Aeromotive Fuel Pump

[DaveB]

The Deatschwerks pump is pretty cheap and coming direct from Deatschwerks should definitely be genuine. I might try one next month.

the main thing to remember is that the c34's don't have a cradle like the skylines but instead have a box that clips to the bottom of the fuel tank

so going any bigger than stock will be a big pain to fit nicely without hacking up the box

Thanks pipster, but def talking about "bigger" only in terms of capacity, not physical size

Plus I have plans for the 3.5L that will need big flow. Do it once and do it right.

Pity the Proflow fittings let me down or the GTX would be in already.

So having a look through this conversation has helped me with my issues with my new s1 rs4. Car stalls on right hand turns even at half a tank and car 'sneezes' when under semi decent acceleration.

From what I can tell the aeromotive fuel pump with extra go in it would have me looking at braided lines as car is possibly sneezing as its trying to force too much pressure down standard fuel lines?

Also the stalling issues would be the tray and I should look at cutting sections out of tray?

Also curious as to whether the sick should have a air bubble in it?

[pipster11]

The fuel pressure regulator means you still have stock pressure but more flow

Definitely just sounds like an issue of how the pump is mounted in the tank

Also, what has an air bubble in it?

[wolverine]

^^ mounting issue

[TJHill]

The sock has a air bubble in it. Well that's what it was called when I was researching. It's the bag that attaches to the bottom of the pump which I suspect would act as a filter and way fuel goes into pump. Will try to get a pic up I have of it in tank tonight, on iPhone ATM.

[pipster11]

that bubble won't stay there for long

i dont think thats the issue

[zei20l]

its possible to have a bubble in the sock. from the pump not being mounted properly and the sock comes out of the fuel and sucks in a bit of air.

Haha found nothing yet. Look closely enough there small white ones inside that holder round pump also.

Managed to get hold of previous owner who has mentioned that after mechanic reported faulty fuel pump, he has opened tank to find standard pump casually floating around. He went to a wreckers who gave him this setup stating this is a series 1 fuel pump holder set up but I wouldn't have a clue till I get to look at another series 1. In guessing series 2 are different also?
