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!!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
