thought id share my new surge tank with everyone, it houses a 044 inside it which will keep it quiet and take up less space. will be mounting it up soon!

will be using the standard 260RS fuel pump as lift pump & the 044 as the main pump. both will have the direct feed from the battery.

044 is a dinosaur pump, there are much better flowing intanks around now, and for less coin.

Ditch the stock pump, it is too old. A new (genuine) Walbro is under a hundred.

Seems the pump will take up most of the space - how much fuel will it hold?

I'm using the 044 cause I already had 2 sitting here, walbro's aeromotive's ect aren't the be all end all pumps. 044 is proven to work for what I need so why get a over kill pump? I stumbled across a comparison test done by a us tunning shop

http://realstreetperformance.com/store/pages/fuel-pump-comparison-test-5.html

They sent all the raved about pumps for independent testing and the results show that 044 isnt as bad as u may think

got a walbro intank pump custom surge and the old tested tried and proven 044 powers mine along fine on e85. just make sure you hard wire them with a trigger relay still so they get correct voltage for maximum flow

That's the plan mate, the 8g wire has already been run through the car to the back. Just have to connect it all up and fit the tank! Should all b sorted by sunday, how much power u makin on e85 on the single 044

Edited by GTR260

338rwkw on 17 psi bit more to come sorting out boost control see if I can get to hold 19 should easy see 350

Nice, is that with standard rail pressure? Or have u bumped it up a bit?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
