red arrow is your fuel filter

blue arrow is your fuel damper- it stop pulsations within the fuel system

it`s unlikely they might cause starting problems, you might wanna look into some thing like coolant temp senors,leaking injectors,etc

An hour or so after driving my car and then trying to restart it, the car just cranks and won't fire, yet will fire next go without fail. It seems as if its not getting fuel for some reason... and then when you try and start it again it had sucked up fuel into the lines from the previous starting attemp. Coolant sensor may be a good idea, but it seems to start fine in the morings and when cold so leaking injectors could probably be ruled out. Only has problems to start after its been driven. - like once the fuel has had time to drain away and lose pressure... so not straight way after driven for example, but like an hour later - i have a bosch 040 and seems to have arisen after that went in. But in terms of the heat, sensors sound logical. It is very frustrating... :banana:

when you installed the 040 did you leave the bosch check valve in place, i`v always removed it and just used a 5/16 hose tail screw on fitting?

but then again if fuel pressure was droping, it would be a bitch to start in the mornings

just a quick test prime the fuel pump 2-3 time before you start it again........see waht happens

I'm not sure whether or not the bosch check valve was used, as i didn't install it, it was put in at a workshop, this workshop is also convinently not around anymore so i cant exactly ring and ask.. :S I have had it checked though and the pump was said to be fine and the install fine too apparently.

I just started the car about an hour after i last drove it (when the problem occurs) and primed it 3 times , ign on, off, on, off, on and the car started no problem....

ok cool

one of two things, you got a problem with the check vavle on the pump.........OR .................

you happen to be another victim of Cheap bosch fuel pumps (i say it`s the pump)

Thats what i have always said from the start... the pump, yet I had it taken out and checked by my current tuner / mech and he said it flowed fine and looked all good, and he wasn't the one who put it in, so had no reason to lie or anything. Unless it just doesn't operate properly when the fuel heats up or the lines heat up or something? Cos it starts in the morning fine, (with the 2-3second prime) that whats really confusing me... The check valve, is that like a one way anti-drain valve? I told my mech I wanted to put a Walbro in as a replacement, and he said it wasn't neccasary, the worst thing about it is when its at the shop its hard for the tuner to replicate cos it only happens after the car has been driven and warmend up to operating temp, then left sitting for an hour. Gees maybe its what ive been suspecting all along and the pump just sucks.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
