'99 VR-4 19T Build

[J-Groove]

Saturday, April 9th

Nice full tank of e85 to start off the day right!



A nice country road drive to the airfield.





My father in law with a cool guy who owns a nice GTR we were hanging out with at the race.



Adam and Chris, AKA, the ones who fixed my PVC issue at the airfield. Thank y'all again!




INSANE! Mustang, 1,200 RWHP supercharged build 5.0, poor car got killed a week later by a person on a cell phone.







Twin turbo 1991 Ferrari Testarossa - beautiful car...also the slowest car of the day.









Here is the field, ready for Round 1

[J-Groove]

Here is my Round 1 line up, good guy, but yeah, I lost. Though I am running far less than the potential of the car. But, I still lost. Supercharged '06 GTO.





And now, for some of the cars!














The rain ended the racing early for the day. I got home in time to load up the family in the Buick and head out to Chili's.




Here are the class winners from RRIII

So, here is where I am now.

Picked up a Walbro E85 pump, one for me, one to replace the bad pump in Adam's car.



I installed the pump, cussed out the stock hanger, as it is a piece of shit, but I got the new pump on and back installed.

She starts right up, and WOW I have fuel pressure, I try to lower the PSI as the AEM FPR was cranked up to work with the aeromotive pump....crap, I can't get it to go below 55 psi...crap, at 55 psi it is overrunning the AEM FPR and fuel is seeping out past the seals....crap.

So, I've thrown in the towel and decided to spend money to do it right, and get it done.

Got a custom FPR with stainless filter kit from Ninja.





And I caved and bought one of these from GZP.



After this, my fuel system will be rocking. And ready for a surge tank if I every actually do need one.

I'll be back on the dyno to get a real number after all of this is installed.

And just to show a full timeline. I started this WHOLE project and thread when Tiffany was pregnant with this little man.

Had to be, paid for the event a few months in advance, didn't want to be stuck with a $300 spectator ticket. haha

You just need a dedicated racecar in your stable

If I had a stable, I'd be adding this first. A '71 Skyline 2000GT GT-R clone



Then, race car.

You have everything in yet?

Nope, still waiting on the fuel hat from fabbarage, Hans gave me a heads up that they were backed up so he had them ship one direct my way since GZP didn't have any on hand. I am supposed to be getting it in this week.
