Oh yes the smell is terrible. Some telfon lines are definitely needed! Unless there is some sort of insulation sleeve or tape you can wrap around the lines...

i also wondered whether there was a teflon sleeve available - i asked earls & they said it doesnt exist

naturally they would say that though as it would directly impact their product sales

The pumps are not just good for E85, they flow a shit tonne also. Highest flowing pump in it's application. They are factory fitted in AMG Mercedes Benz and the same company that designs and manufactures them makes the pump for the Veyron.

The only currently available line that can be used 100% with E85 is the Teflon braid 200 series stuff. However the cost to get all the fittings crimped is astronomical so we went with what the sprint car guys are running and it's the blue Goodyear pusklock hose. It's not impervious but we will be changing it out each year. At $15 a meter it doesn't brake the budget.

(Which is extra good for someone like Noel)

EFI Performance sell the pumps as do we. They retail out for $450 each but I'm sure you can admire the price vs quality/flow (~350L/hr).

I'll post up some more pics as soon as we're finished and let you guys know about the smell. Noel is unable to as both his sense of smell and ability to use intermanets has deteriorated since he turned 72

thats a good flow rate, bosch 044 flows 300lph

really?

im running 2 044's (actually 3 if i count my intank pump lol) & it easily supports my purpose

044s are great but those pumps u have look pretty cool

Yeah the rating that Bosch give them is (off the top of my head) 209Lph at 5bar.

I have heard of them as high as 220Lph but never higher than that. Having said that, though, Noel's car made 530hp at the wheels on one bosch 044 at some stage. It consistently pulled 500rwhp in race events for a long time with one.

He had SARD 800cc injectors but the pump was running out of flow as we couldn't make it any richer, the pressure would start dropping at full noise when we did.

So I would say one Bosch pump is good for 600hp (500whp) give or take a few.

044 200l/hr (5 Bar) M18 x1.5 M12 x 1.5 196 60 15.5 M5/M6

That is at 12V though... not 14.7 which your pump should be running at...

just what i was gonna say, bosch do them @ 12v not 14

also you other blokes like marko, you sure you are not getting confused with 040 & 044?

sometimes people do that :P

Sweet.

I'm looking to change lines to some Aero grade stuff, the smell just takes over and I've got about 1/3 the line :P

Not cheap, but smell = gotta go

Whoever's fuel system that is in the picture- You have to be very carefull putting hose clamps on pushlock hose/fittings.... it will cut the inside if the hose and lift the hose off the barbs either side of the clamp.... it's more likely to leak putting the hose clamp on!

It's not cheap, but aeroquip starlight hose and fittings have been designed for all sorts of ethanol/race fuels... awsome stuff!

    • 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
