You'll also have to run a dry break fitting which goes on top of your fuel filter (replaces the bango bolt) if you want to run in MSA 3E Excel events in the future.

Just found your channel again… it's good to see you again, despite the issues you're going through. I hope things get better soon for you, Mr Boyce. It sucks when things are down in your life, and sometimes you just have to work through it, or step back and figure out a new plan. I do miss you, honestly. You were great to have. I wonder if you remember me ;) P.S: for no reason, what was the jerky place called? I remember you mentioned it several times but I don't remember the names.

Despite the fact that it's been a year since it happened, I went to Winternationals on the weekend and you could still sense some nerves early on with the new surface and not knowing what to expect. By the end, people were relaxed and I think that is what was needed to get Willowbank back on track. It didn't see much racing last year but this weekend gone, Sam must have been watching over to make sure everyone was safe. While I am not religious, you could feel the cloud lift. I'm a circuit racer but come from a drag racing family. When it happened at the time, it was a rude shock. I remember discussing whether or not to go and had a gut feeling early on in the day saying not too. I didn't and I am glad I didn't. We may race different categories but at the end of the day, motorsport is one big family. We never want to see anyone hurt and when a fellow racer doesn't make it home, it's sad for everyone.

Machining of some parts of the head for valves and such. Some of the castings can be better than others, so a lot of flow testing is done as well to see which head will flow the best. And I’m sure there are some little tricks that are done to get the extra little bits of speed

When your car was surging, do you recall how full your tank was? Wonder if you were running low and it was sloshing under hard turns...it could be a loose electrical connector too - consider replacing one item at a time otherwise you risk creating new problems if any new parts are defective - good luck!

You should always use WD40 or similar on the injector O rings. Allows them to slip easily into the fuel rail and manifold. You need to be 100% sure that the fuel pump sock is actually sitting on the floor of the tank and not squashing the sock. Good luck at your next race.

Thanks mate :) It’s worked well so far, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I still need to refine some of the parts of it like the radio and drink mounts. I found that when connecting them, the radio jack on the car side would slip a little, and the actual mount would slip a little on the roll cage. Hopefully I’ll get the refined versions done soon and test them out to see how they go. Once I’m happy I’m thinking of selling them for whoever would Iike them

@BigRigRacing 5 ай бұрын
Generally in sliders, no they don’t. My seat is hard mounted to the chassis, so I could place the seat as far back as possible. The only option I could see with sliders is to potentially engineer some seat mounts further back then attach the sliders to that so you have some extra leg room

Hi, I’ve got a Trak Racer TR160 Simulator and I’ve been looking around for a similar system from maybe a 2 or 3 litre bottle but don’t need it coming up into a helmet but wanting to hook it up to a button on my steering wheel, button box or like you a just a button. If you could 3D print the bottle holder, pump case etc… but don’t need the button holder as I’m going to have a Stream Desk button box, so if I can’t wire it to my steering wheel, maybe the button box, …… Will that work, any thoughts?? What price do you think the cost would be please? I was going to try and build one myself, but looking at yours, there’s a little more involved than what I thought with all the valves etc.. How do I contact you to give you my phone number to have a chat? I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards Mark

What rpm do you shift at Mitch? Sometimes it sounds like you're up shifting early, especially from 2-3 unless that gap is just big - there might be a gearing advantage to revving it out to redline - sweet footage
@BigRigRacing 8 ай бұрын
Usually about 6k. Def some power loss down low, and I could push it out to around 6500, but being an old box, not sure I would want to sit on the limiter that much. Hopefully getting one built soon that will be a bit better. I generally feel the power drops off just over 6000 revs though especially in the slower corners. I have a few theories as to why, so ill do some investigating to see what I can find
@kristianhermann5971 8 ай бұрын
@@BigRigRacing I see - the HP peak for the G4FK is 6000 rpm, which explains the power drop sensation, but the gearing advantage, especially in 1-3 usually means there's still more peak accel revving it out - something to test if you're ever on a dyno or ask some competitors - motor sounds good through my speakers anyways!
@BigRigRacing 8 ай бұрын
@@kristianhermann5971 yeah the motor sounds pretty good, although I do think it’s got some rings on the way out, and possibly some bad sensors, which I think it’s contributing to the loss of power coming out of the slower corners.
