SwirlPot and fuelpumps

Hi all,

Does anybody ahve a swirlpot in their car??

I am specifically wondering if the stock fuel pump is enough to pump into the pot with a 044 or 910 bosch to pump to the fuel rail...This way I figure you can leave the standard pump in the tank and have the return line and the standard pump filling the pot with the high pressure/flow pump feeding the rail....

Is this correct or am I up the proverbial creek??

Cheers,

Russ

The quesiton must be asked - what sort of HP are you chasing to need a 044 and a lift pump?

Wouldnt it be better to put the 044 in the tank? as these will flow enough fuel for over 600hp.

Not nearly as noisy! and the added advantage, if the pump dies, you wont lean out and blow up your engine (pretty unlikey though I spose, but I am a bit paranoid:) )

I will be building an RB20det with 2.2 capacity, forged pistons rods etc, 2540 or so turbo, I take the car to the track once a month etc and thought the addition of a swirl pot may also save me from leaning out, I figured it was more likely that the pump might come out of the petrol in the tank than for the 044 to die. It was more due to having a swirl pot than the fact that the 044 wouldn't pump enough....a 910 might be enough too....

Not a matter of need, but want, I was more wondering if the setup I had in mind is how it is done in terms of where things are placed etc...

Cheers,

Russ

When you remove the restriction from the standard pump by plumbing it into a swirlport, the flow rate increases dramatically. We use an R32 GTs-T in-tank pump into the swirl pot, then 2x GTR pumps into the engine... The swirlport is NEVER empty.

Hope that helps

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
