Yes, As usual

We got a laptop each, but RichPON may have something to say about it, he did before

 

that is sick but practical!

 

It did not work well with just the one laptop

Few too many arguments

 

getting personal now but.... are you in the same room?

 

Yeah lol


But i use MSN a lot to keep in touch with my mates etc from up North, hence why i spend a lot of time on here, cheaper than phone calls to them all !

 

Cool... was just checking that you haven't got some crazy cyber relationship D

 

Martin the 044 supplies minimum 200lt/hr at 5bar its a pump good for 700bhp from my data and thats not me personally but the testers who have the proper set up and know how to flow test (no dig at you )

 

Helen get Skype it's a dam sight cheaper

Mike

 

With all due respect Phil, Martin quoteed 210lt/hr at 6bar and mark finds it does 270, so they obviously agrees with you "sort of" on flow but not on horsepower potential. Not a dig, just a fact worthy of mention.

 

At 200mph I reckon 5mpg would be the most you would get but I reckon closer to 3mpg would be more like it...

based on 5mpg at 200mph you would need 181 litres per hour BUT if its 3mpg then 302 litres would be needed!! So one 044 pump may not be such a good idea!!

 

Mmmm. may have to have a think about this.....

 

...at 4 mpg youd still be ok so for 200mph lets say that...and we know to do 200mph you are looking at 680-700bhp

BUT you are sailing close to the wind and i would only recommend 600bhp max...so ideal for my max on a 2wd manifold of 550bhp

 

I really don't think you should be making recommendations to anyone, given that you change figures to suit yourself.

 

none of my figures have ever changed


...my info is test not guess


...note that i always quote my own recommended figures (lower than max) to assure you aint entering the flat out zone

 

an example...

first the pump's good for 700hp then when doubt is cast you then suggest 600hp to be safe!

I could go on...BUT I'm not interested in replying to any more of your rubbish,

Merry Christmas Doctor bullshit

 

Yes it is good for 700bhp from your own admission of 4mpg and 200mph ....But youd have to be an idiot to run it flat out on a very expensive engine..so TBH i dont get your point except trying to dig...next your be bringing up the 30 quid again

 

Oh well, the plus side is with the tubular manifold and external waste gate we could possibly see another 20 - 30 brake Should be getting on for 670 bhp on race fuel, getting close to the magic 200MPH!!!!!

 

should piss it Ade

 

 

Fingers crossed

 

im still concerned over the capabilities of 2wd manifold as dont forget i have blown up 2 engines as well as mad ade. 1st had 542bhp, 2nd had 600bhp again serious heat soak in no 3 piston

 

my engine doest seem to have a problem with it...

not quite as high horsepower but i cant be far away..

only diff is that i have a proper exhaust

 

As far as i can see it's only yourself and Ade that have suffered this kind of failure ... other than the exhaust manifold do your engine share any new (not tried and previously tested) components?

 

not that i know 2 exhaust link pipe i use pj motorsport one and also use a turbonectics remote wastegate same that carwise uk use, did run rs500 plenum with 1000cc injectors now changing to a r & b swedish plenum,

 

Martin with all due respect there aint alot of cars who run 600+ on a stock exhaust manifold...the ones that do,how many drive in anger and do constant top speed runs?

...everything has a limit bit like people

 

not intersted.

 

...atleast admit defeat like a man

 

that will be my standard reply to your posts from now on as you have nothing to say

 

...well its good to see you have finally grown up ...onto my next subject

 

By the powers of deduction I assume you are referring to me as I am the only person in "your neck of the woods" with a "3 grand inlet manifold". However, I certainly hope you arent referring to me or we'll be having words at the next meeting Nobody calls me a gobshite and gets away it without retaliation

Anything I said earlier on this post was purely offering contructive criticism as part of a collective opinion from this board and no offence intended. If you can't take that, you shouldn't be in this game.

PS If I want to spend Ł3248.18p on an inlet manifold then fit it to my car and go shopping with it then I fucking will.

 

 

If the cap fits.....

 

Didn't have you down as the touchy type Ade. I very rarely come on this forum. This shows why.

Was only merely offering my thoughts and advice. I will keep it to myself in future. Good luck with the diagnosis!

 

...i cant understand the hate on Ian..i would gladly insert my Grey injector in him

 

Lol Phil, it's nice to know you'd still fuck me with your injector

 

merry xmas Ian, see you for a coffee sometime

Is a shame this thread has disentigrated into argument, it's a very very interesting read and has helped me re-think some of my future plans

There are a lot of very knowlegeable people here, shame they can't work together........

and it seems phil was right about the manifold all along (dives for cover) ... but in all seriousness, from what I can see people have been jumped on for offering genuinely honest advice

A point to note about the fuel pump flow figures, even aircraft fuel pumps have huge tolerences, ( I do a lot of work on aircraft fuel systems ) combine that with tolerences in fuel filters, joints in pipes, voltage reaching the pump, age of the pump etc, the difference can be HUGE in the pumps output.
Just imagine if you have a very well built pump that flows at the top of its build tolerence with a wide tolerence fuel filter thats getting optimum voltage off a new loom on new pipes, compared to a poorly built in the first place at the bottom end of tolerence for quality control, thats seen a bit of use to boot, on an old loom, not getting quite the voltage it normally does through a slightly tight fuel filter, the differences will be huge- could be a major factor in some cases

 

Ian, I'm sorry about the comment. I have had a lot of shit over the last year or so with the failures. I welcome all advice and take it on board.

A lot of people have shown genuine interest in our efforts, but it has built up recently to the point where I have had enough.

We are going to make one last effort to get it right, and this time it will be right.

Apologies.
