Isnt this turning out a little excessive for sub 400kw?

I wonder why it needs so much flow, le hmm.

Sorry mate

Didn't realize I was spending your money,

Flow is no longer in question Jez have spoken with e85 guys and they believe it's related to the fuel heating up to much second pump is to help with said issue

I think what he meant by excessive was its seems odd that your fuel system isnt coping as well as others have, I dont think he was talking about cost.

Eg some people are getting enough fuel flowing to make around 360kw on e85 using a single 044 intank with standard fuel lines and you are having to add a surge tank, bigger lines and another fuel pump. Granted I dont think they are going to be putting out quite as much power as you when your tune is finished and they werent running as much boost, but still.

Sorry WHAT?

Dont be so defensive like im mocking your hard earnt layout. Good luck to you, I hope your stuff turns out well, I message Jez on the regular and get updates on how your cars coming along. The way you replied to that is almost offensive.

Mitch above is on the money. Im simply curious as to why its needing so much flow, and in a perfect world that could have lead to discussion about what other people have flowed with what setup. Who knows, maybe a few great minds would have joined in and helped troubleshoot so you can find out whats going on.

Spending my money, pff.

:no:

360kw with single pump is the limit.... Well 357 was the final SAFE number anyway

Standard fuel lines were all over and done with above 340ish.... I had to go bigger lines and modify the fuel tank hat...

This I was not aware of

GTR/GT-t = same last time i checked... Wonder how the GTR guys are getting 400rwkw+ through stock lines & E85 (with just a Nismo pump) :unsure:

I think its a lot to do with the fuel hat itself.... It was a restriction.... Hence the modification :)

355rwkw here on pump98 and single pump no restriction. and 335rwkw on eflex no restriction all stock lines and rail. in gtst.

Well i dont want to go dribbling shit without properly understanding it myself BUT on my car the fuel pressure was unsafe at 360kw, after the mods were done and it was rechecked the fuel pressure was spot on at 357kw so it was obviously a restriction...

My original post from page 30 said exactly that.

Then I edited it in fear of a flaming :P Thanks for putting it out there though, I knew I wasn't going mad.

Sydney is warmer than Mexico. We need stuff like 15 litre sumps and 3 fuel pumps. :woot:

Hahaha exactly.

Maybe this will make a few people scratch their heads.

hehe :)

I'm a bit behind on reading all threads at the moment. Too busy, so i tend to miss post replies where I usually see most even pre-edit :P

Nismo outflows a 044. Im hoping my single walbro 400 will be ok otherwise i will mount a 2nd pump in tank

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
