"Well, maybe just one and a little baby computer......"

There's a point where persistent just becomes stubborn.

Will the SVEN collective be tuning this?

[9triton]

Ok then shape it so it looks like your wifes box, you'll get a nice surprise when you pop the bonnet.

lol - well done, mr rust

I ran the numbers on it and the cost difference is too much for minimal actual gain (3-4k extra), I can control fuel more than well enough for what I will be doing and the fuel I am using. It is no accident that there is a computer in there to control timing, because poor timing control = bang.

Can we just get over this shit seriously, there are heaps of cars running the same setup and working more than adequately and its what I am running, end of story. I am impressed by the lack of actual intelligence shown when considering the cars intended use, I haven't chosen this setup because I am too stupid to know any better, I chose it because it makes the best economic sense given what I am trying to achieve, I am trying to build a decent car on a pretty limited budget when compared to a lot of similar cars. Compromises had to be made somewhere and spend 3-4k extra on an induction setup makes zero economic sense. I would be much better spending that cash on what is a very marginal bottom end.

I have spent my time building something for me the way I want it for me. Not sure why it seems to attract the ire of all the fucking leg humpers here. I can count on less than 1 hand the number of people in this thread that have actually built something that will be quicker / better. It won't be the quickest or best at anything, but it is what I wanted to build, my way. I see plenty of cunts on this forum who have opinions till the cows come home but have barely picked up a spanner but are pretty good at getting other cunts to do stuff, or ordering bolt on parts out of a catalogue.

[lickmyleftone]

I'm here for you Dave, if you need a hug.

[myliberty]

boltons ftw.

[piss98]

Dave's missus is getting bolt ons with the money he saved on building a proper set up? :rotflol:

That aside I am keen to see this thing skid and get down the track straight hopefully - make all the work Dave and others have done worthwhile (I'm sure it will be). Plus when it's finished I have something special I wanted to give you for the door handles Dave. :D

This is a very budget setup. Blow through Borgwarner and windsor, everything that shouldn't work does.

Hundreds of yanks are running blow through setups, so its really not that hard. Dave is dead right, spending 3-4k on an induction setup is not smart money for 3/10's of fuckall difference at the end of the day, especially for his intended purpose. Too many retards forget this with their internet bashing. If there are issues, then its the normal fuckaround getting something sorted, not a sign of it being wrong.

Anyway, hope it gets sorted and skids not far behind

At under 1k for a fully adjustable body (e.g. removable HSABs, PVCRs ect), with e85 metering blocks, billet base etc it is a cheap starting point. Brent Davis uses these carbs as a starting point for his setups for a reason, and the main difference after he fucks with them is the 'crutch' BRPV setup. The C&S and CSU carbs are twice the price and still not as good the base QFT carbs,. The only prob with the QFT carb is that they do not come with a BPRV, which the easiest way to solve that for me in a single injector.

Lol @ blow through with e85 'just working'

Ok fair enough, i haven't done any research on the subject, i weren't sugesting it would just bolt on and work, i just assumed it would contain all the right components to make it work. Im looking foward to seeing this at willowbank for sure. Building a car on a budget is hard and i like what your doing, keep at it.

Disagree.

[hrt5l]

Disagree.

I dont agree that it would have cost 3-4k extra to go to efi, its the dyno tuning that gets you, its a major ripoff.

This is what my efi system cost.

Computer $800 (secondhand)
TP manifold drilled for injectors $1050
bosch pump $200
injectors $500
Ebay throttle body $200
Vt dissy $150
Total= $2900

My system wont support E85 though so that would cost more for bigger injectors and fuel pump.

I have no idea what a carby setup would cost but i know it would be alot cheaper and easier to tune.

[JZK25]

I am trolling but you have to remember that Dave's fuel system cost 11ty billion$. Saying you bought a carby for $800 and claiming victory is forgetting a lot of expensive shit that goes with it.

Just to clarify, I am trolling.
