Hello All,

I'm building an RB26/30 with 1000cc injectors. Till what whp will I be ok with a single in tank 340LPH Aeromotive Fuel Pump?

My tuner recommends I get two Bosch 044's instead however, these don't come with an in tank option, which would mean I'd have to look into a surge tank, which I don't currently want to do.

Can I run an Aeromotive in tank 340 LPH in series with an external bosch 044 and get best of both worlds?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you got a chart showing how much your pump's flow drops off with increase in pressure? Quite a few people have experience with the limits of a single intank Nismo but it will be different for your pump. Have you got it directly wired with a heavier cable from the battery via relay? What is your power target? You can put 044s intank if you want. You could put a surge tank under the car if you don't want one in the boot but if you're not going to track it don't bother.

You can put 2 x 044's in the tank if you want too but space is normally the issue, we are weighing up this option with mine at the moment and leaning towards twin Aeromotives because they are smaller and quiet, newer etc.....

My single 044 ran out of flow at around 360rwkw (480rwhp) on E85 and didnt leave much buffer room incase a filter gets semi blocked etc (which i have recently experienced).

I am not much of a guru with this sort of thing, just going through it at the moment with my car and learning as i go :)

Or run the newer model walbro 415 lph e85 compatible intake fuel pump

Good for easy 400+kw at wheels

This.

You will run out of injector before you run out of pump if you go this route.

I'm not sure yet because this will replace the factory fuel pump on my G37. Will have to check how it's wired but I do remember seeing a relay box under my hood with fuel pump written on it.

Also, is this on 98 or E85?

98 RON

Oh wow, and that's a very high flowing pump. Looks like I'm going to rock two of them then. Do you keep me posted with your learning please. The thing is, it's never been done on a G37 before, so I'm not sure how everything will play out. Let's see.

My tuner recommended me against Walbro, is the 415lph any good?

This.

You will run out of injector before you run out of pump if you go this route.

Guess I'll have to look into it then. Thanks for all your help fellas

I haven't seen the G37 fuel pump assembly, but if it's the same as the 350z/V35 ones only the Walbro 342 style pumps will fit in the factory housing. I would go for the Deatschwerks 300L in that case.

There are a few twin pump housings around for them, but perhaps you could modify the stock housing to fit the new Walbro 400L E85 pump? If your tuner doesn't like them, he is a year behind the times...

Nismo/ tomei will flow around 400rwkw on pump depending on who's tuning the car

The walbro's 400s seem to be the sh!t now, I've been running 2 of them in a surge tank with e85 for about 3000km and no issues so far. They are quiet as hell too

As for putting one in the tank, I don't think they are an easy fit like the 044s.. If my memory is correct Piggaz tried putting one in but opted for a 044 as it was less hassle

I went with 2 bosch 044's in an almost identical setup to Paul aka Piggaz set up. the fuel system should have landed me somewhere in the 1500 mark once completed, for rail, pumps, tank, lines, injectors and new reg. Not too expensive for peace of mind mate.

i like to shop around Joey ;) I have only the fuel rail and reg to purchase. 600 for bosch 2000cc, 300 for pumps, 330 for the tank and fittings. I may just pip the 1500 mark, but not by much mang

You're definitely getting some great deals man.

May I ask where you guys normally install your surge tanks? Another reason I stayed away from it was that many told me you get a lot of fuel smell in cabin?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
