Problem solved! I've installed a Walbro 255 and added a filter between the tank solenoid and the pump so the pump is protected. Bit of a delay as M10x1 to 5/16 barb adaptors are hard to find. I've got a bit more electrical cleanup to do and then I'm good. Many thanks to all Great to hear Jag304, ge...

LOL bolt fix.... often the simple approach is the best.!

How is the motor going together??

Hi guys, Have found a weird problem with tunerpro today. This isn't with a delco ECU, but with a ford ECU and using a J3 chip and programmer from tiperformance, but I think that is unrelated. After installing tunerpro and attempting to get started on a particular windows 10 laptop, we couldn't get ...

wow thats interesting, i guess my 6x4 i've had for the last 20 years is doomed huh? is there any FEA or engineering articles to support this dude? I Have seen way too many accidents that are caused by welding the drawbar across the front. This does not mean every one will but it give a higher stres...

Not the greatest, but at least it is only the negative. It is not a fire or electrical risk just poor workmanship....

You have to laugh biggvl.

Hi Guy's :D a quick update I took the cam phasers and sensors off my brothers motor, you can't just swap the phasers over because the chains are different! so looks like no choice have to take front off motor and change all gears and chains. I will post back on the weekend after I swap it all over ...

Will source a new one this week.

You are going to source another Subaru this week, I would have found a different car (ie not a subaru) to put the radiator cap onto.... hehehe.

Sounds like you might have finally found the issue.

With the right offset rims you can get a big rim in there. The guy that owns the Just Commodores forum made some custom 17" x 10" rims running a 285 tyre on his VR HSV Senator. He also extensively strengthened the rear subframe. For completeness... http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vr-v...

Looks great there firebug. However, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you have welded your draw bar the wrong way. By welding across the drawer bar you actually create a stress concentrator and it will generally crack right along the weld. This is a very common mistake and can lead to a serious...

What is it with this silver wire cable like what the Astra runs, I couldn’t solder it. I had a blow torch on it and it wouldn’t take the solder it just ran off Cheers Yes that is correct Heff0018. Often this is coated or is a none copper or tin wire. This means like paint you either need to etch it...
