very interesting ..... hmmm hope ZPI-itis isnt contagious hehe just kidding ... kinda ... you seem legit and the pictures of your fuel rail look great ... once the first batch is out and people give feedback ill be likely to consider buying a couple things from ya! hope to hear good things!

ps. you better learn how to spell lol ... jk some people

 

why do you have to get rid of the evap and emissions control? when doing a return??????????//

 

interesting

 

i still have evap on my return fuel setup. no problems.

 

You are correct. I didn't even proofread my post which was my stupid mistake. I was half asleep and half intoxicated from a bachelor party when i posted it anyway. We all have these types of posts at one time or another. I do understand what you mean. I just now looked at my post and i thought what the hell was all that gibberish. But typically i don't sound that retarded.

I do not mind criticisms. You also shouldnt let one screwed up post make up your mind about me. I graduated from the top of my class in college with a 3.93 GPA. Plus i am now working on another degree and will be going for my IMBA.

 

You don't. I wasn't thinking right when i posted that. I was thinking of something else. To just put a return system on you would just add a line and not remove anything.

 

oh ok you do have to get rid of the stock regulater thats all that i know LOL might have to do away with more don't know though

 

It was 2 posts actually. But that's fine.

I'm getting my MBA, and analyze mistakes made by fortune 500 companies on a daily basis. So forgive me if I come off as a bit of a hardass about grammar, and sentence structure.

I understand why you came off the way you did, I sounded like a retard . I am sure that every post that I make I will have at least one spelling or grammar mistake. I also realize that my skill is not in keyboarding. I can hang with the best in any math category. Spelling and grammar, not so much. I have spell check for that. Spell check serves no purpose in the line of work that I do. I can't ask my spell check if I have the correct bearing tolerances or the right bob weights for the crank that I am balancing. Spell check can't tell me what the reciprocating weight is of the connecting rod that I have in my hand.

The same goes in your line of work. If some one from one of those fortune 500 companies threw 50 parts to an engine on your desk and said make them work, but make them work over a 100,000 mile time frame, you may have a few problems. Now that statement that i made is purely on an assumption, but i am sure i could do that particular aspect better than you could. At the same time, that doesn't make you less of a person, the way you made me out to be. That makes you someone that doesn't know that area of knowledge like someone trained to do that job.

On an honest note, reply to this with a quote fixing all of the errors that i made just for sh.ts and giggles. I want to see how many errors i made without spell/grammar check (although i payed close attention to what i was typing).

+1 for being open to criticism

Fuel rail looks great, can't wait to see some test and tunes with this...especially from the guys that are pushing some serious horsepower.

Edited:

Oh, and what made you decide to go with the TC? I mean it's not everyday you see a v8 guy / girl go from, well, v8's to i4's. (not that I'm compliaining, it looks like you could be bringing some great products to the market) And where did the inspiration for a fuel rail and the other projects you mentioned come from? Just out of curiosity.

Keep it up!

here's a guinnea pig from another thread: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...366&highlight=

 

I know this is a newbie question but what will this do and what is the application. I want to understand what this does.

 

very interesting... i would love to see some pics of that upgraded intake manifold...
by next year, hopefully you will have it done, r&d'd, with a nice dyno graph...

oh yeah, for that fuel rail... whats the flow bench on it?

very nice job... keep it up.

 

Thanks for the compliments and the questions. I have been driving V8 cars from the day I turned 16. I have owned 4 camaro SS all 1999 and newer and a 2004 gto. I have built hundreds (not and exaggeration) of engines for these LS1 cars. After working for ZPI I realized what this industry needed. It doesn’t need another shady turbo company as we all know. It needs someone that can design and make the items that will set this car apart from the typical Honda or Nissan or whatever. I have noticed the potential in this car (even without the turbo or nitrous). There are many parts that are still need to the average car enthusiast that still aren’t on the market today even after 3 or 4 years. I even told the guys at ZPI that they needed to make these particular items and it was blown to the cold shoulder. So here I am today wanting/trying/making these parts today. I now have two I4 cars and no V8 cars for the first time in 10 years. I now have a 2004 cavalier LS and a 2008 Scion TC. I think I lost my virginity again.

I am assuming you are asking about the fuel rail. Think about this. You are trying to put out a fire. You think, well there is a fire hydrant outside of my house. So you start to try to put out the fire using that Hydrant. But you failed to realize that there is a garden hose supplying that hydrant. So you have pulsations of water that wont reach the fire due to the lack of pressure. Then you think lets get rid of this garden hose and hook up a fire hose to the hydrant. then all of a sudden you have enough constant pressure to stop that fire. Well the fuel rail will work in a similar way but instead of trying to put out a fire you are tying to make one. But once again this will all change once you get higher in Horsepower and will need a bigger fuel line to the fuel rail.

 

I have never been asked the bench rating on a fuel rail before(very very good question by the way). Even if I did do a flow test on this rail I would have nothing to compare it to since I have never done a bench on a rail before. Damnit.... now you got my brain going on having fuel rail bench tested. you are evil. Plus on a fuel rail doing a flow test on it takes many hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment. Air flows differently through an orifice than what a fluid and air would. there are only a few flow benches in the united states that could accurately test this and it would cost thousands of dollars to Rand D this. So based off of that statement, any company aside from NASCAR, formula one and top fuel that says that their rails are flow tested doesn’t mean squat.

Didn't mean to make you out to be less of a man. Just trying to point out how careful people on this forum should be. With the recent ZPI fiasco still fresh in my head, I'm even less trusting of people.

Funny how the ZPI kit is still rated under the parts section of the site too!

I started to edit your post, however there's no good way to do it: Sure I could fix the errors, but it would change the structure of the paragraphs. So it would be useless to compare against your original.

I can however just list errors.

I am sure should be I'm sure
Shouldn't use "that" twice. I.E. I'm sure that every post... or I'm sure every post that...
Grammar mistake should be grammatical mistake
Keyboarding is something, some might argue: "keyboarding is something someone in a band does..." personally I wouldn't mark it as wrong.
Spelling and grammar shouldn't be capitalized.
3 sentence fragments (this is where it starts to become me re-writing...)

 

See, these are the types of things i enjoy (reguardless if i have mistakes or not). I take everyday as a learning experiance. But at the same time i hope that everyone else does the same. you come across to me as one of the few i can learn from. Some of those things you corrected me on took me for a loop. LOLOLOLOL
