The V8 Owners Forum -

can anyone confirm if graham sykes will accept membership here as a club?


Ralph

please ignore, i found the thread!

need to be in a paid membership of a club for my car insurance, how much is it here and how do i go about it?

cant see any details on the forum, i could just be being blind!


Ralph

i am dropping my heads down to have the valves recut in and probably skimmed an presure tested.

what CC should i be aiming for to get a resonable say 10.5:1 comp ratio?


Ralph

ahh i see, and true stevie, think a standard intank pump/reg may be the way forward.

Chris.

is that on the TOHR rangy?? thanks, handy info.

Ralph

i just been reading that stevie!

running this set up would do away with needing a return pipe or regulator, and also wouldnt clog the filter so fast as wouldnt be passing so much fuel.

i cant find the controller they talk about on PH's.

Ralph

does anyone know if theres any stand alone controllers which can run a fuel pump like this? it would be a better setup.


Ralph

do these dead end ones vary pressure in line with inlet pressure like conventional ones one are they a set pressure?

as said impossible to implement if your using an after market ecu which doesnt support it.


Ralph

my concern with running it as a dead end system is if the pump take up a gulp of air an it goes in the fuel rail it wont self bleed out very quick? yeah i can always use a different fuel rail or make up a custom one, seeing the thor setup almost made me think twice about using it, it is a big heavy ...

the fuel rail doesnt seem to have a return pipe, can someone shed some light on how the fuel pressure works?


Ralph

Thats smart, takes up little room, i would have kept the journals natural tho. it was a quick throw together job from my behalf, i just gave the crank to a friend who builds huge pontoons an the like an he had it sprayed at an industrial coating place so its just blasted an painted with very tough ...

this is what i made when i saw an old crank going rusty an needed a table by my sofa for beer/coffee! it sits perfectly just above the sofa arm, photo doesnt dot he top justice, its got a perfect machined finish, kind alike like the bottom of a vinyl. alloy top an stainless bottom.

i have seen V8 tuner and V8 developments on here, never used either tho, i want to put in few new bits as above to my engine and fit suitable valve springs, can anyone recommend wheres best?

i presume they are all only open mon-fri?


Ralph

Thanks for the excellent info! i now have a later 4.6 so its only 10 stud/bolt, although the heads i intend using are 14 hole, i will price it up, an i think its worth a go if not to expensive, as they are only fairly short, and the temperatures fairly minimal i wouldnt worry to much about the therm...
