Im gonna run a bosch 040 in tank pump with better power wires running to it, and have the option of fitting a 044 helper pump and a surge tank down the track a bit. not sure on the injectors at this stage. how those ecu's going?

Why not just run a 023 and then you dont need the helper :P

what time is good to head up 2 burnie 2morro? bout 5 or so or after 7 ? will talk to you about ecu's then cheers Damo

But wouldn't i still need to run one if i have a surge tank?

Honestly unless your having fueling issue's or chasin big HP or thinking of drift/drag then i wouldn't really worry about a surge tank for a daily.

Both the 040/023 would flow enough to support your mods without having the need for a surge tank would it not???

yeah a 040 would have no issues. The R33 tank has almost an inbuilt surge tank anyway, the pump sits in a deeeepppp hollow at the bottom of teh tank. I have had almost no fuel and kaned it arround corners and still no surge.

Dont' forget the 040 flows about 3 times more fuel then standard, so there will not be a problem with flow.

ALSO if you replace the pump and run higher pressures, i would replace ALLL the fuel hoses and new clamps and a new BIGER filter.

I didn't change 3 hoses, and they split, so it's a good insurance. Scott at Purple pig will help you out there.

YEP the 040 would be fine, to be on the safe side then go the 023 (flow more but same size) and you shouldn't have any problems at all.

As Wog said change all your hoses and clamps as well cause it can/has/will come back to bite you :D

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
