Car suffered a fuel pump failure, Pudz will be back here soon

Thanx for keeping us updated Tim.

Fark, that's not good. A lot of forum members including me, are using the DW65c fuel pump.

Hey G

And yes this is the exact one that has gone kaput. Only been in the car for 6 weeks. WTF

Have a replacement on the way under warranty, be here Monday.

G and all

Any tricks on getting the pump out of the cradle, it is proving to be a PITA. Matt suggested 2 slim screwdrivers up each side to release the tabs holding the pump in.
But so far no success.

I don't remember killing any chinamen (sorry im by no means a racsist ) in the last few weeks, but sure feels like it with these extra dramas.

Will do an update on S/C dyno day when I have some more time and im not feeling frazzled.

Thanx all for ur help and encouragement so far.

2 small screwdrivers worked for me, but took me bloody ages both times to get the pump out.

Took me about 4 hrs to fit my dw300 its a little moe modding then the dw65

Good luck

Dyno Results

Day 29*C & 75% Humidity

First 4th gear pull produced 185 atwkw on Matts road tune. From here Matt worked on improving low - mid range torque.

Final run produced 182 atwkw but by this time Lib was suffering significant clutch slip. Clutch was fine over the next week or so on road pulls.

Car has pulled really strong from 3200 - 7100rpm in this time and my bum dyno suggests closer to 200 atw.

All pulls in 4th gear

Pretty sure 3rd Gear on the printout is a typo by dyno owner

Last few days the stock centre muffler has self destructed inside and is leaking externally so affecting tune and performance. Could dyno runs have f***ed it ?
Conservative running till I have a fix organised.

Cheers mate

yeah one more little PITA, I have a good 2nd hand one on the way from Jarrod's part out 3rb.

Btw have you upgraded the mid-pipe, rear y-pipe and still running the stock centre muffler.

Ive been advised by a few to keep the centre muffler at all costs, otherwise noise is out of control. Im luving the sound now, so don't want it to change.

[PUDZ RSC3.0RB]

Grant, just have read through the last few pages of your build - this is a weapon of a car now mate!!!

Hi Al

Thanx for ur comments, yeah im pretty happy with how its all come along.

What next?? Whats that stuff all the boys are raving about.......... Aww yeah E85. United Coffs, we will see - maybe.

Should just enjoy the car with the SC for a while I think.

Grant,

You may want to look into what Mark (MH3.0R) has done re a full custom exhaust as he is also boosted and wanted flow without stupid noise levels. Have a read from here onwards, and sound clip after custom exhaust:

Here is the video of the Sound Pressuring Testing:

Cheers Al, ill have a read thru Mark's thread later when i have a bit more time. On the tee in 25 minutes.

Grant,

I have s/s xforce cat back with magnaflow mufflers. I'm going to be replacing the xforce center muffler with something like what mh3r did, as I have slight drone that is starting to annoy me.

Yeah G worked out I had to fully remove the top of the cradle, leaving just the pump and internal cradle if that makes sense.
Then access to the top of the pump with 2 small screwdrivers is much easier.

Ended up just welding in a cheap n good 2nd hand centre muffler from a GT. Exactly the same dimensions as a 3.0R.
