So I need some fuel system parts. Not much going on here in Canada or the US as far as I can find.

Torques U.K (ebay shop) sells what I'm after but I can't find reliable reviews. Are their parts really comparable to Aeroquip/earls and are their pumps legit Bosch 044s? Thanks guys.

Setup is overkill for 600whp but our tuners suck as does our fuel lol need to go rich.

They would have everything but a cooler fo me...

Another option is a locally (well, to us anyway) and very trusted company "Motorsport Connections" in Seven Hills in Sydney. http://www.mscn.com.au/Scripts/prodList.asp

Just an option for you as these guys have heaps of good reviews so if you dont use ebay and need a back up it's a great place to start.

Ah good stuff. They seem to have what I'm after but can't seem to find what make of hose and fittings they use. I currently have earls lines and need the Teflon lines for the trunk only so it all has to fr snug.

Can't seem to find many -8 fittings for earls -8 Teflon lines...

On that note, maybe someone can confirm what I'm thinking here. I've done some searching but didnt come up with much. My car is modded a fair bit but the fuel worries me...

So, for 650whp (so I don't have to upgrade a 3rd time when I change the turbo down the road), will twin -6An feeds (out of twin 044s/ 3L swirl pot) and -8 return be ok for flow? Using HKS fuel rail and ID 1000cc injectors with tomei lift pump.

Would I need a -10 return?

Back on topic, anyone recommend a good fuel cooler for the -8 or -10 return? Checking out setrab for a cooler.

Our tuners around here get us into the low 10 to high 9:1 afr (on 94 pump) at wot, so my fuel is taxed haha

I ordered teflon fuel lines from Torques UK after my locally supplied teflon hoses leaked continuously. His ones have been fine for over a year running e85, never leaked once. I run twin Walbro's, twin -6 lines with a single -6 return and fuel pressures are fine.

Make sure you always match the fittings with the same brand of hose, eg. if you have Earls lines get Earls fittings.

I need to look into a fuel cooler myself if anyone has information on them.

Ah thanks for the feedback on torques. So when you say locally, what shop or make of hose was that (you can pm if it'll insult someone on a public forum...)

As for the fittings, I plan on using the hose ends sold with the hose but will attempt to transition to my earls front lines with unions....... Might have us O ringed -an threads...

My that's a small return. When you idle or cruise, doesn't 99% of the fuel return? Those pumps should be overkill on a single -6 (return) no?

PM'd

If you look at the hole in the bottom of the reg you will realise the -6 line is plenty but you can use -8 if you're worried. Like I said I have no issues with my setup.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
