Dont think i'll be making this now. Really wanted to see what the car would run, but seeing as i've killed my 3rd boost controller in as many months there seems little point. Unless i can get the money together to get another one in time, but thats looking very slim at the mo. Lookslike 2010 will be the year i make it :roll:

Is it the solenoids your killing?

Ask Ryan what he uses, Just a simple 3-port solenoid valve.
TOTB 2010 Rwd top speed, 1/4 and shootout winner.
10.7@142 on R888 street tyres, 10.3@134mph on slicks,
9's on slicks to come, with a clean full throttle pass! Goal of 0-150mph in a 1/4 of a mile....

Its the injector yeah that is being killed. I've told him about the probs and he's not happy. Has had a moan to MSD about it too as they're selling it as something its not. He's getting me a price on a solenoid valve that should slot straight in so waiting to hear back on that. All part of the winter project list which at the moment is getting bigger and bigger. :(

I'm hoping its cheap enough. This one has cost me to too much for not enough reliability. Yeah its a fancy idea, but in practice its not great the way its been put in. Better off not running it to "fail safe" as it will then last plenty long enough. I'd like to find a solenoid with -4 fittings so I can keep my braided lines.

I know we have only just got JAE out of our system, and a cracking turn out it was as well, but this is the last call for anyone who may be interested in going to Jap Show Finale.

Well with only 3 or 4 confirms at the moment, probably not. Think the complete washout of last year may be putting people off..... #-o
