I\'ll take it if not sold already?

Hi mate,

I sent you a text message - not sure if you got it?

Can you tell me more about the 13b set up? You can mail me on \'rx2 12a @ g mail .. com\'

Cheers.

Hey dude, maybe try posting over at rx7fb.com as those guys might know the whereabouts of bits to get you going again.

Cheers :Thumbs-up

Sorry to hijack the thread - but is the stock unit not sufficient?

You promised me some information via email about it but not still not received anything.

GLWTS Rlza, looks a fantastic bit of kit and free bump if Carl dont grab it off you. :guinness

If he doesn\'t want one - I will fairly soon :Giggle

Haven\'t you you already got an S3 pumpkin?

Also - does the S3 rear fit in the Montrose?

You still need this bud?

I\'m a part timer and proud

Email sent already cheers.

There is certainly some strong feeling here though - but I got the distinct impression from Grant earlier that it was taboo to ask Carl anything. I\'m as curious as the next guy and innocently asked about the stock pump - if its stock then it must be run at a special pressure to achieve the flow. If this aspect is secret then there is no harm in saying so as its your business after all, but for the betterment of the community and the fact that you can\'t really make money out of not changing people\'s pumps - then why not spill the beans?

Anyways, ill wait for the email.

I\'m defo interested in some details.

I just asked for a little bit of info regarding the pump and it opened a whole can of worms.

If you are secretive about a stock pump then that just spells mistrust.

Even a fudged dyno would shut most people (who can\'t read them) up.

Carl made a point about HP figures being pub talk yet is happy to drop these figures all day long? Pub talk happens when you are in the pub and don\'t have to back anything you say up, on a forum with a PC and access to any file you need is when you stop quoting power figures or back up your words - pick one

This car has recently made 450rwhp on low boost of 1.3bar iirc, car has been mapped too more than that but knocked down for longevity as it gets used in anger a lot, and doesn\'t need that much power.

 

That 450rwhp was on about 1 bar boost Grant. it usually runs around 1.3 bar to 1.4 bar.

Cos dyno figures are very easy to make up and fiddle

I go by how a car performs against viable opposition.Cars that win clearly have the power.

What was the horsepower at 1.4 bar if it made 450@1bar??
 
When it was tuned to higher power than that then what was the peak hp and boost it reached before it was turned down for longevity?
 
Was that peak reached still with the stock pump? And can I cheekily ask about flow and pressure figures again? I feel like I am asking for someones sisters phone number - whats up with the secrets?
 
The only thing I would add and is that HP isnt the only factor that wins races - Driver, weight, suspension, brakes and tyres are all huge influences into what makes a racing car win. On top of that, a HP figure on its own also doesnt mean much - its the power delivery to match the chassis and grip that also plays a hand. All credit for the win, but the engine is like a member of a band - nothing without its other parts
 
Lastly - awesome power Blitz! Mega

Can I see the dyno graph please, would like to see the power curve?

Can we see yours too blitz? Would be intersting to compare them side by side given they are they same engine, porting, turbo and near enough the same boost and horsepower going by your sig details.

Be interesting to see the mid range although that can be dependent on the dyno ramp rate of course.

Carl - any more details on the pump?

Cheers.

Now that peeps have chilled out, and the OP is back online, can I re ask my questions about flow and pressure? Unless the pump is modifed from stock of course - but if there is some secret tweakings, then could you tell us thats the case? And Bretts question about ampere pull as well?
 
Also, what was the power on 1.3 or 1.4 bar?
 
Thanks.

Somehow I don\'t think that you just plucked the 600HP figure out of the air. I know full well where you got that figure from and so do you.

I have no idea what Carl does to the pumps, I\'m not interested in finding out tbh. If he says they work then they probably do.

I really don\'t understand you intentions for digging up this thread? Are you genuinely interested to maybe try these things out yourself or are you trying to have a dig at Carl?

Why so defensive fella? I have no idea what you are on about - I plucked 500hp out of the air as my post states - ("hp+safety margin for the race car"). I thought it fairly rational to assume that a 20% margin was about the right figure to arrive at 600hp worth of fuel flow, but not supporting 600hp - they to me are different things. You  added \'up to 600hp\' (which btw is 600hp in my book - but I digress) to which I added my 20% (or 100hp in round figures cos my maths is bad) to get 700, because I know its bad practice to run anything at 100%

I purchased a Bosch 044 for my wheels as I wasn\'t aware that the stock FD pump could match that - I am genuinely interested in this if its the case as I could have saved myself a few bucks. So far as \'digging up a thread\', well what really attracted me to this thread was the fact it seemed to be some new revelation based on the huge \'look at me\' typeface in the first post - are you implying I shouldn\'t ask or be interested in this particular fact?

I think given the jumpiness around here I\'ll leave it alone and stick with the 044 - you are answering the question but don\'t know the answer and tbh don\'t seem that confident in it either as judged by the \'Probably\' in your response.

Cheers anyways dude.

You do realise that Carl originally said "up too 600hp" not dead on 600? And he\'s talking fwhp.

The thing is Carl isn\'t going to tell you how he does it as it is business and has tried many things. Have you ever been to see Carl and talked too him at his shop?

If the FD ignition system is good for up to 600HP then why can\'t any of the other Mazda products installed on the car be capable of the same thing?

Hmm interesting few points you raise there.

First off - I only presumed that the HP for the car above was 500hp - a number I plucked out of the air, to which i added a safety margin of fuel flow to equal 600hp.
If you are saying that its capable of 600hp, I would then add 100hp of fuel flow as a margin as no one would run a pump at 100% - just like you wouldnt do with injectors - agree?

Second, if there is some voodoo majic trickery going on to make a stock fuel pump deliver huge amounts more power, then its pushing the boundaries to call it stock or make a fuss of the fact its stock - kinda like a hi flow turbo, or drilling an injector pintle - both of which are possible and done by people, but for most its fast easier to obtain a higher rated unit thats also new for simplicity and peace of mind. I would take \'stock\' to mean that whats in there does the job with no biggering around, end of - unless I missed something of course. Which is the case?

Third, there are more things on an FD would stand up to much less than 600hp so this too kinda makes that point irrelevant too - intercooler/clutch/injectors/exhaust/ECU etc.. Also - I thought most people chasing that kinda power would upgrade the ignition with a twin power or CDI system. Does this car also run stock ignition?
