hey guys.. im on the search for a neat looking surge tank...

now... i dont like the round ones and i dont like the upright ones...

but i do like these ones... because they are square... they come in 2L and 4L.. and are wide enough that two bosch pumps can fit side by side and have neat, parallel hoses to them..

but ive heard not so good things about this stuff. mainly intercooler pipes... and bad quality welds etc... which isnt something you want with a slightly pressurized surge tank..

is anyone using these or has anyone heard anything about them...

or can anyone point me in the direction of one that is similar... i may go with the advan surge tank which mounts under the car but im undecided.

cheers

I have no experience with these....but just wanted to note that square might be easy to fit but is a horrible shape to stop fluid splashing around. I guess a surge tank spends most of it's life full, but if not it would aerate the fuel like crazy in a square shape.

Cancel all that if it is actually round or baffled in the middle.

yeh im not sure on that duncan... they call them a swirl pot... but that doesnt mean that they actually "swirl" the fuel being that shape...

i guess i will just go with a round one... its more for asthetics that i wanted square.. but i wont sacrifice fuel system performance over asthetics for something that is in the boot.

cheers.

How much are they?

When I was looking for one I couldn't find anything I liked (same as you, don't like those round ones), so had one custom made for around the same money. They aren't that intricate, mine has internal baffles etc and is a really neat fit which is something that the off the shelf ones didn't seem to be

Sounds nice and affordable. 2L unit will work fine. They dont need to be round. Plenty of surge tanks are made in funky designs. Everything working as it should, they are pretty much constantly full. We have a rectangular shaped one in the race car and it works great! Lol before we put it in we had plenty of fuel surging problems though, that was with a heavily baffled 60L fuel cell. Its suprising just how much fuel sloshes around in a big container when going fast.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
