  1. Edited my post above once I spotted the return in your pic! Cheers, will get it in the air in the morning and crack on with it! Was thinking I was meant to connect back to the rubber return pipe that comes off the stock FPR hard pipe. Clearly not!
  2. Cheers Berg!, if so I'm a jubilee clip short!! Not keen on using braided with jubilees, but hey ho will have a go in the morning and update!! Cheers
  3. Cheers Berg, Yes I am aware of how it works but am just wondering if I am short some bits to make it work! The fuelab has one side outlet blocked and fitttings in bottom and side outlet. Its a barbed fitting from the whiffbitz adapter, so clearly I am meant to jubilee the braided line to that and then an AN fitting to the FPR side, bottom of the FPR I make up another hose and fitting, and then there is nothing to join it back into the stock rubber return line. I have already removed the stock hardline that attaches to the FPR! Wanted to get it done tomorrow and it looks like I will need some fuel hose etc?
  4. Just wondering, I've bought the Whiffbitz FPR stock rail fitting kit which is allegedly a complete kit for fitting my fuelab FPR while keeping the stock rail. The kit has no instructions and I cannot work out how it is meant to be connected back into the stock return line (with the parts supplied). Does anyone have any pics or info of this kit installed? would be most appreciated! cheers
  5. Did you check the fluid level? Best bet would be to get the box rebuilt and uprated, I saw a link on here to a UK guy that was very good and did one for about £800.. WIll try and find it if you need it.
  6. They are great for classic cars and kit cars but as far as I am aware they only cover light modifications.
  7. Looks decent, well like a gearbox anyway.! Still think he needs to come up with a better solution than hacking part of the belhousing off though. There's no way I would be wanting to do that to a brand new tremec.
  8. Thanks Krister for the info! I will soon find out! Going to replace from the filter to rail with AN braided and add FPR and bypass pulsation damper with braided. Will see what she does and post up.
  9. Nice find! I really like it, except for the part of cutting off all the metal around one of the bellhousing bolts so it fits in the supra tunnel. Not good that..
  10. Thanks for the advice Lee. Gone with the Walbro 450. Do you mean replace the fuel filter with a stocker and an AN6 to the rail? Do you guys sell a kit ?
  11. Indeed, but the 044 is notoriously reliable and meant to be rock solid at higher pressure when the other pumps can tail off sooner (from the research I've done). But then I have to balance that against the noise! Decisions... Do people think it is important to dual feed the rail for this power goal? Has anyone else on here run the stock rail with a good FPR and suitable injectors with this hp goal? I know it will happily do it if I modify it as a dual feed just checking whats needed cheers
  12. That video is a bit like thrashing a supra with a blown turbo and videoing the smoke coming out the back! Just needs repairing. They are a good car IMO. (the manual ones, non cabriolet)
  13. Very true. US figures are still inflated! I am tempted to install the 044 in tank and upgrade the fuel lines from the fuel filter (a new one) and remove the pulsation damper line, (and install the FPR and make the rail dual feed) I reckon that will give me plenty of headroom to meet my goals for now. Will redo the 044 wiring in heavy gauge as well as that's meant to be an issue. I would like to just fit a walbro 450 but I can't see how it can keep up with the Bosch under decent boost when the sizes are taken into account! ok so the 450 isn't shown but it doesn't seem to be any larger than the 415!
  14. struggle is ok! I would be happy with 600 to be honest but I agreed we would see what we could get out of the turbo and I don't want fuelling to be the limiting factor if possible.
  15. Not sure mate, just been reading up on supraforums, there is zero technical info on there though about it! The way I read it was it was direct inline though. I will have to call the tuner and check his advice again. I wanted them to do it as it would be easier for me currently and then they could map it but they don't have time as they have well over 20 project cars in already . Heres where I found the info, looks like direct in series to me http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?590579-hp-capability-of-bosch-044-fed-by-walbro/page2
  16. Thanks Chris, sounds like you have a lot of headroom with that system. Reason I don't want to build the system fully before I dyno is mainly that I want to get it on the streets for a few months while the weather is decent, and secondly because I need to work out where I want to take it power wise and then build the fuel to suit. Also is your fuel pump staged? I may well be going the Syvecs route as the (excellent) tuner I have ended up with loves them and it offers way more functions than the Link I have now. I'm not overly keen on staged pumps in case one stops working at a critical moment but I would think thats the only way to keep the fuel cool. I know people have run 750whp with a walbro in tank feeding an inline 044, but I don't really want the 044 noise if I can help it. I may end up having to rearrange my dyno slot but they are 6 weeks ahead so it will be a big wait :/
  17. It's a Precision PT67 .81 AR DBB, cheers yes i was wondering about the 450.. Not sure what it will support but reckon it will be ok
  18. Taking the car back to the dyno in a couple of weeks. It was only running 6psi boost last time due to faulty boost solenoid but now thats sorted I have booked it in for a mapping session and more boost. I need to upgrade the fuel system a bit first though (and fast!) so seeking options and what others are running. Goals are 600 whp ish -650 whp with current turbo (I'm not entirely sure what it will do but my tuner thinks 700 tops) I run a walbro 255 in tank at the minute. 800cc SARD sidefeeds in the stock rail. Now, I don't want to change the fuel rail and injectors mainly due to time (to dyno) and also because I don't need to yet. He suggested putting an 044 inline after the walbro (which will easily cover my power needs), concerns I have are two pumps heating the fuel up unnecessarily and I don't think I could stage them at this (in series) . The Link will stage a second pump, so my other option is keep stock lines (for now) and put twin walbros in tank (stage one of them) and then make the rail fed on both ends (will drill and tap and add AN feed), and return from centre back to tank via fuelab FPR. Or, fit an 044 I have already, in tank to replace the walbro, remove fuel dampener thing, dual feed the rail, and return back by fpr and then stock return line.. Lastly, I know cams will make this easier, but I don't think they are needed for this power level correct? I will certainly add them at some point in the future but want to get it mapped as is because the next phase will be larger injectors, bigger turbo etc Cheers
  19. Seems a very reasonable price to me. Bargain in fact! GLWTS
  20. Some beautiful cars in this thread, Top work guys
  21. Looks fantastic mate.
  22. Here's a couple of recent ones, engine bay ones to follow when I get round to taking some and doing a project thread Brief summary. New engine, all new seals gaskets etc New aeroquip lines Titan Stage 2 auto box, Titan Hi stall 3 Transmission coolers New brake lines Sienna Advan 2 19' split rims Full respray, new Whiffbitz bumper, new sideskirts etc Masses of other stuff I don't have time to list! Oh - Single Turbo car, PT67 DBB .81 ar, 800 cc injectors currently In the process of uprating the fuel system to a twin pump setup with full braided lines etc
  23. I don't think they are destroyed after incidents like this.. After all they are the ultimate predator and just doing what they are born to do. Very sad story nevertheless.
  24. Interesting, shame it probably can only do one lap per charge! https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/video-watch-nio-ep9s-645-ring-record
