Carnage - Supermang Gets an Upgraded Fuel System

Last time Supermang was on the dyno, Zane told us that the Commodore needed more fuel flow and thanks to Raceworks, that's what we're going to do.

No complaints with a Walbo 460 on my end. It's been supporting 550rwhp on my 1JZ Soarer for at least 3 years now, using e85 and 98. I think they're a decent upgrade!

[@reeegzy5470]

nice work on the pump and reg mate 👌

[@zeroyon9]

Ok you got me at the Blinky reference ! Well played .... much lols.

[@Brock_Landers]

Also, like the first guy said, youd get much more flow from your fuel pump if you upgraded the wiring that goes to it to around a 10 gauge wire with a 40A relay. I did that mod to my EJ8 Civic and it makes 709 whp on a single Walbro Hellcat 535cc fuel pump happily on E85.

[@Brock_Landers]

I also need to learn to watch the entire video first before I add my opinions...lmao

[@BOSPWR]

[@dragpix]

awesome work, enjoying watching this series. Does the cold side need a bypass valve? i.e one of those procharger ones so it's not got super high vacuum at idle?

Ive brought 2 walbro 255lph kits thaf came with a 45degree filter sock. Might be worth banging one in there to help with fuel surge which you made mention on previous vids.

Scotty I'd chuck a bit of lock wire through the end of that circlip, sometimes they vibrate and rotate around while seated and then you'd never be able to get at it again

[@RandyClassicCarsFan]

id only chuck a 4.2l if its a buick never stroke an ecotec. the deck height is alot lower on ecos so they don't like stroker kits. anyhow if you could find the 4.3l stroker they did back in the day they go way harder than the shit 4.2l

Scotty have you been watching Richard Holdener? His l67 very similar to yours making 612hp at 14.5 pounds with big turbo. Not rear wheel hp obviously but jeez. Good things ahead for supermang fingers crossed.

[@stoneshrink]

You need to march right back out and into the shop and slap the top of that regulator while saying the incantation "that ain't goin' nowhere" (or is that 'nowhere that goin' ain't' since you're in Australia?) you live on the edge, my friend, right there on the edge. :D

Missed some prime opportunities to set shit on fire Scotty, the old you would have cut that flange on the car and then put the fire out! 🔥

[@HazeyAuto]

I’d be curious as to how one of those Snow Performance water/methanol injection kits would help intake temps as opposed to traditional intercooling.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

In my experience they're not as effective as intercooling

[@jimclarke1108]

[@macarthurmotorsport]

We like the Ti/Walbro 360lph/450lph/525lph but have found with commodore and falcons the stock wiring gets hot and starts to drop in voltage which kills your flow again. 10 Gauge Tefzel wiring 30amp auto resetting fuse 30amp relay

[@craigsampson3386]

Hey Scotty would your fuel removal trick idea work for me? I have an L67 project thats been sitting for almost 5 years, so the fuel would've gone bad by now. So I wanted to remove the old fuel and put fresh fuel in before I start it up again and your method looks the easiest 👍 But would there be alot of contamination clogging up my fuel pump filter pumping out my 5yr old fuel?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

You can only try

[@kevin349]

Hi Scotty Im interested in how much it cost you so far in parts to get the supermang where it is ? why I ask I have a VY SV6 sitting in my drive not doing much, my son and I are thinking about building with a L67 and mods the same as the supermang ...we got to keep too budget tho ........ps. keep up the good work ..

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Mace Engineering has the prices on their website. You can pick and choose what mods you can do, some of what we have done is future proofing and wouldn't be necessary for just 300rwhp.

[@adamheazlett1179]

In tank fuel pumps a sure way to find a problem

[@darrellprice2032]

I think you should show how to bridge that fuel relay. Little tricks like that are helpful

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Sorry, it was so simple I didn't think it needed an in-depth explanation. Just make a short piece of wire with two blade connectors and pull the fuel pump relay. A little bit of trial an error will give you the result you need

[@Cl4rky]

Good idea if your a dickhead like me and accidentally puts petrol in his diesel 😂

[@christopherrundle7845]

Please extend your boost pipes!! Your silicone connectors sucking in is because your using them to make up so much length. There connectors. That's it.

Hey Scotty, good to see you back. Do you think the standard wiring will be up for the job? I changed the fuel system on my VY And the mechanic told me I needed to pay for upgraded wiring. Or did he just con another $400 out of me?

[@edwardmolloy7548]

Supermang sounds like an angry confused ghost 👻

[@vr350]

I think its a bad move going to a tiny w2a cooler they dont work. I take it your using the mini cooler because the bigger intermediate plate is the same height as the a2a plate. Mini cooler is next to usesless at dropping air temps. It should already run 12s without. It needs diff gears and tuning and will be in the 12s.Keep what you got just find another bonnet. My iats are between 45-47 deg on average with a 55mm pulley and 5% overdrive. So a2a or hybrid work even better than the plates under the sc.

I have become quite fond of the old VN Supermang I want a t shirt if one comes out. I seen a VN T shirt at some shop here but it had a VN doing a burnout a VB logo on the side and a wacky tabacky leaf plus to top it off a Centrelink logo with some foolish slogan I didn't buy it coz of the wacky tabacky leaf I didn't want to walk around with that nor I thought a classic like a VN doesn't deserve someone putting a centrelink logo on it so not cool I would of got it without those two things being a VN one of the last legendary Holden Commodores but it was so sad people look at them like that but they are now too expensive for those on Centrelink soon rolling shells will be a fortune I rarely see them on the road their still out there but not many

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Hopefully the bosses will let us do some more Carnage merch this year

[@Brock_Landers]

I'd really like to see Supermang get a single turbocharger with a 3800 NA intake manifold. I love the M90, but it could never compare to the power output that a turbo can produce on the L67. I'd never try to piss on your parade Scotty, but I'm a big fan of turbocharging.

[@Brock_Landers]

I just got rid of my 2001 Honda Accord with a JDM J32A SOHC VTEC V6 with a 2003 Acura CL Type-S six speed manual and a GTS3582 turbo running on an AEM Series II 30-6051 standalone that was making 502 whp on around 10.5 psi. Those engines are similar to our USDM J32A2 and make 260 HP stock, but they're also 10.5:1 static compression while the L67 is 8.5:1, so with a turbo rather than a supercharger can EASILY make 500 whp (ask Richard Holdener on KZbin, he just compared a L67 turbo to blower). They are very capable V6s.

[@Low760]

@@Brock_Landers Scotty comment's on Richards channel, he's very aware of his work. Plus Scott has been involved with modified commodore's since the late 90s, so he has seen the Ecotec power go up too

[@Brock_Landers]

@@Low760 Thanks for the info bud. I watch Richard's channel every time I have the extra moment, but I don't see Scotty comment probably due to the limited time that I have to go through the comments. I know that Scotty knows what he's doing, I just can't help but to add my 2 cents sometimes...lmao Still, it's always cool to see guys chase after a certain horsepower number or a certain quarter mile time regardless of their setup.

[@brettwatson-will3388]

Mang on.

[@vhkillah]

Bosch 044 pump 42lb injectors,yella terra fuel rails with reg built into the rail problem solved

[@MrNotStock]

For anyone who see's this comment. Fuel regs are adjusted with the engine off fuel pump on, this important if you want the engine to run as intended.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Hadn't heard that before

[@MrNotStock]

@@STREETMACHINETV Happy to explain further :) Ignoring additional factors, equally rising mixtures of Fuel and air can be consider it a linear equation of output. I.e. a stock engine makes 200hp. In order to double the output you would double the air and double the fuel. So fuel regs.... They ensure the fuel rises and falls at a linear rate equivalent to manifold pressure as the injector need to overcome the additional pressure of forced induction. At 10psi manifold (25psi absolute) the reg would increase rails pressure 10psi above the base line set pressure. At idle -18psi manifold pressure, the reg would decrease rail pressure by 18psi. The reg is set at ambient (1 bar actual / atmospheric sea level) this is the baseline for all tuning of all ECUs. base pressure changes between engines but off the top the super mang is 50. Pcm flash forum should have a post somewhere with regards to holdens and the respective rail pressures. You did mention 3.5bar in you're video though.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

@@MrNotStock hate to burst your bubble but rising rate regulator doesn't decrease fuel pressure with vaccum. You set the base and it rises with boost depending on the built in ratio. Not always 1:1 either. I've always set base pressure with engine running.

[@MrNotStock]

@@STREETMACHINETV no bubbles bursting here. Just a heads up to viewers. I'm constantly adjusting fuel regs that are set with the engine running. Most ECUs will adjust fuel over a couple days in the long term fuel trims, so no big deal I guess. Mainly becomes a problem in open loop fueling at higher power levels. 8yrs as an avionics tech, 3yrs full time tuning.

[@MJTAUTOMOTIVE]

@@MrNotStock, You have that much experience ,but you thought that a fuel pressure regulator reduces fuel pressure under base at idle (vacuum).
