will be fun to see how long your gearbox will last with the new turbo and mapped up ??? you got any hopes on boost targets ???

 

yes it will, and no i dont.

 

Good luck Neil. I look forward to seeing the results

cheers floyd

 

Further progress,

Full exhaust and wastegate secured (cheers derek) & also a light flywheel (thanks colin)

I think i shall order some parallel fuel rails and then it will be off for fitting Time is going past far too quickly! and if cash allows then i will also opt for an oil cooler to mount just behind the grille.

May need to upgrade the fuel pump though, any ideas? ideally would like to remain with a single intank one, assuming thats possible? i have the common walbro at the moment, but potentially that would get maxed out. Are there any 280 in tank pumps out there that are a direct fit?

 

most people tend to fit bosch if going above the range of the 255 walbro and they are external pumps.

 

have you got a link to anywhere that sells them? I figured it may not be as straight forward this time round!

 

Try a bosch one, although you may have to tweak the electrics to it on a newage so it doesnt burn out.

 

Alan Bell has one in tank on his newage, and it easily copes with his fuel demands.

ps Mark sells them

 

I presume it's the Bosch 909 rather than the 044?

Interesting stuff here: 22B Bulletin Board: whats the best fuel pump setup

Been considering switching from Walbro to Bosch myself.

Andrew...

 

Whats the difference between the 044 and 909 andrew? i cant view 22b at work

 

909 is smaller that 044, but draws much less current, can be used in tank, and are much cheaper, almost Walbro prices.

 

Thanks andrew, ive found a 909 pump for 90+vat, seems very reasonable. Just need to establish if its a direct fit or if any modification is required.

 

Modification is needed, and check the way the fuel pump is fed electrically. Ask Wallis or Pat to explain.

 

an 044 can also be used in the tank.

 

After reading that thread on 22b it seems that perhaps a single 909 would suffice.

Any thoughts?

 

What pads are you running in the Wilwoods Neilo?

 

Where did you get the STi5 heads from, and how much? PM if you prefer, im on the lookout for a set when the budget permits.

 

You've forgotten to add PPG Gearset as a definite in your still to buy section

 

i dont think so

 

Neil,

I hope your getting a baffled sump and decent fuel system with swirl pot, else the box may not be the only thing that goes pop on track!

 

well see shaun, most things can be retro fitted if i experience problems.....

 

Don't say you were never warned!

Car spec looks cool mate!

 

we'll see how it goes

 

Would the rear brakes not warrant some sort of upgrade? I run the Godspeed 335mm fronts with standard rears, and find the car heavily front biased for braking. There are some interesting articles on the Stoptech website in relation to the negative effect of 'unbalancing' the braking capability - making the stopping distance longer! StopTech : Balanced Brake Upgrades.

Neil

 

aps pipe work diameter seems to be about 60 mm - bigger on the throttle body side

cant find your other thread

 

cheers rich, is that all? i thoguht it was wider, thats not too bad then

 

Neil FYI, my turbo to intercooler is 63mm and intercooler to TB is 73mm
