Hi all , I found this link when looking into DW300 turbine pumps and fuel pump rewires .

http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-engine-turbo-drivetrain/590352-fuel-pump-wire-high-low-voltage-circuit.html

The aim I believe was to avoid "over running the std FPR" when using high volume fuel pumps .

I found it before starting work this morning and have only gotten a couple of pages in . The thread may be of interest to those with an advanced understanding of volts n amps a so forth .

Enjoy , A .

Meh.

The Solid state relay will lose you 1V so you are dropping the total voltage supplied to the pump by that amount. I want to get more voltage to my pump, not less... 16-18V would be good. :)

Are you over running the stock FPR yet?

Not that I know of but I'm running std GTS25T wiring and an R33 GTR pump , have set the pump voltage change at about 1300 revs .
Would have looked into the reg business but had a train to work . Do the Nismo ones flow more or are they just adjustable ?

This is a link off the above Evom thread that goes into overrunning the standard FPR .

http://highboostforum.com/forum/showthread.php/28719-TESTED-Stock-Evo-8-9-FPR-Capabilities?

Fuel systems get deeper and deeper . Not sure if there is an easy answer to regs if you don't like glitzy looking aftermarket ones .

I was wondering a while back what would happen if you ran a second OE style FPR in the line before the rail and spliced it into the standard return . In theory both would close up as manifold pressure rose but have double the flow arera of the std single one . Also in theory not all the supply runs through the warm rail .

That aside looked at Britax large spade 80a relays today and need to find a supply of non insulated 9.5mm terminals and insulators for them .

A .

I wouldn't use two regs. If I wanted to achieve the regulator goals you talk about without running the risk of dead-heading the fuel rail with hot/vapourised fuel, I'd simply replace the standard reg at the outlet end of the rail with a small orifice that will pass fuel 100% of the time and place the big aftermarket reg wherever it needs to go before the rail (so that could be in the engine bay or it could be immediately after the pump.

In this way you will always circulate fuel through the rail and back to the tank, but the vast majority of it will never go there.

The problem with two separate regulators doing the same job in parallel is that they will never have the same setpoint. They will always be slightly different. So when the pressure rises to the setpoint of the lower set reg it will open and allow fuel to spill and the other reg will stay shut. If the flow area of the lower reg is insufficient then the pressure will rise above its setpoint and the higher set reg will start to open. This means there will always be some fluff in the fuel pressure setpoint. It will go up and down. If the regs are really close to each other then this won't be a problem. But there is a chance that the difference will be big enough to cause some issues. A permanent very small bleed solves the problem without bringing any real problems of its own.

I searched the SX ones and they claim to have better diaphragm material to suit alternative fuels like ethanol . I didn't see any pics of them in Skyline engine bays , do you have any of yours Scotty ?

Really the way forward looks like doing the top feed conversion to EV14s then the reg and pump and sort the pumps wiring .

Scott would you go with Xspurt shorty 740s / XS reg / DW300 pump in a GTS25T ? I doubt I would see more than 340 or so wasps at the wheels just to give you a number .

I stumbled on these insulated bulkhead power terminal bolts to get higher current reliably into your fuel tank .

I searched long and hard for this kind of thing a few nights back without success .

They look good, but couldn't the fuel leak through the actual thread? Unless the nylic nut seals it off? I am going to machine up something similar, but solid so there are no chance of leaks. Well take some pics when done, hopefully tomorrow.

I think the white nylon spacers with the O rings top and bottom may be threaded though anyone's guess how neat a fit they are on that bolt . I suppose a very light smear of a suitable sealant may stop tank pressure feeding up through the threads .

For an R33 you don't need it to be insulated because the tank lid and ring aren't metallic . A modified brass or stainless bolt could probably be made to work with a dowty seal . Jamb nut to clamp it up and some means of fitting an eye fitting to the head .

I've been looking into Britax relays - R4-1280R is an 80a on/off with 9.5mm terminals and 6.3mm coil spades . They have a resistor in them to protect computer circuitry whatever that means .

They doing a mount base with brass non insulated terminals as well Pn 99025 .

Means the low load circuit would have a built in resistor to protect the ECU from any surges.

I don't see the advantage of this relay to your standard 60a horn relay though? 60a is thoroughly overkill, and I use a 30a inline fuse. So 80a is unnecessary. The posts sound like they are a similar size too.

Just a little overkill and hopefully reliability . I think I know a way to parallel the std high low system using the original relay and FPCM to trigger a heavier duty system . From what I can tell the only thing stopping us from rewiring the std system is the current carrying ability of that FPCM which is a glorified protective (for ECU) switch .<br /><br />From what I gather R33 GTRs have the twin FPCM/resistors in a single assembly and they are famous for overheating and failing . The GTS25T has the single FPCM in the same place but the resistor (heat) is near the std jack .<br /><br />A .

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
