CJM Fuel Starvation Control Product, Round 2

KF365 · 06-18-2014, 04:40 AM

Hi Phunk
This has been one of the best track mods I have done, Totally solves the turn right problem.
I have been able to run right down to one light on the fuel gauge with no issues.
So even down under here in Australia with the driver on the other side of the car it is a great mod.
Had a few issues with the install which I did myself but really happy to report that Phunk was quick to reply and always helpful.
Great product great backup, happily recommend to all
Cheers

Never had any issues what so ever with fuel the entire day. I've taken it down to 1 dot a number of times off the track with no issues in turns either.

Overall I am very happy with it.

Any setup problems with the RRP should show their face on the street just as well as the race track... if you run the fuel tank down low on the street and all is well, then you should find it to perform on the track just as well as others who have race-tested it.

Just PM me, we'll keep it our little secret.

I admit I tried selling off mine as it would have been a first mod. I decided to keep it and will be going in on the 28th. Heck, I worked hard just to buy it. Hopefully I'll have time to use it as it was meant to.

Mine has outlasted the engine it was feeding! Still no issues and no fuel starve. Past couple of events I've now twice done the same basic stupid thing: forget to fill up between sessions, roll out with like 2 dots on the display at the start of the session, and just keep going past when it's warning on the display that I'm about to run out of fuel. Still no fuel starve in the corners.

I've had no issues with gauge showing -- miles (0) and drove around in circles lol cw

clintfocus · 07-18-2014, 02:26 PM

have any of you guys had a issue with fuel seeping up from one of the 3 studs on the top of the surge canister? Phunk, any input?

I had the same thing. I used some RTV Black on the threads, and installed the nuts on the threads and tighten. No more seeping.

i ended up using HondaBond

phunk · 07-18-2014, 03:02 PM

Its due to a revision to the product, where the 3 top bolts with seal washers were changed out to studs, to ease assembly. Using studs instead of bolts gives the fuel opportunity to travel up the inside of the thread, between the point of the male thread, and the V of the female thread. Thread sealant is required on these 3 studs.

This step was forgotten in the installation manual, and I have been asked about it a few times. It is nothing out of the ordinary... luckily it only takes a few minutes to address it.

clintfocus · 07-18-2014, 03:24 PM

Just handled it. Some fuel resistant sealant and a retorque and no leaking. Plus my car makes rights under a quarter tank and the fuel gauge reads correct

track test next weekend. So stoked.

martin82 · 07-18-2014, 05:49 PM

I'll have to check mine too for sure
