Im slowly doing work to my car and now im considering either putting a surge tank in the boot or putting an extra pump in tank.

What do most other guys do?

Can you please post pictures of both setups if you have them.

Regards,

Cristian

Impossible to answer without knowing the power target and what the car is going to be used for.

:( cheers D

Ohh SK!!! Over here over here!!!! :(

32 GTR wanting to push 300-350kw@wheels. Mostly drags, occasional track days.

Saw in fast fours tech issue that placing an external pump after the standard internal pump can flow for big power! Something to do with a higher flow rate due to zero restriction on the standard pumps outlet. This stil doesn't sound safe tho???

Sorry to hijack Cristian :(

Ok, well im looking at 400rwkw, and the occasioinaly blat around the track.

I know that both are effective (as ive used both in different cars previously).

Im interested in setups as far as finding spots to put a surge tank without wasting to much boot space.

If i use 2x intank pumps, id like to see how other people have made brackets to hold the second pump close to the bottom of the tank or if they have modified the tank to have an internal surge tank.

I used the stock GTR pump lifting to a 2L surge tank and a Bosch 044 from the surge tank feeding the fuel rail. Works wonders and has supported well over 300kw. I got the large kit from GCG, pretty good value imho.

Just replacing the in tank pump with a Bosch 040 now and leaving the single 044 from the surge tank, should support well over 450kw from what I have been told.

Hi mate, my 2.6 Astron is making 400kw, the fuel system is pretty serious, you really should be running a new fuel line up the car because volume will become your major issue. I run dash 10 braided line up the car, and have two Bosch 044 pumps. I run a cell but if you run a standard tank, id be running a 4 liter surge tank, fed by your standard intank pump, and then either bosh motorsport pumps, or a Magna fuel pump. this ensures good pressure and volume. We are talking 400kw at the tyres, 530hp. pretty serious power for a street car that is only going to be used for the occassional track day. If your looking at around 300kw a good intank pump with standard fuel line will do the job.

I run a similar setup...except i use the std fuel lines as feeds...dual feed... (to engine and return lines) and run a 5/8 braided line as the new return.

Ive got the bunji tube to run my second fuel line already, so im not to far off the ball then.

currently, ive got a 500hp walbro pump and it feeds 3.5 litres per minute, that seems to be working fine for the power i have at the moment.(last i checked was 211kw)

If i went with the surge tank i was thinking i would use a holly blue to feed the tank and have a bosch pump from the tank to the rail.

My car has 400+rwkw and a single 044 intank. The car is fine on track but I have never run it with less than 1/4 tank of petrol. A surge tank is defintely a better/safer and faster upgrade. I have all of the parts for the setup but still not sure on how/what is the best way to rig it up.

Could you guys post some DIY tips/pics and also let us know how loud the setup is?

Thx

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
