^^ I need my subframe back first...gotta have something for the engine to sit on, feel free to remind him in my absence

Got to change the other front calliper on the red car before I come over on Sat now, blooming thing seized same as the n\s one at xmas

 

How you setting your swilrpot up Ian? Iv completely forgot about / neglected mine and its something i kinda need to do.

Which ports you using for what? Clearly the bottom is fuel out, how about the rest?

My fuel out is -8 so might do -8 line all the way to the engine and -6 returns/breathers

 

Funny you should say that Jon, I knocked up a crappy diagram and checked with Zak I hadn't got anything wrong...



Close but no cigar ; the only changes I need to make are the in tank lift pump (Walbro in my case), feeds the swirl pot...the bottom port then feeds the external pump (Bosch 044 for me), which feeds the fuel rails via the inline filter.

I'm using -6AN fittings for my fuel system...it's gonna be very expensive

 

wont b there sat mate as new mocom employee has been born today

 

yeah got an excited text at 7:30 this morning

 

so your top port on the SP is the breather, breathing back to tank (in my case which used to go to carbon can, but is now vta in engine bay)

i read -6 stuff is good for 2.0 motors, but if im gonna go bigger capacity il just make sure and go -8 feeding the engine to make sure it gets enough, the returns can all be -6 etc. mind you its not going in yet, that will just put things back even further, i wana drive it now

 

my top one is the return to tank not the breather...I don't think you need a breather within the system as it should be closed loop?

not sure about the sizes tbh, I'm using the logic that the fuel rails are -6 so that should be good enough for the whole system. If i upgrade everything else tp -8 i'd still get a bottle neck at the crucial location...i guess that's why we need to run uprated FPR's...

there is of course the chance i'm spouting random BS...but that all makes sense to me. happy to be corrected though

 

Yeah wondered what the text was as he normally doesn't get up till 10 lol

 

ah right didnt know it dint need to breathe, assumed as the tank had a breather so should the swirl pot.

so its only going to return to tank if it fills to the top?
and 6 on your drawings fuel in to sp
and 7 is fuel to rails
and 8 is return to sp

 

^^Jon I've *ahem* drawn another diagram...I thnk this is the way it should be...

 

brief update, been slightly delayed due to my red car trying to kill me with seized front brakes...so full new set up required for both sides...thank to Allen it was all gratis


New oil cooler has arrived, it's going to be much more straight forward to fit in the inner than the mocal...I aim to get that fitted, including the ducting this weekend. I also need to pick up a remote PS reservoir so I can mock everything up for when I refit the long engine.

 

I'm going to use the day to get some work done on mine

 

Same here mate, What ever you do, don't flip your i/c lol absolute ton of work!! Halfway through but need a dremel to sut the bumper as my grinder is too big to get in there

 

What bosch 044 did u get ian?

 

Would that be the subframe i see in Zaks workshop today with "Ians subframe" on it

 

Chris I got this one...


Ian, yup that's mine...have you been over to Mocom then?

 

Yeah had my alignment done

 

Cheers ian, didn't realise there are a couple of 044's

Ian I'm working from home on Thursday so perhaps I'll pop over...what time are you booked in?

I think there is more than 2 versions of the 044 as you had motorsports versions too

 

Is mine the Motorsport version then Fai?
