Every bit of info you want is already on the forum in various threads, start with the dyno result threads in this section which are even stickies up the top.

No way would i ever rely on a single pump for a high hp outfit.

Twin pierbergs for me, they outflow the 044's by a wide margin And at least there is some insurance if one shits itself.

Twice as many things to go wrong with two pumps. Especially two of lesser quality compared to a Weldon; plus you could get the Weldon rebuilt every xxxx kms.

Is the Weldon a brush motor? It will need rebuilding then. Is anyone running the new brushless pumps like the Aeromotive or Fuelab? They look like the go for 400 to 800 lph and less than a third of the Welden price.

This is a pointless thread as it depends on what the engines BSCF. Some setups will be lots more efficient at converting the fuel to power. I have made 560rwkw on a dyno dynamics dyno that reads lowish with 6 x 880cc injectors with 2x044 and still had enough margin in the tune for more.

I look at this another way. If you have twin pumps, one dies without you warning. Cars seems to run fine but is running lean and pops the motor. Running a bigger single pump and it fails you will know about it as the motor will stop :)

Mind you if we ever get E85 on pump in WA i will probably be forced to run twins, twin in-tank walbros will probably get the tick :)

The aeromotive gear is veeery noisy... but most importantly ALOT of guys in the US runn them and have to send them back/ warranty/ replace them on a regular basis.. If your pushing 1000+hp at the crank, then you will be re-building your engine more often than the fuel pump.... hp costs money!

This is my argument.... Iv'e seen it first hand. Two bosch pumps on paralell, one shtis itself and the other tries to pick up the slack.... it\s only lean right in the top end (the most important/ dangerous end) of the power curve. Especially if there's no non-return valves fitted!!!

For those using the factory hicas lines for fuel lines, whats the best way to connect to them?

Cut the ends off, slide a flare sleve and nut, flare the end and hey presto you have a female flared coupling.... then use any (correct size) AN or dash male fitting.

Other than they flow nothing at 80psi. Walbro HP's are better but those aeromotive walbro style ones seem the go for intank.

200L per hour at 80psi, so in twins would flow 400L per hour

On a 6 cylinder that's enough to feed 1100cc injectors!

Not exactly nothing...

They are right at their limit, the graph here shows it. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/357584-aeromotive-340lph-and-deatchwerks-300lph-in-tank-fuel-pumps/

Running them past 80psi causes cavitation, the pump cant suck any more fuel up and gas bubbles are produced by the vacuum, this will shag the pump bearings and impellers. Only a problem at over 30psi unless your base pressure has been bumped up...

The large Aeromotive pumps have had bearing problems in the past, they have the same cavitation issues unless you run -8 lines minimum apparently.

Don't look at the Walbro 255l graph, no one should be stupid enough to use one of those!

The GSS-342 pumps are the 255l HP line on the graph you posted and still even flow 175l/hr at 90psi

Plus as you said any skyline running less than 2 bar would be more around 70psi pressure :)

Got any pics?

nath, flaring the ends of the hicas lines so you can run a regular AN male fitting is the go, BUT the hicas lines are farking hard to flare. you need a decent flaring tool to do it and probably have to heat the line up a bit too. I'm not sure that I could get a nice flare on them. failing that plenty of people just use the tool that gives you are raised bump around the circumference and then run a push on type fitting with hose clamp. not ideal but they will work if done right. if your flaring for the AN coupling make sure you don't forget to slide the nut on first!!

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
