A couple of questions...
Discussion
Hi all,
I've got a couple of random questions about the car, shouldn't be anything too tricky...
- If I have to remove and replace a rocker cover in order to fit a splash guard as part of the SC-Power kit, do I need a new gasket given that one was fitted about 100 miles ago when the cam was done? If so, cork or rubber? It has cork at the moment.
- On the fuel rail (near side) what is that injector plug that attaches to it? What does it measure?
- Would it be worth replacing my fuel pump if its done 60k and is about to have its life made less easy by having to cope with higher flow injectors and a supercharger? Should I go for a higher capacity one as I've heard that they are close to their limits on TVRs anyway...
- Any idea if the Cerbera has a steering lock? If so, how does it work given that there is no ignition barrel? I'm thinking of getting rid of mine.
- Where would I be able to buy a new prop shaft UJ?
Answers on a postcard please!
Cheers,
Nick

I would renew the rocker gaskets as a matter of course once you have disturbed them i would also fit rubber ones £10 approx
TVR Carparts supplied mine x2 £60 approx also renew the bolts Clever Trevor for those.
My fuel pump has done 60k and works fine i suppose keep it till it packs up.

Nick,
The mini timer type connector on the fuel rail is a fuel temperature sensor.
The rocker cover gaskets I would replace with the rubber type, gives a much better seal and can be reused if not to old.
Cheers.

PS propshaft UJ's you could get from here.

No problem running our cars up to 400 hp with standard fuel system, however I would not risk the fuel system if much above 380. If changing the fuel pump, best replacement is Bosch 044, this will give all the fuel you need with confidence. This could be used in conjuction with a higher spec/flow fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator. I fitted Aeromotive bits, quite expensive but acknowledged as being one of the best. I also uprated the fuel lines, but this is unnecessary unless going one step beyond.
Plug on nearside of fuel rail measures fuel temp I believe.
Gaskets, rubber ones are always too long and difficult to fit, having to bond them in place with silocone before assembly of the rocker. Pain in the ar*e I'm told they are all like that but I am not sure that is correct!
No info on Cerb bits.

Great, thanks for that! I've found a 044 pump at a good price, could you recommend any other bits such as high flow fuel filter? Would the original fuel pressure reg need looking at as well? The car will probably running somewhere around 400bhp with views to probably push it a little higher in the future...
Not found much about uprating the TVR fueling system around here and not played with it before so I'm not sure what to look at!
