I got an email from Dave today, looks like I'm up on Wed If I wasn't working 8-4 (which means 7-6) on Monday I'd blast up

Sweet, thanks man

I think I know the one you're talking about actually, put on by the Vintage guys at some school to benefit some church right? I was hoping to go but between work and not really being ready, I'm going to pass

Sweet. Yeah, I'd bet that his rad and intercooler and be reused, then there's the mounting etc etc etc. It would be awesome for sure.

Thanks man, yeah if ya wanna keep it a secret, shoot me a PM or a txt. I'd be interested to hear what your plans/ideas are

sweet dude, are you doing all the coil tests that day? if so let me know how it goes, ill probably pick up whatever you say is the best that i can use with the PFC

yea that one, we seem to be going pretty deep this year, ill take some pics and let you know how it goes

yea well see how things go, i got him real fired up about it, it should be pretty badass, well see what happens i guess

yea ill probably pm you pretty soon, im not actually ready for anything quite yet....but i wana plan ahead so that when i am i can just order everything quickly and R&R everything in a couple days

Yeah I deserve that, but you did tell me you were in no rush. When you get in a rush, I'll be on it.

Yeah, maybe a little bit As short as possible really. I think it'll be difficult to built though because it'll be a female fitting. Meaning the head needs to rotate in order to tighten the seal. Make sense?

You don't have to give me that information if you don't want to, but it will help me in designing the lightest possible adapter for you (assuming aluminum, can also do it for a host of other materials too).

call it 85psi
10lbs' maybe?
AL is fine. I'm not a fan of mixing metals, especially when submerged.

Negatory, need to get the girl back up to speed with the new injectors, pump, and coils. Starting at WG and NS and rolling up to 15psi NS, then turning on the sequentials and rolling that from WG to 15psi. So basically starting from scratch but with a somewhat accurate road map. The software in the MoTeC is incredible. I was talking with one of the engineers making sure I understood something - you can adjust the injector pulse width duty cycle if you will. Meaning if I go from say 4000cc's of flow up to 5000cc's of flow all I need to do is scale the IJPU (they call it) back 25% and it'll be spot of ASSUMING THE INJECTORS BEHAVE THE SAME - dead time, voltage comps etc etc. Becuase I'm changing injectors to some real ones, they will behave differently at certain voltages and pressures. So while I can get the scaling correct in the fuel map, it'll still be off in certain areas becuase of the characteristics of the injectors.

If you're going in, go balls deep It's only about 20 minutes past my house. Wish I could go. If you guys are leaving early or late enough, we should get together. I'll be working a half day on Sat, 9am to 9 pm, 12 hrs, 1/2 day right? Just like today

Definately, I'd love to pull that girl into my shop late summer early fall. Got a backlog now actually which is good I guess.

Chance favors the prepared I like to get everything lined up too. When it's not, you find yourself touching yourself in the corner waiting on parts. Of course I'm in the opposite boat right now. I've got everthing I need except time. Right now I'm waiting on the tank to cool so I can pressure test it again. With any luck the girl will light off later today. Oddly enough Friday is my day off, yet I'll be going into work tomorrow @ 7am :scratch: Hopefully I can get home with enough time to get the tank wired, filler sorted out, straps built, wired and pumping fuel. If the car doesn't start tomorrow I'm going to ask for some time off, this is just getting ridiculous.

Don't worry. I'm still not in a rush about it. I'm actually trying to thin my crap before I move... speaking of which I need to post up a new FS thread with pictures this time around. I'll do that after I post up what I did for you.

It does, but it doesn't really matter since it's a hose fitting on the other end, meaning it can swivel on the hose. So you can make it out of a solid piece of aluminium, which all things considered is dead sexy.

Welp, check out the attachments. I did the analysis and from what I can tell you're no where near yield. I mean you hit 9.something ksi and displace maybe 0.016 inches (i'd have to double check the scale), but this is over kill engineering for you... hmmm... possible new name?

I'm still not 100% on the dimensions, but it's fully dimensioned which means if you want it in a different size 2 seconds and it's done. How do you like dem apples? About the only other thing I could do to make the results even more accurate is simulate the remote force from an off concentric load (ie COM of the fuel pump just hanging out on the side), but in all honesty it's not going to do much of anything in both displacement and stress on the piece.

I hear that my friend.

That looks awesome T. A little long but year looks fantastic. All the engineering is impressive. in reality though, there will be very little stress on the part as the pump is supported pretty well and not allowed to move much if any at all, I like it

For who?????

Well, as soon as I double check the -AN stuff I can make it any size you want... Bet you never heard that before

For who?????

I sure like to wink at you... Must be the car.
