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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
