Just wanted to mention that at this point they are all spoken for. Anyone to contact me about it from this point forward will be placed in order on a waiting list. From there it will depend on if anyone bails out on this batch, or if they will have to wait until the next batch.
|
You get my name on there. I tried calling.
|
^^^ nice chatting with you! talk to you soon.

I'm not backing out at any price, although I know you will be fair with it.

Waiting for that e-Mail. Last weekend I was Two Dots below Full and getting fuel cut.
|
Half a tank, deserted straight half-mile of industrial road, WOT, halfway thru third gear it was just like I popped a chute.. please stop the madness!

To be fair when mine reads half a tank I've put 8-9 gallons in it, but yes, WOT straight line, 60-20-60 on a hard righthander on the street, freeway cloverleaf, or sweeping righthander on track. The 09's have the worst of it.:thumbsdown:

should have what i was calling the final part in the last machine process by the end of the day or early tomorrow. we got a little behind since brandon was renewing his vows or something like that friday so i was alone at the shop thursday and friday. hoping to get the part completed tomorrow then. we did end up changing our level sensor mount... we were going to be using the ones that we put on our twin fuel pump assembly, but we are doing it a little different, which is one more part to machine now but its a simple part that requires no fixturing or anything... so as soon as this other part is done we can immediately machine that.
a backorder list has been started for the next batch now. |
Let me know when your ready for payment? I'm ready to send now
|
Quick story, at Laguna Seca I had a light fuel starvation issue. Where you have three right handers in a row, I came off the racing line and made a hard left in a straight. Doing this the last three laps bandaged the problem till I refilled.
Of course I was questioned about what I was doing. Are you drunk? One more reason to buy this product. |

Two Dots Down At NOLA and I hit fuel starvation. I can barely Finnish one heat before I hit fuel starvation.

So, I havent been using the mailing list for updates like I said I would. I apologize for that. We actually decided to stay a little private about the design for now. We are building this for other applications and dont want anyone else to beat us to our own punchline.
But just for those of you fearing that I am going to drag you along for another year... (I hope it looks expensive, because its getting there) :) :wtf2: |
That screams quality and knowing what it does. Priceless
|
Will you be able to use the Stock fuel pump on both pump brackets?
|
this fuel pump assembly has been designed to be extremely adaptable for all sorts of different configurations of surge-can use or standalone fuel pump assembly use.
it is built of so many seperate components mostly so that it can be reconfigured as needed. at this point in time for initial release, we are currently supporting it for use only as a surge-can to work in supplement to the stock fuel pump assembly. in that scenario the stock fuel pump will be busy feeding this product. in the case where someone may wish to reconfigure it or purchase it solely for use as a standalone/independant fuel pump assembly in which it would completely replace the stock fuel pump sending unit, we will have a specific model pump that it will require at least as the primary fuel pump (since it supports up to 2 pumps). this "special" model fuel pump (sounds expensive but its like any other walbro 255) i mention has a secondary feature that will aid in filling of this surge can. To use this product as a standalone fuel pump assembly, if PnP is desired, then a filter and regulator will need to be integrated internally. That is something we will be working on in the future. But if someone wanted to use an external adjustable regulator and external filter, then we could immediately prepare one for standalone use by simply machining a couple holes in the top for fittings. There will still be more modifications to perform to get back the over-tank siphoning ability though. So ultimately, I would highly recommend that anyone who wants to use it in standalone configuration to wait for us to release the parts for it. |
This product should go to SEMA and win product of the year. This is one of the best thought out needed mods for our community. No one here (no one) has made anything that is truly this useful as this. Can't wait to get mine.
Buying this from you is not going to give you the props you deserve IMO. |
^^^ thanks!! we appreciate positive and kind feedback :)

I am awaiting that email so I can get one Charles. Thanks for the e-mail update today. I know Chris, Mike and I are ready to JUMP on this as soon as you release it. I am sure will all be glad to to write up some reviews once we get it installed and tested. BTW: I may have a buddy be contacting you about one for his 600+ Whp G37. He get fuel Starvation bad to at the track. |

someone really needed to come out with something to fight against our badly configured gas tank !! It wasnt that bad with my 350z but with the 370z, it is just ridiculous !!!:shakes head: I had another unit in mind as a surge tank (not that expensive ) but since phunk is gonna release one soon ?!?!! Im giving him a chance with the pricing as I know it will be working as mentionned before. |
It looks good!
How complicated is the install going to be given the limited access to the tank? I'm a pretty avid DIY'er but this one looks a little intimidating even for me. I do have access to a good race shop though. |
Intimidating and frustrating first-time DIY jobs are the best kind, you learn so much :)
|
Ive talked to Phunk about this a couple of times. It seems the install itself is not going to be bad at all. But I'm not easly intimindated by much. He plans to make great pics of a tank outside of the car to give better clear details. I feel the hardest part for most is the tight area to work in. But being my car is gutted and the seats can come out in less than a minute shouldnt be a issue.
Then you have to wire it up but that shouldn't be to bad either. Phunk is really taking a lot of the guess work out of it. |
^^ ^^
installation should be pretty simple for anyone. To take the seats out would make it a breeze, but I will probably leave mine in while doing it.... im used to digging around the gas tanks of Zs. I will have a step by step manual or perhaps a video if it makes more sense. Just basic tools are required. I think anyone who could install a cold air intake, exhaust, and change their brakes, would consider this to be a pretty easy journey. it's just a matter of dabbling with a part of the car that most people never dig into. |
Don't forget to put a big "No Smoking" sign at the top of the instruction sheet :)

Yeah in reality you'd be surprised how hard it is to light gas on fire with a cigarette. The vapor density has to be just perfect, etc. Still, I don't think I'd risk it personally :P
|
More than 80% sure I will be purchasing this a couple months from now.
|
Think this will be my winter project. :xmastup:
