Sounds like a plan - Also if that fails I would check maybe the inline filters to make sure they aren't blocked from picking up any crap from the new Tank etc? Maybe bypass them as a last ditch effort.
Cheers Gregg |
yep plan to pull apart the -6 strain filter and have a good look

Any update Ben? Been losing sleep over your fuel issues :)

Today I dealt with the fuel problem. Checked voltage and earth at the pump first with it running, 14.4volts.
I upgraded the low pressure pump inlet side to be all -8 (the fitting on the tank is -8), filled her up at the bowser and went driving around the industrial estate, did 20kms and had no problems, pressure constantly 52-54psi. Oil temp hovering about 70, water about 88, this was all cruising the bends, average speed according to the GPS was 48kmh. I need to talk to VEI about my speedo as its totally whackers. I have seen 350kmh but it shoots around all over the place, clearly it doesn’t like the signal that the ECU is putting out, they will have a fix I just need to find out what it is. Need to get on to the aluminium dash panel this week too and off the temporary MDF. |
Good news Ben. I can sleep easy tonight. Your running a chev so that 350km/h could be right mate....:)

But is he a 'control' driver?

Today was a good day, starting final preparations. Changed the oil and filter, fitted the fire extinguisher, and got off the MDF dash and fitted the aluminium dash. Eventually I will have it covered in leather most likely to match the seats but for now I didn't want to stare at scratched raw aluminium for a few months so just got some 3M vinyl wrap from SuperCheap. It's not perfect but good enough for temporary work.

Looking very spiffy Ben.
|
Nice work Ben, not too many bubbles!
Cars looking great |
Looks awesome, keep that shifter surround as is, raw metal and all those button heads looks good as well . That led light looks like a Wurth one, nice, I use mine often and it's the best portable light I have used.
Driving down the highway at night, that dash will looks unreal. |
thanks Leroy. The light is a BOC one, while it's better and smaller than my other one from Jaycar, its still pretty crap and battery doesn't seem to last long. For undercar I have been pulling out the 20 year old plug-in fluro lead light, can't beat that for lux.

Looks really good Ben.
|
The car is as ready as it can be I suppose, for a track outing when it has done less than 50kms.
Bolted on the hood scoop, that's gotta be 50bhp right there. https://bencobra.files.wordpress.com...9/img_4962.jpg I had an old iPhone 4S kicking around which has now entered a new phase of it's life courtesy of Harry's Lap Timer https://bencobra.files.wordpress.com...9/img_4961.jpg |
looking great Ben, great use of the iphone.
Do you have a steering lock, noticed you had the ignition on the dash. I understand you need a steering lock for VASS approval? |

Hey Ben, lay a few Turps soaked rags on the packing tape residue for a day or two and it comes of fairly easy.
