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

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.

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

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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
