spot on neil,
speaking to a mate today who used to race f1 stock cars with big block chevy on a holley carb and he said 6psi , so the question is can i run a vacuum pipe to the regulator to up the fuel pressure a little on boost or will it be to much pressure for the holley carb.

8psi is a bit much for the holley needle valves, i'd set it at about 6.5psi.
neil.

with putting the carb back on i dont want to make too many changes, the holley just bolts straight on as does the top hat and intake pipe. the only thing that wanted modding was the fuel rail, with that done the throttle linkage bolts on and that just left the new fuel regulator.
this regulator will let me drop from fuel injection psi to around 8psi that i need for the holley and it also has a vacuum port to up the fuel psi when under boost conditions. made up a bracket to place it right by the carb as theres no where else it will fit.



i have welded the ear back on the base plate.



it was a right pig to weld but i think it should be ok.
because access in the engine bay is really bad i am going to set the pressure at the carb by setting it all up on the bench and setting from there.

i know what your saying guys,
had the fitech for over two years so dont know were i stand for a refund. we will see what happens .

It's not fit for purpose so a full refund is due. Sale of goods act 1979. Seller can then take it up with Fitech afterwards.

Pack it up and take it back for a refund.

agreed, your 'beef' is with the retailer you got it from not the manufacturer. you don't take your duff mobile phone back to nokia, samsung or whoever, you take it back to the shop you bought it from. same thing here.

So.. Is it gonna be a V8 Jagtina

I'll be impressed seeing a V8 in there with big wheels, cos I think that'll be a tight squeeeeeese ...then a turbo too... Unless yer going two seater and pulling the motor back so it's essentially mid engined .....I'm rootin for ya

you've not read through this build have you?

as you say blackpopracing,
i have contacted were i got it from and steve who i have been dealing with is going to contact fitech themselves and see what can be done, its like i said to him the car has done zero miles since i fitted it.
nobody,
the cortina had over fueled that bad that when i took the fitech of the next day the gaskets were still soaked with fuel. what makes it worse is the fact that 30 mins before it started and ran spot on.

i think one of the biggest problems with the fitech is from day to day it never runs the same.
