kev, have to finish the map when I am next up your way etc..

 

yeah, just a shame it was something i could of prevented

 

just found an old pic of my Legacy now that was a proper street sleeper

 

Kev,
So your's is up at the 'clinic too then! I dropped my car off on Satuday for a service and MOT. I get a call on Sat evening from Kev to say that the engine is knocking .
So its staying up there for a rebuild now.

Nick

 

bummer i should get mine back in a few days when i can get up there to pick it up

 

Very nice legacy... didn't you buy my old 2 pots brakes/EBC disks and pads ages ago Kev for that car????

Or have i gone stoooopid

Tony.

 

i did indeed Tony

 

Shame about the weekend Kev

I'm sure you'll bounce back as you normally do - and it sound's like you're most of the way to being sorted already.

While we're on the subject of your old Leggo - here's another shot, next to CharlieWhiskey's old wagon
