FE135

Good Luck Neal, I hope you find your "glitch"!

Glitch found, all fixed.

Bert, I found at NAPA the exact same vacuum line that was on the car originally. It's diesel truck fuel return line. Has the same cloth covering as the old stuff. Gotta love NAPA, seems they always have what ya need.

From what I understand the G in 3G, 4G etc is just "generation" so that could mean different speeds across different carriers right? So a "G" isn't really a technical term to describe speed right? Correct me if I'm wrong here.

I think your right on the "G" generation. The problem with 4G is it is a standard that none of the companys have met yet but through "marketing" have used 4G as a selling term. T mobile is a 3G plus speeds but not 4G standard. Since 4G isn't the real name of the "standard" they can call it anything they want. Real 4G speeds are on the way. If you remember when 3G came out, only large markets had it for a few years and then it spread from there. Sucks for me since I live in the boonies. You vegas guys will be one of the first markets for obvious reasons. I need to find the article I read that explained all of this, it's a good read.

I give up! A friend had the

Rotary and had so many problems with getting it to run consistantly that he just went to a Subaru.

Not a suggestion, just a comment!

I love the rotary! Very light, massive rpm range, no rods to through, plenty of power. The rotors only spin at one third the rotation of the crank. At 9000 rpm's the rotors are doing 3000 rpm's. No valves. Follow some basic rules and they live.

My comment was based on never having a turbo before. I was worried about the vacuum line balloning or something. Anyone could have bad fuel regulator.

The only thing I don't like is I can't get parts at autozone which is the only auto parts place near me. Plenty of online places. Napa has tune up parts in stock 30 miles from me. Spark plugs are at the motorcycle shop. I guess another complaint is it's loud. But, I don't have much of a muffler anyway.

The normal vacuum line will work fine Neal.

I have been over 20psi and still have 0 zip ties on the hoses.

Great, don't have to get some special order overpriced stuff. Thanks!

Neal,. I'm curious, what is your motor and what fuel pump pressure is your pump capable of? On my first turbo injected car the pump was over 200 dollars and put out a ton of pressure and huge volume, to be regulated by the regulator. From the regulator to the fuel rail mine was a steel line! Is your tank vented??

Mine is a Mazda rotary 13B. My pump will do 90psi. It's a big overkill Aeromotive pump. My tank is vented and my lines are all steel braided AN.

I have been chasing a fuel system demon all season. I've fixed the fuel tank issue (bad sump location) replaced the fuel pump (wouldn't build pressure reliably). Last two trips I noticed some stuttering at high rpm. I was able to glance at the fuel press gauge in the rear view mirror and noticed some flux when it happened. OK, the only thing left, the regulator. I installed an Aeromotive A1000 reg and adjusted the pressure (60PSI). Went to start the car,, a few starter rotations and varoom, starts right up. This car has never started right up when cold. I usually have to mess with the throttle a bunch. Just ask Travis, he thought I was firing guns off in my trailer with all the popping before it starts. Maybe I'll get to rev it out now. I've been babying it so it doesn't sputter. Now you have the history and hear is the question:

What type hose do you all use between the manifold and the fuel regulator? The old one was cloth braided and they don't have it at Autozone. The boost reference nipple is on the other side now and my hose isn't long enough. I max out at 10lbs of boost and thought regular vacuum hose might not hold. So looking for what works well for you guys. Thanks

I have an extra intake and carb.

Let me figure a price for ya. I'm in Cali though. You could find cheap in LV I'm sure.

Just remembered some more, duel roller cam chain, HEI Dis with Accel mod. Cheap chrome ugly valve covers. K&N filter. Victor Jr water pump, MSD wires, and something else but again the memory just faded.

Looking for an Iron Block 350.. Preferably long block or complete. Minor machine work ok (deck heads machine cylinders) 4 bolt main prefered. Let me know what you got

I have the 350 in my old sandrail. It is a two bolt block. Comp xtreme cam, crane roller rockers chromolly pushrods. Stock heads Edelbrock manifold and carb. Hi torque starter Huges heavy duty 2800 stall converter. Other stuff too, just don't remember off the top of my head. Ran great right up until the accident in the car and I shut the motor off. Haven’t thought of selling it till your add so I haven’t thought of a price yet. I know I could use a ATC 70

Like Bert said, next year will be 100-125.

Here's how we'll probably do it. 3 classes instead of 4.

stock: 70-88cc

modified: 90-125cc

unlimited: over 125cc

ATC's will be limited to BACKBONE style atc frame only. That means no front down-bar design like a 185 frame or anything else. It must resemble the Honda 70 backbone style frame. Also, motors will be limited to horizontal cylinder only. That caps the unlimited class and keeps things pretty even for those bikes.

Any chance you can add a 4th super unlimited class for all the crazy modified bikes. I love them and they put on a great show. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Or, call it an exibition class??

Well I figured I would throw this in. My video from Pres day weekend. I'm not much of a video editor but the music is good. Enjoy!

I'm not really looking at a door in a fire with hardware and screws in it am I? I am sure that must be a photoshop right Neal? :freakin_nuts:

I wish I had noticed that at the time.

All the photos are HERE

Did ANYone else take some pics from president's weekend. Over 12K people showed up out there and this is all we got? Let's see some more.

Great pics, btw, Sean.

Just got home. I have some but not as many as usual. Just need to hook up the laptop.

Here are some of the Heroes of the Regatta. Sorry I didn't get you all.

That was great!

Could you tell me what the anti tension springs are for/do?

For those that want a copy of the group photos, you can get them HERE FREE

One of them is a stitched wide angle so you can see the bikes a little better.

I set it up this way since my e-mail choked trying to send big files.

Finally, I'm done uploading photos. The link to the gallery is HERE

Great, great time! Thanks to all of you who worked very hard on making this Regatta a success!

I took over 1300 pics. My goal was to get everyone and I think I did that many times over. I'm working on my photos and have some uploading now. I might need a couple of days. I have been releasing some teasers on my Facebook fan page.

Along with the Regatta, I managed to get in some great dune runs. Excellent weekend !

I mentioned to one of our secretaries at work who does modeling on the side that there might be interest at the regatta. I think she might just show up! She said she wants directions. I told her this would be a freelance freebee and she said OK.

If you guys want a model with your ATC, speak up. I’ll show her the responses tomorrow.

Yes, she is good looking!

Here you go. My trophy girls.

They would make good models!
