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.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
