34Geeteetee Daily / Track Project

Not much achieved on the weekend, resprayed the radiator air deflector as it was flaking..... Replaced some dodgy bolts with nicer stainless items and cleaned up the 2 front A/C brackets, so much to do.........

The fuel cooler is setup from the return line to the cooler then to the surge tank.

Ahh ok cool, the same way i've done it then.

Is this the 'best' location for it?

Have any of you guys got a temp sensor in your fuel system somewhere? If so, where?

I'm putting one in mine, my idea was to have it in the return line just before the fuel cooler.

[34GeeTeeTee]

No temp sensor in mine at this stage, however i would love to be able to monitor it....

And yes i believe the location is the only spot for it, it is setup similar to the Z tune i think

I would put the sensor just before the fuel rail so you know what temperature the fuel is when it gets to the engine. Knowing what it is pre-cooler doesn't help much?

[kitto]

My reason for putting the temp sensor post fuel reg, in between the fuel cooler is this should theoretically be the hottest part of the fuel system?

I would imagine so, either location is still going to give you an indication if the fuel temps are rising.... I still find my surge tank getting hot which i dont think is normal, however everything is running optimal so i guess it is?

How is the tank plumbed from top to bottom?

Eh? What you mean mate?

One thing i did learn is that the fuel cooler has ruined my normal jacking up procedure, if i jack the back first it makes the front too low, now if i jack the front first i get this -

LOL and yes that is a snap on super low jack already!

All good, will just have to change the way i do it!

[34GeeTeeTee]

And i broke another POS ISC arm in the rear, they flog out or break in no time! Garbage! So i replaced it with more cheap stuff for now until i can afford to do it properly -

This will need to be my next purchase i think! I have now replaced the shitty ISC front caster rods with GKTECH arms and the car feels so much better! And they are so light too!

How is the tank plumbed from top to bottom?

There are 4x hoses that connect to the surge tank. All should be at different heights. But some tank are different.

Eg theres two ways to dot it.

From top to bottom;

1.

- Return to main tank

- Return from fuel rail

- Feed from main tank lift pump

- Feed to main pressure pump(s)

2.

- Return from fuel rail

- Return to main tank

- Feed from main tank lift pump

- Feed to main pressure pump(s)

Which way is yours done?

The 1st option heats the fuel as the surge tank has to be pressurised to return fuel to the main tank. The main pressure pump and the lift pump have to work harder to fully fill the surge tank allowing fuel to flow out of the top fitting back to the main tank.

You want a small air gap at the top of the surge tank with the return line back to the main tank jn between the return from the rail and the lift pump inlet.

If that makes sense?

[34GeeTeeTee]

I just double checked so i didnt get it completely wrong

Fuel tank to surge tank, feeds twin 044s to twin lines to each side of rail, center of rail returning via fuel reg to return line to surge tank over flow to fuel cooler into fuel tank, tank feeds surge.

[kitto]

Yes thats correct. But what height is each line at on the tank?

Loving the build mate. Engine bay looks clean and stealthy...

Thanks mate! Makes it well worth it when not only do i get to enjoy the car BUT i get people appreciating the hard work and money etc that goes into such a build

Some plumbed back low boost action over the weekend, a lot of fun -

1st run of the day to get to know the track -
