Hi

Im getting ready for some decent mods to go with e85 later this year but I rekon I'll need a surge tank. Im hoping someone has some dimensions for an under car dual pump surge tank. Even if someone knows how much available space is there under the rear seat on a r33 that would be sweet

Thanks in advance

Paul

Thanks for the advice guys.

It seems every tuner I speak to is recomending a surge tank and dual pumps. Is this over kill? I wouldnt mind saving the money if its not needed

Cheers

you then ask how many E85 setups they've played with....

i had a GTT before my R, and with a similar sized turbo to what you're planning on running and E85, all i had was a drop-in Walbro. No issues what-so-ever, track days included.

save your money, you don't need to spend it on such an elaborate setup

Thanks again guys. Rekon I'll give it a miss untill it seems I need it. Now for the age ol question of the 3071 or 3076, been trying to figure it out forever and keep changing my mind lol. Any advice?

Ditch the surge tank, I almost spent big money on a setup only after reading opinions and facts. Unless you are driving around like a dickhead on your last quater tank, you'll be fine. I don't let my car drop far below half.

Ditch the Garret, Hypergear turbo. Designed, tried and tested for the and only for the skyline.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
