Re: Shaguar
Bones, I have two Magnafuel EFI 750 swivel head electric fuel pumps. They can supply 2,000hp on gas each. As it is EFI there is the return back to the tank. Even at 45psi they supply ample fuel, even with methanol. Fuel volume/pressure was never my problem. Fouling of the injector was along with oil...

Re: Shaguar
They say will some head work, bigger valves and good valve springs they can do 8,000rpm. This engine has all that but I am gearing for 7,000 max. As you all know you can do all the calculations you like but what we do down there is a guessing game because of the many variables with no ability for a ...

Re: Off season shed therapy

Re: Shaguar
I picked up a 6" Clearview remote filter head along with K&N 5001 filter. This is a monster with 1 1/2 inch hole in the filter and -12 in and out. It also has an air valve where you can clear the oil back into the sump and view the 115 micron stainless gauze filter to check for any debris. ...

Re: Shaguar
I have a number of pics but i will need the help of my IT Department (Paul Lynch) to upload them. The V12 is now chocked into the correct position with the dry sump only a minimal distance from the cross member. I forgot to get a pic of the sump before i put it in but will do so next time it comes o...

It is bored and stroked to 6 litres, comp about 15:1 so obviously on methanol/E85 and NA for this iteration. I am getting Dick at Savy Motorsport in Melbourne to make up a dry sump pan for it as well a...

2018 Speed Week
What a great time we had this year. A huge thank you to all those people who helped to make the event the best run one to date. Also the club appreciates all the help from up to 80 volunteers every morning to help move the mats. I know I had a captive audience but on the whole everyone got in and go...

It would be great to see Trent and the whole Clare team, even for just a couple of days. Especially with the World Speed Trials on.

Re: Shaguar
I have a number of projects on the run at the moment with three engine rebuilds being done in three different cities in two states. The Falcon is the third priority as the other two need to be finished by Feb next year. I think it is unlikely at this stage unless I win the lottery and can farm the w...

Re: Shaguar
No he didn't. He is talking about the ED Falcon look alike. Getting two trailered cars to the salt will be problematic, and expensive. I might have to get another bus!

Re: Shaguar
The NA V12 is being stripped and checked in Geelong. Big valves, head work, bored and stroked to about 6 ltr, 12:1 comp, Manley H beam rods, forged steel crank. I am just chasing up some camshafts at the moment then it can be buttoned up and brought home to Sydney where I will do the fuel rails and ...
