John - thanks for your reply, i had over a half tank before it started kicking back

were would i get a swirl pot/surge tank from & are they hard to fit

Thanks

Stephen

 

Your joking

pity eh?

though there is a couple out there, good luck on the hunt

 

Powerstation feature one on their website, also search on 22b and here for previous threads. Above half a tank does seem a bit unlucky though, were you on slicks?

 

I used to get fuel surge when just over quarter tank left on the Sti8. Hopefully not see this on the Evo as it's a baffled tank which is meant to stop this from happening....well see on the 10th!!

Stephen...you sound totally bitten by the bug mate. Planning track mods already

 

Anyone manage to get any video of me in my Elise? Was in the Orange S1 with black stripes. my 1st trackday....awesome. I have the bug now shame my wallet doesnt feel the same way!! Managed to spin out on cold tyres...that and I was running the dreaded Pzeros which are really poor on the elise. Was a nice place to spin ( the right had blind bend just after duffus) and there was no need for the dirt trap.

Think im going to sort my tyres and suspension out before my next trackday.

Gareth.

 

nope new Toyo TS1's !

Strange, very strange ?

 

Yip, just want to get it right & stop it surging, its an embarresment more than anything else, kangarooing out of the hairpin !!!!!

 

Glad you all enjoyed the day

Fuel surge - just keep the fuel above 1/3 tank and you'll be fine, or fit a swirl pot from Powerstation, or get the optional STi fuel pump/filter/pickup assembly (may as well fit the uprated fuel pump at the same time).

Most people just learn to live with it and drive around it, I generally just ease on the throttle in 2nd coming out of the hairpin, until I'm in 3rd, by which time everything has settled down.

Hope to see you all there again on our next event on the 11th September. This event is likely to be very busy from what I've heard (lots of people who couldn't make it on Saturday are booking up), so I'd book up now to make sure of your place! http://shop.sidc.co.uk

Just booked mine now
Only 46 and a half days to go............

I also experienced fuel surge (not nice and not good for the heart!!)
That was with 1/2 tank left, and I had already had an uprated fuel pump fitted.

 

Swirl pot it is then.

<flutter as the moths fly out his wallet>

 

No problem cal.....

I was also getting terible Fuel surge on the hairpin and at Clarks. Pain in the **** when your powering past someone and you lose power

 

Group buy on swirl pots ??????????
