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

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

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
