I replaced the fuel filter and now it's good again. I also bought some stuff to make a wiring harness for the fuel pump. I'll chuck that in when I get a chance. 2

It'll be getting whatever voltage the battery is getting now. I still haven't checked the laptop but it is idling fine and has plenty of fuel up to just past 6k rpm after a bit of driving today. I spose I'd better see how it goes on e85 soon.

Bit of a pain with the Nizpro setup. Installed the twin feeds for the amps at the same time. Had to move the catch can over a bit. Sure is getting crowded over on that side of the engine bay. Then went for a little drive. Really reminded me how slow my bommodore is..... Put the Simmons on the bommodore with Invos, I have grip again. Like the colour, not sure about the wheel, realy like the GTS ones I had. Oh well a change is always good. Edited 30/07/17 01:19 PM by arronm

I adjusted the tune to suit and it goes quite well. It is holding nearly 19 psi to redline with a bit more in the middle and there is plenty of fuel there. Fun fun Ps which bastard decided that e85 should be $1.40/L when 91 is only $1.02?

Apart from a 10 litre jerry the missus picked up a few months back I haven't bought any for about 3 years or so.
