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.

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.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
