Yeah, i think theyre 3/8 in diameter or something like that. They couldnt be in a better place really. Silly to run braid or any other solid line under the car if these are unused.

Shaun.

Whats wrong with just using the standard fuel lines under the car? Thats what i did, my setup is the blue skyline in the first post of this thread.

Can you remember the exact fittings you used to hook the braided lines up to the stock hard lines?

That was my first thought, however I find that most of the time it looks really messy or disorganised. I'm thinking of running them underneath the fuel rail through cable holders (similar to what's used for computer cables or home entertainment cables) so that I don't have zip ties and plastic conduit going everywhere.

Some very serious filtration going on there.

Are you running one tank for methanol/race fuel and the other tank for normal duties? As it looks like you have a distribution block that links to the fuel lines that run underneath the car?

u guessed it!

the sard surge tank is connected to the standard fuel tank which will be used for ur normal every day 98 octane

the fuel cell will be used for race fuel

the car is setup so it can swap between different fuel's via a switch inside the cabin

we are able to do this because the haltech E11v2 allows us to hold more then one tune map

so with a flick of a switch we can go from street mode to race mode

the wiring involved thats going into a setup like this is just mind blowing

the fuel cell is a custom item which we blue printed from the sard surge tank

we bought the sard surge tank from hi octane and copied its design and built our fuel cell from it

so not only is it a fuel cell its also a surge tank all in 1

the filler cap and lid are all CNC machined from billet

we will also be making our own sard surge tank copy's which we will have on the market for less then geniune sard items and they will perform just as good

For the fuel pump wiring, i used 2 30amp fused relays, 1 for each pump. Power is connected straight to the battery, and the trigger for the relays is spliced into the factory harness, its the wire that goes down into the fuel tank, its a switched 12v that powers on when u flick the key, easy to find with a multi.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
