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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
