Hi guys and girls,

Im having some problems with my fuel system. My car on the dyno is making 300 RWKW but if the workshop tunes it more than that the car physically runs out of fuel. The fuel system spec's as follows

- New areomotive stealth 340 intank pump.

- Reconed 8 (something) cc injectors.

- New fuel filter.

- Stock fuel pressure reg.

The fuel pump has been wired up right using 10g wire and a 30A relay as per instructions and has been install and place on the bracket so it reachs bottom of the tank.

I called the guys that sells the pumps and said that they are happy to test and replace if needed but he commented that they haven't heard of a faulty one nor did he say its not possible and that that pump should be ok for the job. But im in the process of elimination. But i want to know how much can the stock fuel reg make?

Any help would be great!

Many thanks

I've seen the stock fuel reg make well over 300kw before. My tuner said he uses the stock fuel reg in most applications if he can, and he tunes some serious cars. So unless there is a problem there, I doubt it is your reg. What duty cycle are the injectors being run at?

I'd be looking at the pump.

^ same thing i was thinking.

Either way it won't be the stock reg causing a problem unless it's stuffed as they will hold a lot more with correctly sized injectors... It can be checked in a few seconds with a pressure gauge (assuming they have done that already given how easy it is).

Here's the funny thing.....because the stock fuel reg is in the return path to the tank, it can NEVER BE A LIMITATION on the max fuel flow through the injectors. Because at max demand, the regulator is in fact closed, no fuel is flowing back to the tank, it's all going through the injectors.

Did anyone hook up a fuel pressure guage while tuning this car?

so fuel pump wiring ?? was your pump direct wired to battery ?

"The fuel pump has been wired up right using 10g wire and a 30A relay as per instructions and has been install and place on the bracket so it reachs bottom of the tank."

I can see where you're heading with that.. He doesn't actually say where it's wired up to. As far as we know, the instructions part of - "The fuel pump has been wired up right using 10g wire and a 30A relay as per instructions" - could be completely wrong.

OP, did your tuner end up giving you feedback on your IDC/flow test results?

It was all set up right. The wiring required power from battery to relay then a signal wire to the relay but the negative wire from the pump need to go to the body instead of the returning to the wiring loom. But one of the plug that go into the relay wasn't soldered right so we re-soldered it and all is good now. If you would like to see the wiring instructions just Google the pump (stated in my first post).

    • 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?
