Bloody right jim
the car is fast enough anyway at 1.5 bar

[SCS j1mbo]

wait till 2.2 bar gives ya a kick

look forward to the next time at brunters if it needs it so i can try and wedge myself in the seat

dave, i got a couple of pics i took, nothing special, i will post them up a bit later

[Kelv]

Dave, your aeromotive pump is up to the job perfectly, are you considering changing bits now then?

[SCS j1mbo]

obviously not mr kelvin other wise it would have been fully mapped today

it gets to 1.6 bar and all 8 greys are pouring fuel in and its still getting lean,

put 4 miliseconds in up top and it still went to lean, wasnt having none of it bud

ps: didnt mean to sound so blunt at first sorry mate

The pump is obviously getting too hot .

See my original resto thread for pictures.

You really need to post pictures up of your current tank arrangement, so we can see what we're dealing with and get off the phone .

mike, all daves fuel system is in car, so a undercar swirl pot would be no good ! (if that is what you ment by pics on your thread ?)

the pro alloy tank has a built in swirl pot im sure dave said cant remember now, so the idea was to run the -10 feed into 2 044 fuel pumps and straight to rail

cutting out the need for a external fuel swirl pot in car

[Kelv]

That's cool Jimothy

so, how can the very same pump be perfectly good enough to cater for Martoons 800 bhp (ish)

Dave I'm assuming you run the speed adjuster (or whatever it's called) which should keep it cooler, I'm sure Rainbird had the same issue!!

[Kelv]

Yes Daves run the internal fuel collector as does mine, Pro claim it's good enough to not warrant the need for an external swirl pot aswell.
Alledgedly!

[JHS]

My friends Escort, not quite finished in the picture, but you get the idea.

That is why I asked to see his set-up, as I didn't think the norm would be of any use to him .

Dave hasn't got the controller, so as you know from my experience, the pump gets too hot and then the fuel supply gets erratic. WOT cured this with a fuel cooler in the boot. But I would personally go down the proven route, as you could experiment like this and still find it wanting - which is why I went for two 2wd pumps.
