Good job I had got my camera with me then sounded like a VW beetle on tickover,but when he reved it ,two tl1000's around 140bhp each,with a wizzard of nos progressive nitrous kit to go on each engine,it will be worth a run down to santa pod in the spring when he's got it sorted to see it go.

no drive now either ,we were having some issues with one engine stalling so i give it some grief and snapped the chain. we think that having a single fuel pressure feed for both engines and each engine having a pressure reg is causing one engine to rob the other of fuel and stall when under load so ive clamped one of the return lines to make one reg control fuel pressure for both engines (martins idea) and see if that sorts it . even with some issues it certainly goes well but needs a double chain to drive the diff if its going to cope with full beans launching

well its the fact that each engine compensates the membrane of the reg by its own vacuum.. so the lowest pressure of both regs will be there for both engines...

if you want to dit it correcty you will need 2 pumps and 1 return line...
because each engine wil have its own vacuum caracteristics...
saying that connecting the injector rails in series will cope with allot of the problem.

im going to try it tomorrow once the drive chain is back on but i think two pumps and a shared return may do the trick , i sourced a 3bar bosch pump which should be up to the job but maybe not
