In my new car ill be running 2 044's. If one flows 360l/ph, thats 12 litres per minute (6 litres per 044) that will be going around to the engine bay and back getting heated up. Is it possible to have this sort of setup? Have the 2 044s in the boot, run the 2 outlets from the 044 into one, have a tee that comes off this line that goes to the engine bay, the other side of the tee goes to the fuel reg in the boot.

Therefore the only fuel going to the engine bay will be used?

out on a limb here but it sounds like the fuel will get heated up too much

it will drive like poo if the fuel is heated up, like if you have a mega big pump and idle in traffic for a bit, the pump keeps pushing the fuel back and forth to the engine as you have a mega rated pump, but the fuel keeps getting warmer and warmer, and when you eventually use it its boggy and sluggish

that doesnt have to be so, the honda K20 utilizes the setup where there is no fuel return, they use a fuel reg to ramp up the pressure. dont know the exact diagram of that setup, but i am a 100% that the fuel line enters the rail and there is no return.

yes, but the k series engines work on a constant fuel pressure

skylines use intake manifold pressure to increase fuel pressure as boost increases

Gen3's are the same along with the new cobra's only 1 supply line to the front of the car. There is definate value to it, all you have to do is run a vacumm line to the back of the car. Might just take a little bit more tuning to get the acceleration enrichment right. Give it a go.

Some people get it, some people dont. The fuel reg will be after the rail if the tee for the rail is before the fuel reg in the boot. By keeping the fuel reg in the boot the fuel wont have to travel up to the engine bay and back. It will only be cycled around in a small circle.

So fuel goes from, say, surge tank out a hose with a t-piece, one direction goes to the reg and then back to the fuel tank, the other goes to the engine?

wont that be very inefficient?

The fuel in the fuel rail will only be flowing as fast as the engine is using it, so by the time the fuel travels to the last cylinder in the rail, it could have been in the rail for up to 1 minute if your going down a hill with minimal throttle, easily long enough for the engine heat to vaporise the fuel causing vapour lock and extremely lean running, and vastly different a/f ratios on different cylinders. Manufacturers do it the way they do for a reason, the fuel cools the rail. If your concerned about the fuel heating up, put a fuel cooler(oil cooler) on the return rail, but have an accident at your peril.

Sounds like its not a good idea. I might try to work out how to run one pump only and then get the other one to switch on when needed. That way it would save all the fuel circulating around and getting heated up.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
