Hey fellas atm im slowly upgrading my fuel system and slowly because theres too much crap to know before its done so learning in the process

Vehicle is r33 gtr series 3

Engine currently running 404rwkw

built by me

(Just coz i can build a motor does not mean i know everything...)

Now i purchased a holley dominator 1800 and a a.i dominator surgetank kit.

Some may know these pumps are a non bypass pump so a min -8 return is necessary.

The issues i have resolved are .

Using my factory feed and return now as 2 feeds for twin entry rail.

Return line will be new -8 the whole way and changing the tomei rail return to -8

A turbosmart reg will have -8 ret on it so all good and is 85 compatible

Issues not resolved yet..

Factory sender output and ret are plastic clip in fittings and are -6 3/8 hose size

How am i to get around this for my min -8 return to tank.. will a -8 overflow from surge to this 3/8 plastic on factory tank be enough to return?

Any advice from people who have done it please i dont want (should and probably) i need this right

Cheers. If i have missed any info needed plz just ask.

Sounds like you need a custom tank lid with bulkhead fittings.

Surge setups can be hard to get right, do you have some pics of yours? The 8an return from the rail normally goes back to the surge tank, if you have a smaller pump intank you usually only need a small return to the main tank.

This is the sender lid

Return tube is 8mm outside diameter so defenetly too small all i need is that to be around 12mm ish and will flow enough but how...

Really duno how no one has done this before thought there would be a common solution. :(

Yep, sounds fine. No issues with my 6an return running twin 255's, I can drop the pressure well below 30psi base so it's not even close to maxing the return flow. 8an is overkill.

The only issue will be if one pump fails, in your case the one that gets switched in.

you can also carefully remove the return (grind shave etc) and fit AN bulkhead fittings. I done that a few times in R34 GTRS

Exactly what im doing with my R32 factory pump assembly, its the easy way to get bigger lines happening.

Terminals can be added too to get rid of the flimsy thin factory wires and plug if going bigger pump, seen a few of those melt through the years.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
