Went 560 rwhp today on 23psi, and then started to lean out again.

Current setup is an 044 intank feeding a 044 in line - all on 98 BP fuel.

I think Ill have to go twin 044's and a surge tank to overcome this problem. Wanted to keep away from fuel pumps in the boot etc but cant see any other options now.

Simple;

044 in tank ----"Y" piece---- 2 x 044's supplying engine

With the 2 x 044's mounted externally (under floor), no surge tank required.

Cheers

Hey Gary

Just trying to find room underneath to put the 2 pumps ( in a safe place ) is an issue in its self :-)

Will 1 x 044 intank be able to feed 2 x 044's inline ?

hmmmmm i like this idea

what kinds of power would a setup like that be capable of supplying????

i would like to know this aswell, as i jsut found out one 044 pump might be border line at around 450-500hp.

im not sure how much extra flow your gonna get by running 2 044's behind the intank one. sure your gonna get extra flow by eleviating the strain off the single, but how much extra?

personally id have a low pressure hi flow pump intank supplying a surgetank under the car than 2 044's feeding the rail

How much are one of these A1000's ? And who sells them ?

I know magnaflow make a pump rated at 1000hp - I havent compared the actual flow rates etc yet.

I dont think Ill get much more out of it on pump fuel and with a cat ( maybe 600 rwhp ) - but its better to be safe than sorry.

Why not just get the Aeromotive A1000? by the time you have spent the money on 3 044's you have basicaly spent the same $$ figure.

i've bought my entire fuel system from summit, awesome service and delivery :down:

Has anyone removed the bungs from the oil gallery that feeds the mains? there is one in each end of the block between oil & water pump, seem to be about 12mm diameter solid steel pressed in (not a welsh plug). I have removed them from an old RB30 block by drilling out, before I do it on my good block I want to make sure you can get a replacement. Anyone know about this?

You don't have to put the 2 x 044's side by side, you could have one under the bonnet if you wanted. The only location limit is how far you want to run the wiring (voltage drop).

An 044 pumping against zero pressure flows almost twice as much as at it's rated pressure (72.5 psi). Plus the 2 x 044's suck, creating a partial vacuum at the outlet of the supplying 044, hence further increasing its flow. As a comparison, 1 x standard R33GTR pump keeps the surge tank full with 2 x 044's supplying the engine.

1200 bhp should be no problem.

Just be aware that you have no surge protection without a surge tank, so hard launches or cornering G forces WILL interrupt the fuel flow whenever the tank gets much below half.

Mine is running in at the moment, started it up on friday night!! Anyone got any tips for the run in process?

PS: Loving the torque!

As reported in many posts, I have used the same basic running in process for lots of years and on many engines;

Castrol GTX (the basic no frills mineral oil) with new filter.

Run engine for about 1/2 hr or until well warm.

Change oil filter. Engines can have particles in them that acccumulate during the build/maching proces and they need to be removed from the engine ASAP, these are caught in the oil filter. If you leave them in, the oil filter can get blocked and so it will be bypassed ie; no filtering.

Check the basic tune on the dyno or on the road with portable lambda sensor.

Drive to Bathurst and back, around 500k's, lots of varying conditions, up and down hills, freeway, long climbs etc. Don't rev the beegeesus out of it, gentle but firm, change throttle openings often, no slogging it in high gears with lots of throttle. Much better to load it up with partial throttle openings going up hills.

Drain the GTX and remove the oil filter.

Refill with Castrol Edge 10W60 and fit a new oil filter.

Do leak down test, if OK then final tune on the dyno.

Go racing

Cheers

Gary

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
