I have 1 intank walbro and 2 external walbro with surge tank and I want to use stock fuel feed and return both for feed... each pump one fuel rail side... and from cencer the return with fpr and 16mm fuel returm line... but fuel pressures are 8mm!! How I will use 16mm fuel line?

Also how I will make the fuel return pipe cheap and safe? Braided or Silicone are very expensive choices..? Black rubber or something other?

i use aeromotive fuel regs - great bit of kit :rofl:

also dont skimp, use proper fuel lines. braided all the way back or braided to an aly line under the car, then back to braid into the boot - i use earls fittings/lines

also, a -8 return line will be plenty big enough

8mm internal???

-8AN pipes have 3/8inch internal... so only 9.2mm!!

So are you sure that -8AN pipes are enough? They are like stock...!!

Anyway if I will put only -8AN pipe I think that I can mount it at stock fpr right?

u said ur using the std feed and return lines both as the feeds. 1 line for each fuel pump and they join the fuel rail at each end. how do you propose to use the std fuel reg?

IMO if ur going to this much trouble, ur best off getting a dual entry fuel rail, an aftermarket fuel reg and dong the damn thing properly.

-8 line is 7/16 (11.12mm) ID

8AN is 5/8 external and 3/8 internal! 3/8 internal is only 9.1mm and the stock is 8mm!

Some other people here told me to do this.. two external pumps using stock feed and return both for feed and then a braided return 5/8! Stock pipes are 8mm! So 8+8=16mm feed and only 9.1mm return?!?

I will modify my stock fuel rail to make it dual entry and I think to put the stock fpr at the center of the rail as in the other thread we said with other people here!

I ask them if I can use stock fpr with two external pumps and the said YES!

The thread is here... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/S1...ct-t202358.html

But now I don't know what I need :|

I just measured 8.17mm OD of the stock steel fuel line. ~1mm wall thickness, the ID would be around 6'ish i would think.

The stock FPR prolly "would" functionally work fine, but once you've moded the rail, and bolted a hose tail to the reg, ppl are suggesting you might as well buy aftermarket items.

Considering in other of your threads, ppl mentioned that the stock lines would support 600rwhp, -8 return would be fine. In the total cost of things, playing around with returns is fairly trivial, and can modified later on, if proven to be insufficient. Swot i would do.

It will be a true win for social networking forums when this car is running, and youtube is full of videos of it :D

farken jeebus. look at the earls/speedflow specs, not some random specs on f**king google.

braided hose specs - http://www.mscn.com.au/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=17

aly tube specs - http://www.mscn.com.au/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=95

modding the std fuel rail will only be the better option if u can get it modded for under $300, and a fuel reg only costs ~$160 ( http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...mp;autoview=sku )

  • 3 weeks later...

why a dash 8 return line, i believe the centre outlet of a after market fuel rail is no where near that size nor the FPR ports your throwing your money away.

still i made new supply and returns out of aluminium tube ( 10mm od ) and welded dash 6 male fittings to each end and used braided hose to connect to them.

cost was 28$ for the 4 male fittings and 9$ for the 2 lengths of alloy tube 10$ to weld the fittings on to tube.

If I was you I would replicate the standard feed and return lines in ally tube (this is the only cheap part), solder -8 fittings either end, split the feed to twin -6 for a twin feed rail and return from the middle of the rail to a good reg ie aeromotive and back through the -8 line.

http://www.aeromotiveinc.com/products.php?...b=1∏=11

I cant see reusing the stock lines as twin feeds as being economical, the lines willneed to be removed from the car anyway to silver solder the fittings either end (not to mention four off instead of two), would be much easier to just copy in larger id ally and halve the no. of fittings.

btw do it in teflon braid... and yes the jap rails come with -6 fittings, just replace the centre return with -8

Edited by DCIEVE
The Aeromotive fuel reg that you show me has 6AN inlet and 6AN return...

So how I will put 8AN pipes?

Also I cannot find any fuel reg with 8AN inlet and return in fair prices... all are very very expensive...

simple, get -8 adapters to screw into the reg :thumbsup:

I dont know why i wrote aeromotive I meant to write Magnafuel. Probably looked at to many fuel systems in the last couple of days as I'm looking to upgrade as I'm switching to methanol.

You can buy these from places like Jegs or Summit Racing for around $220us

Ok but this aeromotive fpr have... bullet.gifTwo -10 AN inlet ports, one -6 AN return port and 1/8" NPT gauge port

-8 fuel line and fittings to the rail is good for 500-800hp and -10 is good for 800-1100hp and the return from the reg can be one size smaller than the supply. Aeromotive make a reg with 4x -8 inlets and a -8 outlet.

Can you tell me which? I see 8AN or 10AN outlets only at pro series for 2000horses!

The most cheap aeromotive regs have 6AN or 6ANx2 for return...

simple, get -8 adapters to screw into the reg

This is the point I need help guys!!!

Ok you said me to use 8AN hoses... but if the fpr have small holes like sard that has 6AN( http://www.rhdjapan.com/images/product/102...rmal/Image3.jpg ) or malpassi or aeromotives with 6AN, will can flow the return fuel? Or if I will have fpr with small holes (6AN) it will not have any difference if I have 8AN or 6AN return hose?

Please someone to explain me this because it is the only problem that I have...

So if I can use 6AN fpr I will put fittings like this ( http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm/SARD-Fuel-Pres...-8-NPT1-8-17630 ) and I will use 8AN return hose?

be far easier to just get a1000 instead of the a1000 -6

in any case you need to buy the fittings you screw into the reg so you can do whatever you want

A1000 use Two -10 AN inlet ports, one -6 AN return port and 1/8" NPT gauge port

Are you sure if I will put just fitting it will flow the fuel? I ask more in the previous quote...

Yes I know them and it have 10AN Inlet and 8AN return but it is for 2000hp it is a bit expensive....

There isn't any other cheaper choice?

I try to see other guys cars too see what they did...

StageZilla rb26 t04z

His fuel system..

sard 1000cc injectors

sard dual entry fuel rail

sard adjustable fuel pressure regulator

bosch 044 fuel pumps x 2

goss intank pumps x 2

Alloy surge tank

twin fuel lines from pumps to engine

And a foto here from Stagezilla's car... I am thinking that he use 6AN hoses from rail to fpr to surge.

109_0920.jpg

Performance costs money... we've told you this a number of times

I know mate... check my sign.. I paid a lot and this is the last part I need! But I want to be sure that I will pay what I need for my setup and don't pay parts for 2000hp!

Ofcourse I will pay either aeromotive pro series or the magnafuel if you will say me that I cannot work with smaller fprs!

But the Stagezilla use only sard fpr and he has 044 pumps that they have more flow than my walbros!

Thanks for your help guys :whistling:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
