Re: Smart injection
A thought came to me when working on this tank that went back to building R/C airplanes in my youth; has anyone ever used a 'clunk' (weighted and sometimes filtered pickup on a flexible silicone pipe) in their tank? could go a long way to minimizing surge in a sub optimal tank set-up, particularly if the outlet is in the front facing part of the tank (optimum for a clunk).

Re: Smart injection
I have seen this done on some less than optimally designed tanks.
The people in the Karting community use them a lot over here because they want low flat tanks for a low CG. I think it would work well to a point. The problem is many people use it as a crutch for a bad tank design, then still get air into the system. Your tank looks good. Can't wait to see the final product.

Re: Smart injection
I considered doing it, but the problem I see would be keeping the hose from kinking or wearing. I was looking at a fish tank aerator with some washers attached at the top. Fortunately, I found a 4L washer tank that had a handle that shrunk the tank, then a flare out with a nice flat part for tapping.

Re: Smart injection
Silicon hose is very flexible and resilient to cracking. There is a problem of swelling due to high absorption rate, both with water and methanol. Use clamping type fitting so both id and od are secured properly.

Re: Smart injection
Hi Richard, the sticker came, thanks a lot, it's the perfect size too.
Sadly the tank will not be ready until next week ): A new less restricted intercooler should arrive today (the volume is not much greater). I hope to test with this and the stock one as well as no intercooler with the injection. I'm working on the revised plumbing for the no intercooler test. I have aquired an extra dash clock pod to fit the gauge into so I can keep the stock look(stealth). I'll get some pictures up over the weekend. Cheers! Lucian

Re: Smart injection
As promised here are some pics! I have only installed the guage so far, the rest should happen this week if the tank is ready, lol!
  In this picture you can see the improved intercooler and larger throttle body, the difference in top end power and turbo spool time with these mods is amazing, although the 1.2 Vauxhaul Corsa throttle body is perhaps too large (working on a solution), and causes idle issues.    In this last series you can see the restrictions in the stock intercooler inlet and outlet (well below the diameter of the turbo outlet). Cheers! Lucian Last edited by Kapt.

Re: Smart injection
Nice pictures, veay neat where you put the gauge.
It is interest to see the restriction in built on the intercooler. What is the actual cross section area? The WRC cars has 32mm restrictor making 300bhp. The installation is coming along great. Please keep up with the pictures.This is by far the most interesting project.
