I have nearly finished the fuel system in preparation for the GTX3071 install. Twin 6an lines, one from each 255 walbro, one line to each rail and one 6an return from the reg. The one way valves will stop the fuel running back up the other rail if one of the pumps fail. The goal was to finally fit an ethanol tolerant fuel system and also improve the flow to the 1000cc injectors. Hopefully I wont need to upgrade the fuel side again, even if I get around to building the 3.5L.

Thanks Aaron for the help. :thumbsup:

the rails arent replaced. they are standard

The lines going to the rails and in between them proved to be way to small if you ever wanted to upgrade the fuel system. so these were cut off the rails with new goodies fitted/welded to them.

Im running ethanol on the stock fuel system, with just an upgraded walbro pump and 610cc injectors.

Scott found himseld maxing the fuel pump when he went to the 1000cc injectors..hence the fuel revamp.

personally i think he's nuts. lol

Or tequila :( So that's why you exist!

Now I see why Scotty's upgrading the fuel system, making it flow enough tequila to get some POWAH!

that and i think the GTX will definitely be needing it on E85

Are there plans to do a kit for others looking at upgrading to a GTX? They're pretty cheap out of the US at the moment, and I'm thinking with a kit it'll probably work out cheaper than a high flow.

Huh?

r u serious?

With the amount of stuff that needs to be done to make it all work...I can't possibly see how it'll be cheaper then a high flow...

it is cheaper than a high flow.

if you have a stock car, your doing a new exhaust and suction pipe anyway.

its really not much more than you think Jethro.

Its expensive for scott because he's done his highflow.

and its way more expensive for you because you pretty much got his setup for near to nothing lol

It seemed like supporting mods were the same, fuel pump, injectors, ECU, suction pipe, etc. And I've seen GTX's going for US$1300. I've been quoted three different options for the turbo, the two highflow options were around $1800 and $2300.

Will the gearbox even cope with more than 300awkw on e85?

Yeah the GTX's go for about 1.5k but it won't bolt straight on. Scotty's using a TiAL housing with external wastgate...

Those are pretty expensive hi flows...I think a few members here had them done between 1k-1.5k.

Also unless someone figures out this stupid throttle restriction thing you won't hit boost till like 5k+ rpm....LOL

and yeah like you said, more work to the GB...not sure if a shift kit will handle more then 300awkw...

No, it's not.

But it will wield greater results.

If you want to go with a highflow, maybe talk to Stao at Hypergear.

If you don't need a ball bearing core, he can high flow the stock M35 turbo for around $800.

Nice work too!

(just exercise caution as he really pushes for a GT3076 core!!)

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
