do it right the first time:

alloy fuel tank

carter lift pump

aeromotive a1000 pump

aeromotive a13110 fuel reg

aeromotive filters

2ltr surge tank

jap branded fuel rail

800/1000cc injectors

-8 fuel line from tank splitting into 2x-6 at rail

-8 line from rail to reg

-8 from reg to tank

finally...

Does all thats stuff look nice?

Probably the most important thing about getting things you dont need, gotta look the part even if they dont do much more than the stock stuff :D

Kinda like a aftermarket BOV really, not needed... but makes noises and looks cool.

stupidest comment ever :rolleyes:

Well how about you put the costings up for all the parts that you simply dont need.

Then we'll cost up something that could

1. Have far more use/benefit for the car

2. Return far more power/response

And so the list goes.

The factory gear has been proven time and time again to be faultless and totally reliable in big horsepower applications.

So i fail to logically see the need to waste money on paraphernalia type items that don't offer ANY usable gain over factory gear.

If anything, changing factory parts that are tried and proven, brings in the element of reliability using non factory parts!

I mean fair enough, if you have ALL the money in the world, you'd get stuff like that.

However, this is the real world, people real have budgets to build cars on. When your spending 15k on a rebuild, turbos, diffs, clutches etc.

Modifications that offer no tangible gain, do not fit into a budget.

that fuel system isnt for ur average run of the mill 400kw car, obviously, u musta missed my sarcasm that i wasnt aiming that guide to this thread specifically

Some may like to re-use the ~15yr old lines and that, but then some may like to replace it all with new parts, and not play with fire in a big hp application, to me its a no brainer

leave the original lines, the feed and return WILL be fine.

Id be fitting a surge tank, a 1 liter will be fine, its not like your planning any long high speed g forces.

Decent set of 700cc or there abouts injectors

Nismo fuel pressure reg to be safe

External bosch pump and use the stocker as a lift

Or just fit an intake bosch, with injectors and reg.

There is no need to upgrade lines etc etc for what you want to do.

If you cant afford the HKS version of the T04z then you cant afford to set up a fuel system with the best and biggest parts.

i can afford a hks to4z u dont know my finance situation so those comments r complete and utter bullshit i just cant justify 1850 dollars extra for a turbo that will prolly bring on boost 100rpm earlier and make around the same power as a garret.....

money for parts isnt the issue i will do it right no matter wat it costs

seems this thread has gone to the shit. I dont know too much on fuel systems but dude if i was you i would look around on carsales and stuff and find other high hp cars and see what they are using. Or even better ring up a few companys that sell fuel pump etc..

hey guys,

keep it up! lol

just invading this thread since everyone doesnt seem to have something to do.

does the fuel pump really makes a difference?

i am looking to achieve 350 to 400hp atw.

would a 600hp fuel pump be over kill. prices are not a huge difference. so should i just get a 600hp fuel pump?

thanks!

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
