Fuel starve?
After some advice please peeps. I occasionally lose fueling when cornering hard on a right hand bend, so car dies then goes again....really annoying.
Has anyone else had this and how do you over come this please....
It only happens when i really throw the car into a right hand bend and stay on the power.....
Thanks

What fuel pump are you running?
the suction bag on the bottom of the fuel pump being undersized causes this, bigger = better in this case

Nonsense!
Fuel pump on the right, fuel slops to the left, result? Pump no longer able to pick up fuel.

On track I need to have at least 1/3 of a tank for right handers, either that or you need to fit a surge tank.

Its common. as above. When on track i always keep above a third of a tank.
If you want to run it lower then a swirl pot is the answer

I would even go as far to say you need half a tank in to stop fuel surge, given the design of the subaru tank.
