What about the fuel filter?

8" minimum for fuel line and pressure line ?

Engine tune should not make the engine run rich in the beginning and lean at the end of the tank but hey sometimes there are those unexplainable situations ;)


Possibly grossly over rich low end?

Thanks, yeah it is a litle rich on the bottom, I will try and lean out.

Is it neccesary to have 8inch of fuel line when there is i filter on? Or is it better without the filter?

I get many many calls from people who get really frustrated and say there engine will not run , tune in and changes tune constantly . We discuss many things and they have almost all found that they had tank issues , 100% of these cars have been one or the other of those brands ;)


That's all I am gonna say

I can't speak on the Mugen tank, but the D8 fuel tank comes with cheap fuel line that ataches the clunk to the tank. It has been known to develop a leak. Some people just replace the line from the start. But that kind of leak may not show up in the pressure test you would use to find a leak.

the stone cracks where it meets up to the plastic on the inside of the tank , its been addressed and i believe they are fixing it if it has not already been done :)


super rich first part of the tank until it gets a little airspace and then it will go from lean to rich to lean to rich depending on the angle of the car and fuel level in the tank , very frustrating im sure :(

One of each:lol:, it's a tough choice they are both sweet motors, I was pondering the same thing so I order a Toro Nero:lol::nod:

kgombe 08-13-2010 07:58 PM

get em both

KWT-NITRO 08-13-2010 08:03 PM

ok just to clear things up.

i have them both already and i need a 3rd one for the WC (main engine) :D

My Plus 4 is fairly old now with many many gallons, national and international races on it. still won the Middle east truggy championship with it.

My H.E.S P5 has around 3 gallons through it and still in great shape. Won the National Buggy title with it and back to its box. but i do need a 3rd engine for the WC.

cheers

Ali

Toro or FMS:tire::sneaky:
