This is my setup. There is a boost a pump unit that does 17.5v when active and a continental pump control module. these sit where the stock fuel pump resistor module lived under the ABS/atessa ecus. Tested at 20v/20a for a few hours 100% duty no problems. The relays are for power and the normal/high voltage signal for boost a pump. pump is a Pierburg L3LM screw pump.

Was a bitch to get into the r34 saddle tank but I have magnets to hold the hydramats in place. the hydramats cover basically all of the driver side saddle floor.

The sard jet pump return line (not shown here) is pointed right onto both the hydramats to keep them wet.

Notice the split hydramats feeding the pump. If the mats were damp (hence the jet pump return flowing directly onto both mats) there is enough surface tension to only suck from submerged sections of hydramat. You can have one corner of only one of the mats submerged in fuel and it sucks up no air.

The t-piece join is only 5cm vertical from the mats so very little suction head difference.

Pump works, I haven't got it to a track yet to see. Am logging fuel pressure with a engine protection function on injector delta so I'm not worried about my engine.

I haven't changed any of the venting. The charcoal canister line is still in place which is for fumes leaving the tank. The fuel cap is the vacuum relief and I've tested it is working correctly, are you saying it is inadequate? It allows air in to the tank once it gets to between to -3.3 to -6 kPA of vacuum according to the manual.

The 2200 is a natural gas injector and hopeless on liquid fuel.

The 1650 is a Bosch Motorsport injector designed for liquid fuel and is all stainless steel inside. (Really only flows ~1500 at 3 bar)

As mentioned earlier in the thread, it is a good idea to upgrade the venting when upgrading pumps. 

On a standard fuel tank, is it possible to get a vented fuel cap? Where is everyone mounting their upgraded vents? Being one of the highest points, can it be installed inear the top of the fuel filler neck? Or am i looking at this wrong?

Re injectors. I am aware the 2200 is a cng injector. I know people who run both, particularly on e85. Neither seem to really have a problem... unless they arent telling me lol

I got an alloy hat spun up, drilled and tapped threads for the fittings. I ran a -12 breather with a "roll over valve" so air can only come in the tank. (No fuel smell).

expensive? Yup....

Heres 2 reasons not to run the 2000's these came outta my evo after around 10k km's. Car was bucking and surging and carrying on E85 of course.

Bosch 1550cc, often advertised as 1650cc (when run at 4 bar base) if you're on a budget. If not ID1700X and call it a day.

2000/2200cc CNG injectors are gay full stop, tried to road tune a set and they were awful.

I've been down this same road and it's a nightmare, I remember.getting blasted for do an over kill fuel system. sadly my last resort was an upgraded alternator. it didn't help much. but I guess it's a learning curve and expensive one at that.
Now my car just sits, move out and in my shop everyday even tho I like it so much, I'm sick to the stomach to drive it. I'm planning on re-doing the whole car. I'll go with a fuel lab variable pump next time. I'll spend a lot of time planning. of course I'll have to go with a Haltech ecu to manage it all. thanks for your thread. it was interesting to read.

Ok so am about done with the fuel system bar a couple of small items. 

I am using xspurt 1550s.

Well that tells us your injector choice.  The "small items" ie all the bits before the injectors are what I'd like to see details and pics for if possible.

Tank top hat, wiring, pump(s), pump control, jet siphon pump, reg, and lines.  That's all the good stuff IMO.

Lol will get some pics up shortly

Starting from the tank;

1 walbro 460 with e85 submersible hose in tje stock fuel hat. From there an6 feed to the surge and an6 overflow back into the tank. An6 was the largest fitting i could get which would work on the stock fuel hat push on fittings.

I ended up using a raceworks surge tank with 2 walbro 460s. The above will be covered up bit is just open for photo purposes. The tank comes disassembled but it pretty straight forward to put together.

From there all fittings are teflon lined braided hose, full flow an fittings from aeroflow. Theres about 2 dozen or more fittings. The tank is mounted to the body using rivnuts.

 

2018-01-13_03-08-06

Under the car is the fuel filter and bracket also mounted using rivnuts.

Moving along, where the old fuel filter used to sit now houses the the flex sensor bypass.

2018-01-13_11-29-17

Up front i am using a turbosmart fpr2000 as it has an8 fittings, aeroflow rail and xspurt 1550s which i sourced from scottys customs. The injectors fouled the balance tube a bit due to their height but i rotated them left or right so they clear and the plugs could reach.

2018-01-13_04-28-18

I have a couple smaller lines to make and am yet to wire it up but thats not difficult to do. Any fitting with an orb was replaced with a buna n o ring.

An ard alternator is currently somewhere between here and japan so that should make the system work happily. Thank all for your input and advice.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
