Solarflare’s *better late than never* build thread

[SolarFlare]

While installing and testing the fuel system we noticed one pump wasn’t running, after troubleshooting we found a blown fuse in the module for the pump not running. Fearing that this could happen at any time and I might not catch it. We’ve added 2 LEDs tapped right at the pumps so if there’s any kind of power interruption to either pump I’ll catch it, hopefully before doing a pull. Left some room in the middle for a third light if I ever went to 3 pumps.

These LEDs sit flush on this panel, the soft rubber coin holder sits on top like it did before with no issue in order to keep the stock look.

Came across a decent deal on a Mach XV 3" midpipe and Magnaflow competition axlebacks so I jumped on it. Car is now full 3". Sounds great, Ill add a video when I move the clips from my phone to the computer.

Couple weeks back the converter decided to go on me. Took the opportunity to send trans to Brett Lasala for clutches and intermediate shaft. Everything is back along with a 2C circle D converter. Should be up and running in a couple days.

Not a big fan of dynos but decided to visit local one being that’s Im planning E85 in the near future. Here were the results with P1sc with a 4.38 pulley and 100oct mix.....most unimpressive id say. Lol

Great progress and awesome car man.

No E85 near me but looking to go a similar route to you with 100 oct (93+Boostane). Currently running the P1SC stage 2, 4.63 pulley, MAK cat deletes, MAK intake, ported 2018 mani and full 3" exhaust. Followed your advice on the Gates green belt but still running the Procharger BPV. Seeing about 7.5psi of boost at 7400rpm and wondering what pulley to step down to. Was thinking the 4.5 but see you were on the 4.38 and wondered what boost you were making and if I should go smaller instead.

Thanks! id give the 4.38 a shot if i were you and skip the 4.5. on the 4.38 it was around 10.5-11psi. See how the car likes that based on the fuel you have access to.

forgot to update but this is on E85 and a 4.25 making a hair under 12psi

Update: in an attempt to continue to push the setup to be more efficient I picked up this nice piece from the guys over at Steeda. Will post pics after install.

Let us know if it's worth it

Probably worth it in ease of oil changes alone. The position and angle of the stock oil filter with the stock kmember is a piece of crap. And I use a FR- 820s which is bigger.

When you planning to do the k member install?
