I've been kind of bored during the middle of the day with all the time off lately, so I figured I would post up some pics of something we have been working on. Its actually something that we started on about a year ago, we just haven't focused on it much due to a lack of a need for it. Now that everyone is getting their headgaskets to seal and frying fuel pumps trying other methods, the contact regarding this that we have experienced lately is increasing rapidly.

While we have the prototype in these pics as fully functional, we have some things left to do. For one, we have to build a surge can that accepts the fuel level sensor. Also, today or at least very soon we have to setup the test bench and do some siphon tuning on all 3 siphons that it uses. Lastly, we have to tune the surge can capacity based on the strength of the primary siphons that fill it. The details are hard to explain without a diagram that explains how it all works (I will post that up once its in production). We are also changing the shape of a couple of the machined parts to further enhance their functionality.

So the final version will look quite a bit different still in about 2 weeks, and we will be anodizing it all. Following its availability will be installation kits to adapt it to various existing setups.





:shrug: It's been coming along.

 

id hit it!!



nice work charles... i would love to put one in my car but i cant figure out where it goes???

 

perhaps in that gas tank sitting in your garage that you were supposed to ship to me to help us test this?!

hehe, thanks for the props.

 

you could probably buy one new for the same price as shipping man, ok, just measured it, it will probably fit in a old injen exhaust box, let me see what i can do...


its damn near impossible to get all the fuel out of it though

 

right on, let me know ill cover it. if you dont have a chance its ok too... the weather is currently permitting some testing in my car - i just hope it stays that way!

 

Very nice work as usual look forward to fitting to the stage 2 kit

 

Nice setup. Can't wait to see the results.

 

Looks like a nice setup, good work!

 

sweet action! maybe one day i'll make enough power to need it!

 

can you make it fit the sedan?

 

Any progress on the plenum you were working on a while back ?

 

Looks very good man. Would be a decent idea hooked up with a surge tank. Running AAM's right now, but always looking for improvements...

 

nice!!! we will need 5 sets as soon as they are available!!!

Good work. Can't wait to see this baby in person.

AS far as sedan fitment, I guess I'll be able to test fit it as soon as it's available and go from there. One thing I can see is that the sedan tank is significantly different from the coupe/Z tanks. It has a VERY large surge tank mounted to the body of the tank itself, and the rest of the assembly simply dips into it. This may be advantageous in some ways. But to fit this assembly in there might require removal or at least modification of that OE surge tank... will be able to tell when I try to test fit it.

Will it be possible to have a single Walbro 255 l/h pump side by side with a single OEM pump. I am confident that this will allow for enough flow for all but the most extreme setups (i.e. up to 800 hp).

Thanks

 

Nice work Charles! I cant wait to see the finished product.

 

Looks awesome

 

Thanks for completing your homework before making it public. You know what I mean...

 

Awesome work as usual

 

thanks guys for the words of encouragement!
