You want to re-thread the tank? It is just the screws that strip I think, just get some off a v35 wreck or something? I have a few here if you get stuck.

I have to look at redesigning my fuel system, specifically inside the tank. I need an in-tank surge assembly using another pump to feed the twins in some kind of container, hopefully that will allow me to run the tank to a lower level without running lean around corners.

Dose anyone else s pump have 3 positive wires and 3 negatives all joined up like this? also sounds like the pump ramps up and down according to throttle position?

You shouldn't need another pump if you can make something to contain your pumps that has one way gates on it (to let fuel in but not out - similar to the one way system on some sumps)

i was going to use it to turn the pump on and off with the old power cables

Looks good Dale, the stock pump does indeed drop voltage at idle and cruise to limit the flow, so the fuel doesn't overheat. Unfortunately the new pumps require more voltage, hence the need for the rewire. Are you mounting the relay under the seat there? What happens if a big bloke sits there, does the seat touch the relay?

Did you use the DW300?

Is that the stock pump you are running?

If so, be careful putting it on full 12V power. I know others have & not had a problem, but that was how I popped my motor. The pump would intermittently make a noise (sort of a buzz) & I suspect when that was happening it wasn't pumping right. I found out by going wot & the rest is smoky, rattly history.

yep i used the DW300, went in easily enough. so you reckon i can just pop the relay on and energize it off the old feed then the pump will run full ball all the time when the car is on, this is ok for the car/pump? atm its just running off the stock cables. yep it touches the seat a little it lines up with one of the box sections under the seat tho. if i sit on it i cant feel anything and im a 100 odd kgs or so haha

nup its the DW300 been in a few days running off the stock power cables seems all good so far

^ OK, all good. Do you notice it running richer at all?

yep its running quite rich atm but its always been like that i haven't noticed it change much so far with the new pump. needs a tune and a ecu for that matter lol! still searching for a fcon harness

^ OK, all good. Do you notice it running richer at all?

Why would it run richer? Surely the stock fuel pressure reg can keep up...

Definitely something you want to do before a tune, I have seen so many people fail on the dyno due to fuel supply issues and not having the pump hardwired, such a waste of time and money.

Good luck with the harness! What if I was to say there is a better alternative out there.

Better option? I wouldn't go that far yet... I am still learning the myriad of options the Fcon has to suit our cars, if only there was HKS factory support, like they have in NZ...

Yea scotty!!!

maybe talk to Stupidious!.....sorry Sidious!

I'll use my local support. :P

Dunno, but I noticed mine was a little richer when I put the stock pump on full 12V (at least when it wasn't buzzing).

What is this factory support you speak of haha

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
