hey skyline kid the standard fuel pump will be ok for a lift pump as for the surg tank 2L would be around the mark, I would go with a 044 as a main pump and 3/8 fuel line. As for the fuel rail depending on what type of injectors, you could go top feed rail either greddy or sard and 700cc+ injectors or aftermarket side feed and same injector options..

i just dont get the bit where i run 3/8 fuel line and if i leave the standard fuel rail its got a 5/16 entry so wat is the point of have 3/8 lines to just have the volume of fuel there to use.... and i wouldnt mind running standard rail with sard 850's reckon that would do

bigger injectors certainly, ive seen over 1000hp at the crank with 5/16 fuel lines. T04Z's, are you planning on a garrett, or HKS, and once again, 500-550what, hp at the crank, KW at the wheels etc...?

550hp atw.... garret t04z... hks a lil to pricey i think

just think about it when using a 700 hp pump flowing over 280l/h through 5/16 how long do you think its gonna last? make ya fuel system flow as much power possible its the main ingredient of making a car go fast the last thing you wanna do is restict it..

therefore john wat is ur suggestion i have a 3lt surge tank ordered with 3/8 outlet to hold a bosch 044 pump and i was goin to go 3/8 steel to the front and then 3/8 hose to rail but im unsure if standard rail will do the job when i decrease hose size down to 5/16... i just need guidance in the rail and injector department and where to get.... i like side feeds cuz the sit low in the manifold and arnt so obvious makes it a lil bit neater... btw i have a greddy plenum so ne suggestion on 3/8 rail injectors yeh lol help me

yeh but wat about surge tank bigger lines aftermarket rails bigger injectors and so forth...... i dont think just a pump will do it

Not many people run

Bigger rails

Fuel lines

etc etc. The stock gear is fine as posted earlier.

Hell i was still using the stock EVERYTHING right down to the fuel reg and made 369rwkw.

Plenty more have archived a lot more than i did with the same gear also

standard fuel rail would be fine with some modifications as above yes you can use standard stuff but the question is how long and efficiant will the system last...It all comes down to how much power you wanna make and if you wanna make it reliable...old saying "speed cost money how fast do you wanna spend" or something along those lines. Sard 720cc will be good for 300rwkw + with head room don't go under 700cc!

I am running 2 X 044 pumps from my (est. 4L) surge tank each with their own 3/8 fuel line to a custom twin feed rail and 1000cc injectors. My RB25 made 399rwkw @ 17psi using twin T3/T4 turbos.

I went big first time so i dont have to worry about upgrading the fuel system in the future.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
