Okay. I am in a bit of a predicament. Figure the good old UK guys could help me out!

Anyway, I am currently in the process of a COMPLETE engine rebuild after my motor saw fit to spin a bearing. Doing a complete upgrade of ALL internals.

Anyway, my motor is being built to handle 1000+ WHP. However I am shooting for a modest 800AWHP.

I have essentially worked out all of the specifics of my build with the exception of the fuel system. That part has me stumped. I need a fuel system capable of handling 800AWHP. Intially I will be looking at about 600-650AWHP until I upgrade my turbos some more, however I want to do it right the first time around.

I know there are a number of different options, but I cant figure out what would work best. Obviously an in tank system is not an option. I know I will need some type of multiple pump external system but what?

Any help on what the ideal fuel system to power an 800AWHP street driven GTR33 would be greatly appreciated.

ok, if it were my system it would be like this.

standard pump, or small bosch pump in tank. feeding large surge tank in boot. then twin high flow, low restriction filters before heading to twin 044s feeding each end of a large bore fuel rail (with a Sard RJ reg mounted on the return from the middle of the rail) running 1000cc injectors. I would advise upgrading or at least replacing the fuel lines thoughout (ie big return will be needed).

enjoy :laugh: that's a simple system, and proven to work for your power level.

I agree with Beer Baron although I wouldn't be using a Sard fuel reg, I thought these were only rated to 600Hp. Something like an SX or Aeromotive Reg would be a better option. I am building a fuel system for 600Hp atw. Will be using standard gtr pump as a lift pump to a 1.7L surge tank, then an 044 and an SX Fuel Filter will be -8 lines from the surge tank to the engine bay where it will split to two -6 lines which will feed into each end of a modified stock rail with a -6 or -8 return in the middle (not sure on this yet need to find out if a -6 will be enough) to an aeromotive 1000hp pressure reg. oh and 700cc SARD injectors. Will use solid lines under the car and braided teflon lines in the boot and engine bay. If you use teflon lines you won't get any fumes in the bay or boot but they are a little more expensive :laugh:

Hopefully the tank, pump and filter will sit up behind the rear seats on the battery shelf so it's all out of sight :laugh:

You'll be right with the stock fuel lines.

They seem to be adequate when a good number of GTR's are using them currently around your target (440rwkw) :)

Just seems to be the rail that most people have a bit of a mod too as you've already covered off :)

And what Beer Baron said, agreed :)

600rwkw isnt an easy task to keep reliable, best of luck with it all.

i got a fuel setup for around 850-900awhp and that is a bosch 040 intank pump feeding to a 3L surge tank which runs into twin fuel filters before going to twin bosch 044 pumps then a Ypiece and dash 8 (1/2') single feed line to the front and then into a Y piece with twin -6 lines (3/8') into a sard dual feed fuel rail with sard 1000cc injectors and return is single dash 6 (3/8') into a sard regulator and returns to surge tank with dash 6 (3/8') line.

gotta love the humming of 3 bosch pumps all at once lol :no:

Edited by CruiseLiner

Thanks guys. Sounds like I have what I need for my setup.

So I should be alright keeping the stock fuel lines as long as I get a new fuel rail and modify that slightly correct?

My next question is about sound dampening. As I said intially this will be a street driven car, I dont want to have the hum of my pump drowning out my conversation! LOL.

Any suggestions on limiting the amount of sound produced from these setups?

i'll be boxing my setup ( 1.5L surge - 044 - std lift pump ) as its sitting under the parcel shelf in the r33 replacing the battery.

atm its noisy even with a rubber mounted bracket from motorsport connections and teh fuel fumes are damn strong without it.

i'll just cover the rear/side/top of the enclosure with a foam of some description to reduce the noise. Front will be perspex.

just my idea

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
