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

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
