after getting everything ready for my new fuel setup

it dawned on me that issues with unused fuel returning to tank hot ,

could be aided by some type of cooling

i was thinking a small oil / trans cooler with a fan mounted to it might work

some thing like this

im looking for suggestions / criticism so go ahead folks

what do you think?

Except a car with 600hp willl heat up the fuel as it usually only needs 50hp of fuel and 5the rest goes round and round. I would say it isnt really an issue in a drift car, as they dont run for very long, and as rob said a good % of the fuel that goes into the rail goes into the motor, not round and round

Waste of time match your fuel pumps flow rate to your power output with a safety margin of 30% and you won't have any issues with hot fuel.

1500hp twin turbo v8's...... idling around town with aeromotive 11102 's there is a whole lot of bypass.. hence why we use them. Application

using a cheap tranny cooler from super shit in the return line on my car. mounted it just behind the diff.

i dont see how you'd be getting hot fuel in a drift car tho, it takes a long time at light load for even a 044 to start cavitating, not like drift cars are at 1-2% inj duty for long

Why the hell do you have two aeromotive pumps when 1 is capable of that horsepower. Why wouldn't you just you just stage the big pump and run an 044 as a primary? Surely a 1500hp car isn't going to be hanging around the streets for too long anyway

As far as formula's go. Multiply your injector size by the amount of injectors you have then add 30%.

RE-READ my post "twin turbo V8's" ..... im referring to multiple cars hence multiple pumps....

you would be surprised how many kms one of them does, frequently driving interstate.

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
