Mr2 Turbo Sprint Car (Banshee)

[Magic Beans]

well guys im feeling good about this weekend
and i recon ill get all the sensors on and wired back to the ecu
i think no later than early july it will be mapped to its extreme!

strange thing is im not that worried/excited over the extra 100hp im more excited about sh... loads of antilag thumping out the side exit!

Videos required please

Beware those extra horsies, one or two might bite. As I found out.. Evidently you have more skill and better tyres than I though

[bobhatton]

Nice- now get that ecu in there and see what she can really do

Great, you know that will mean loads of work for me? I have got to sort out where all the wires go first so Steve can fit them

vid will be the first thing!

more skill? prob not
better tyres? definatly!

by the sounds of it it wasnt the extra horses that bit you it was the standing water.
it that senario not even Alonso could avoid the wall.

What's the benefits of changing the fuel lines? What does the -8 and -6 mean? Excuse my lack of knowledge.

No problem
-8 is dash 8
Dash is the size of the lines bigger the number bigger the line.
If you want more power then you burn more fuel bigger lines, pump, injectors and rail are needed to flow enough fuel.
Standard lines are quite small.

What about FPR? I've got the 255lph pump and plan on injectors and rail.
I'll add the lines to my list. How much did the lines with fittings come to? What should I order?

yeah and fpr
it depends on what power you want the most ill ever run on this car is 500bhp so -8 will bo fine. if you only want 400 then -6
not sure on the total cost infact i have no idea at all as we bought over double what i needed.
ill see if i can work it out on sat or sun for you.

If you let me know where you want the fuel line to run from and to I will get you a price on all the parts. Steve does not know the cost because I got all the lines for him

[J-1]

Thanks for the offer Bob.

The thing is, I don't know what I want... Or need to be honest!
Looking to you for guidance!

[stephano]

I think the obvious thing to do is if we measure up all my kit and fittings then price all that up.
That will give a good idea on cost.
Would have done it the weekend mate but I've been really ill.
Sick enough to not work on the cars!!!

[J-1]

That's fine mate - in your own time!

[afennell]

Great job.

[bobhatton]

If you let me know what power you are going for I will do a drawing for you.

I am sure we have a FPR and fuel rail together with all the lines and fittings you will need.

IIrc the stock lines will do circa 450hp

Sprinting looks fun!

[stephano]

ok is that with a 2 pump system? im on a single pump.
wouldn't want to run that on stock lines myself tbh they seem very small imo.
yeah sprinting/hillclimbs are great fun. certainly nice showing what mr2's are capable of against the 4x4's

Yeah single walbro should get you to 450hp+ and outflow the oem line Iirc, been a while though!

Even if you've got triple pumps, the lines will still only flow the same maximum flow.

How much does the hill climbs and sprinting cost, if you don't mind me asking?

Michael.

[bobhatton]

Its about £75 per day to enter but around £500 for the MSA cloths helmet etc.

Bends are fun

I know that. it's my job
I wasn't thinking twin pumps in tank. I was thinking separate lift and pressure pumps with swirl pot etc etc...

Yeah the sprints and hillclimbs are fairly cheap as entry level motorsport goes but not if you look at £££ for seat time.
Still worth every penny tho

i had stock supply line to bored out rev2 rail with stock return from aeromotive regulator, walbro 255 in tank, had no fuel issues at 540fly(road car).

Walbro is not a pump I would use as so many cheap copies around and for 500+ hp I would be going for -8 feed lines and -6 return with a 044 pump direct from Bosch again as Chinese copies are being made.
But everyone has to make their own mind up on what they feel is the right things to use.
