Hey guys,

Just thought we'd give you a look at what we plan to release later this month.

Our 1000hp R32 GT-R intank kit is in the final testing stages now.

It's completely made here in Australia of CNC billet aluminium.

Includes all fittings, relay, fuel pumps, filters, Gates submersible hose

Say goodbye to fuel odour in the cabin, hello to quiet operation and of course no one will even know you have it.

Simply bolt it in and off you go!

It will be priced at $1350

Also in the pipework we have the same kit to suit R33 GT-R, R34 GT-R, R33 GTS-T, S13, S14, S15, 2001 onwards WRX, FD RX-7

It will be exactly the same as factory, so ultimately for a circuit car you would still require a surge tank, but for the majority of big powered street cars, this will do the job and saves a lot of stuffing around.

for 1300 bucks it would want to do everything, I can see $300 worth of fuel pumps, the hose would cost 20 bucks and a bit of machine work.

I feel its over priced, when for 1300 bucks I could have 2 044 pumps (which would actually flow 1000hp worth of fuel), braided lines everywhere and a good surge tank.

Ps. not sayings its shit, its looks mint! but im not sure a single 5/16" fuel line to the rail and 2 walbros will support 1000hp

Its actually quite reasonably priced in my opinion. That part of my fuel system cost alot more than that, seeing how its all custom.

This is a straight bolt on solution with all the guess work taken out.

X2. Its neither an arse nor an elbow. Not suited to track work and way too pricey for what it is for a street car.

What he said, Im looking to upgrade fueling, but couldnt you add a surge tank in the mix, not many 1000hp street cars but lots of lower power cars that see the track/drags.

I may buy something like this if it could eliminate surge and supply ample fuel and still be all hidden away in a tank.

What he said. Looks like a nice, well engineered kit. But what market, BIGhp that doesnt get raced on low fuel as not o carry needless weight?!?!?! Sure you will still sell plenty as a well engineered fuel system saves a lot of labour costs

i am a week or so from doing a surge system , and in my opinion ( that's right mine) its too costly for what it is , i rekon with a few hours i could knock that up and add 2 bosch 040's and away u go.

and just for example .

surge tank with mounting brackets for 2 bosch 044's : $180 au devilered (at this price hardly worth making my own)

2 bosch 044's 200 bucks each

few ods and ends

+ this actually stops surge issues , i cant see how that system will

so well under 800 bucks u have a fuel system thats rated to well over 1000+ hp

not taking credit away it is a good idea, but i just don't think it would a big seller

c'mon Roy, 90% of big hp cars don't see the race track at all, 9% see it on the internet only. I guess 1% may visit a track once. 3 big hp GTRs in Aus regularly do track work.

so there is a market for this.

And you can be sure that billet fitting for the tank lid that seals properly costs a mint to produce. Looks excellent and much safer than the dodgy fittings most people use

On the positive side it looks well made..but does not address the fuel surge issues as already said & it is overpriced for what it is.

If the price was considerably lower it probably would be a fast selling item ..im sure people would overlook the surge side of things not being addressed if it

allowed them to supply the fuel demands needed at a reasonable price.

Exactly, if it were well under 1000 bucks It would sell like hotcakes, Hell I would have been asking about them for R33s if I still had mine.

It looks really good but like everyone else I'd be worried about the surging issues as my 33 is used for drift. May be interested once more details are released as was looking at going bigger pumps etc as i'm looking at changing to E85 and aiming for 400+rwkw.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
