I would say they would just support two Walbro 460's, if you were mad enough to try and run twin intanks at that kind of insane power. Realistically at much over 400kw you would have to look at upgrading them I think, but there is no reason stock lines shouldn't flow over 600kw of fuel. Keen to try it out?

The evo I just built has a 4mm restriction in the return line in-tank, and the reg can still bypass enough fuel to keep the fuel pressure under 30psi at idle using a single 460L.

What did u change to fix it?

I went with twin in tank pumps and twin feed to the rail. Relays, wiring all that stuff was done too and it's running perfectly. Iv also got custom adaptors and lid to make it all work.

Why would you want to have your fuel pressure at under 30psi? Or is that standard for mitsubishi?

Unless you plan on running 40+psi (but you doing that wouldn't surprise me :P)

While we are on the topic of fuel systems.

Is there an option for an aftermarket or custom fuel tank lid? One that would allow bigger electrical connections and fuel lines?

I'm going to run a single 460 Walbro intank and at the track just keep the tank almost full.

But for the wiring I'm going to drill a hole in the factory lid and feed some 25A wiring direct to the pump and bypass the connections. Then I'll seal it up with something that doesn't react with ethanol or petrol.

I've always thought that in the future if I changed to a bigger snail and had to upgrade the fuel system I could install a transformer of such and step the voltage on the 460 up over 14V to keep up. For a street car a single intank pump is an attractive option

Their website appears to be down atm

but

There was one for sale on here the other day

That looks like a pretty good option. How do the pumps sit in the cradle though? Or do they just hang and you somehow sit the pickups on the floor of the tank?

Ah nice.

This must be how they sit (below), I'd never really looked at this as an option previously but it looks nice and neat. I'm sitting on the limit of my single in-tank walbro 460 as well with 450rwkw.

Here's a pic I found but can't embed:

I used a Gorilla supplied PHR bulkhead with twin 255 walbros as lifts, and a Holley 1800 pressure pump. The 255's flow 300lt/hr with no head pressure, which can keep up with the 1800.

I have paired one lift with each side of the pressure pump, and use speed control and pump staging.

As Darren suggested though, the 5LT AI tank with 1-5 pumps makes good sense. Use the stock or a 460 as a lift pump (R32's only), and use the large surge tank as a main supply source.

This makes the most sense or R33/R34's too, as there will be no issues with the size of the return pressurising the surge tank, yet the syphon venturi will still work.

I have the injector overhead to run lower base pressure, and that allows the pump to flow much more, especially as the boost climbs. Yes I am running 32-34 psi at the track on a Hypergear highflow atm. :)

JH32 have you tried lowering the pressure a little? If you do your pump will flow a little more. Depends how much more you need out of the fuel system. No way I would be spending $1200 to get a twin intank setup going, the Stagea twin 255 setup cost me nothing.

Whatever you do, don't drill and seal the tank lid for thicker wiring, it will definitely leak, I have seen it a few times. Do it properly with an alloy lid spun up on a lathe, then get your own bulkhead fittings and a multi pin sealed plug if you can find one. EFI hardware may have the parts you need.

Agreed, the Walbro can handle 18V or more, and it will actually lower the current draw of the pump. That will help with leaning on the 460's flow. You would need a Dc to Dc converter willing to push 30amps continuous though.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
