Hello guys. My last fuel system I did was a total over kill to the point where I had a voltage issue. To much pumps in short.

I would guess one of the best solutions would be like a fuel lab variable pump that has a multiple output range. I'm using a power fc and don't know if this ecu, would be possible to control one of these pumps. I'm also not sure if there is some sort of stand alone controller that could be used in conjunction with the power fc . If that's the case I'm all game for that.

 

For now I was looking at a ridium surge tank with 2x walbro e85 pumps. That would feed two entry to a ridium fuel rail with a return to the main stock fuel tank. Overflowing surge tank would always stay overflowing back to the oem tank. I want to keep the OEM tank as of now I have a walbro e85 pump in the right now.

So that would be a total of 3 walbro e85 pumps. I am planning on using an upgraded alternator but would prefer not to use it. Keeping the system low in voltage requirements and only upgrading the alternator as a bonus. Also I don't think the one e85 free flowing would be able to maintain the surge tank to the point of overflowing back to the main oem tank on full load. One solution would be to return to the surge tank and over flow to the main tank. (oem) the idea I had was to keep the fuel cool by returning it to the main tank.

Staging the 2 supply pumps would also be an option.

Damn the more I write this the better a variable fuel lab pump sounds. There has to be a controller that could use a tps signal to vary the pmw signal to the pump.

To mention a little about the build it's a rb26 running all supporting mods for 900hp. I would like the fuel system to at least get close to that level. But I would be ok at 700. As I don't think I will push it that hard.

 

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Seems like the controller for these pumps are inside. I would just need a pmw signal. The question remains is there some device that would convert a tps signal to a pmw signal. ?

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
