Under Car Surge Tanks - Anything Available?

[Daz]

Anyone in Aust make under car surge tanks to suit a R33 GTR? Preferably a surge that will accommodate for twin Bosch 044's.

If not any recommendations for custom fab shops in Melb that could make me up one?

Thanks

Darren

If you want one then get in touch with Brad and I will bring it back from Sydney with me in a few weeks time. Or just get him to ship you one

what's the plan Daz?

[Daz]

Hi Roy, I just PM'd Brad, might need you to bring it down for me if that's ok??

Daniel - Going to be going E85. Also I currently have a surge in my boot with I want to change to under car....

big build? i've just got an intank Nismo, and it's been fine with Eflex and E85.

I got one from powertune a few months ago. Good quality holds 2.5L and has a mounting point for 2x 044's. Bolts up Under the where the spare wheel goes.

Not a big build just -5s, built motor. I was looking at the new Bosch intank but it's too new. Goal is to keep the car looking standard, was also looking at the intank twin 044 set up...

[SS8_Gohan]

so we're pretty much the same then. Built 26, 2530's. ID1000's and intank Nismo. That's it

Full time Eflex use (unless i need to fill up with 98 if i'm not near an Eflex outlet, then i just let the flex-fuel setup take care of things) but 95% eflex use, couple track days and about 6 months i think on this setup

I like the idea of the flexi fuel set up but not sure if the Autronic will let me.

I'll throw a few pics of mine up at some point today.

Its about 5 litres in capacity, Nismo "lift" pump (as that what was my intank before the surge tank was installed) and 2 X 044's to feed the engine. I have a Fuel pressure Gauge sitting on my steering column and at no point have I seen pressure drop either on the track or on the street.

I took the car to Unigroup and said "I want a 5 litre surge tank with 2 x 044's, go" and that's what I got.

It may look like it hangs low in the photo's but it definately doesn't.

I like to call it character, but beehive/hornets nest is good too.

Piggaz that looks good, can you see the tank from behind the car?

No idea what the Pro Fab tank looks like. I can ask who did it if you're interested?

Only when he is going over a crest and you're following at night your headlights will shine off the very bottom edge quickly - so it's very well hidden

Yeah, as Steve said above. Ill take a photo tomorrow and upload it. I'll stand 15 M away to give you an idea. If I just got off my arse and sprayed it back you would be hard pressed to see it.

we all know u will never do it as it would fall immediately into the 'too hard basket'

Nice Setup.

Which brings me to a question - what is the general thought on mounting the pump or pumps in-surge-tank. ie in the surge tank immersed in the fuel?

I have a 044 in tank (main tank) and it runs almost silently, I assume it stays relatively cool and free from corrosion being in fuel. Certainly when you take the 15 yr old stock pump out it looks brand new, as does all the wiring/fittings etc.

Any reason people don't do this other that it being (maybe) more complex?

And also, rather than running duel 044's, is no one running big single pumps like Fuelab, Weldon etc?

I'm looking to do E85 setup soon and so looking at all these options.

A little bee noise adds character.

With the seats in and driving you hardly notice the noise from the drivers seat. At lights it's only slight. I wouldn't worry about it.
