My idea.. =)

[PorterzSupra]

I have to run Cam 2 when racing to fight knock but its too expensive to buy it then drive around with it. I had an idea, instead of draining the gas tank and driving around with cam 2 why not use pump gas in my tank and have a little 4 gallon fuel cell perhaps behind my seat or in the trunk area with Cam 2 and its own inline pump then use a Y fitting to splice it into the main line running on the driver side floorboard. I will have a switch and when I hit the switch the cars main fule pump will shut off and then give power to the second inline pump with Cam 2. It would prolly take a few seconds for the line to clear from the pump gas but I think it would be SUPER NEAT and save A L O T of money because I could hit it when I race or whatever only and run on pump gas when driving normal!!!! What do you guys think!!??? :naughty:

sounds like a cool idea and good luck with it, would add some weight to your car though.

I have been thinking about that for a very long time (over a year) but I was thinking about using the switching device from one of the trucks that use dual gas tanks. Mount the cell in the hatch. niiice. but yeah, you'd definately have to hit the switch and then let it run, drive it, rev the shit out of it to get the cam 2 to the injectors and then switch your boost settings or whatever. Good luck

Vishnu has been doing that for the EVOs for a while now. Has a little switch at the front of the car. When you change the ECU program to high boost, it changes from the stock tank to a fuel cell in the trunk with race fuel.

Pretty good way to do it.......

Best setup of this type I've seen was Atomic Fabio's Mk4 over on SF he had a custom cell made that dropped into the spare wheel well for c16.

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

^ I was thinking the same thing, or cutting the spare well out and making the tank sit "flush"

I don't see why something like that wouldn't work

 

[silvergsx623]

i have been thinking of doing this in my eclipse... i hadn't though of the "switching device from one of the trucks that use dual gas tanks" though. thats a good idea.

 

[figgie]

if doing that forget c16

go meth injector

 

[supra90turbo]

^YES. Alky injection would be mint for this type of situation. Put a 5 gallon tank back there and you could run all kinds of boost for a long time before running out.
Also, it's cheaper.

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

seems like a lot of people had the same idea as me.... and i havn't even heard of it (from anyone else) before :-/, lol

 

[antman]

what do u do about the return?

 

[GrimJack]

You have to run dual switching valves, one for the feed, one for the return. This does work well, I've seen similar setups several times.

BTW Folks keep in mind

if you are going to a drag strip that has tech

that fuel tank INSIDE of the cabin is an auto fail. It is in the cabin it MUST have a firewall between it and the main cabin!

 

[hottscennessey]

even for meth injection figgie?

 

[figgie]

even for meth injection figgie?

if it can catch fire, yep!

More so with meth as when that burns the flame is invisible in the middle of the day.

 

[hottscennessey]

okay thanks figgie, I run windshield washer fluid- 50% meth, 50% water. No fire hazzard for me.

ok perhaps I wasn't clear

if it is the LEAST BIT FLAMMABLE (100 proof alcohol IS flamamble. Don't believe me? Light your favorite 80 proof bottle of jack daniels or Wild Turkey) or combustible it MUST be behind a firewall!

That 50/50 mix still MUST be behind a firewall!

 

[hottscennessey]

Oh, thanks for filling me in. That would suck if i went all the way to the track and couldn't run because i didnt know that.

 

[GrimJack]

Well... that's not entirely correct, there's no firewall between nitrous bottles and you, but that's a special case.

Nos is only flamable when mixed with a fuel I thought? Fast and the furious was wrong...
