I have 1 intank walbro and 2 external walbro with surge tank and I want to use stock fuel feed and return both for feed... each pump one fuel rail side... and from cencer the return with fpr and 16mm fuel returm line... but fuel pressures are 8mm!! How I will use 16mm fuel line?

Also how I will make the fuel return pipe cheap and safe? Braided or Silicone are very expensive choices..? Black rubber or something other?

i use aeromotive fuel regs - great bit of kit :rofl:

also dont skimp, use proper fuel lines. braided all the way back or braided to an aly line under the car, then back to braid into the boot - i use earls fittings/lines

also, a -8 return line will be plenty big enough

8mm internal???

-8AN pipes have 3/8inch internal... so only 9.2mm!!

So are you sure that -8AN pipes are enough? They are like stock...!!

Anyway if I will put only -8AN pipe I think that I can mount it at stock fpr right?

u said ur using the std feed and return lines both as the feeds. 1 line for each fuel pump and they join the fuel rail at each end. how do you propose to use the std fuel reg?

IMO if ur going to this much trouble, ur best off getting a dual entry fuel rail, an aftermarket fuel reg and dong the damn thing properly.

-8 line is 7/16 (11.12mm) ID

8AN is 5/8 external and 3/8 internal! 3/8 internal is only 9.1mm and the stock is 8mm!

Some other people here told me to do this.. two external pumps using stock feed and return both for feed and then a braided return 5/8! Stock pipes are 8mm! So 8+8=16mm feed and only 9.1mm return?!?

I will modify my stock fuel rail to make it dual entry and I think to put the stock fpr at the center of the rail as in the other thread we said with other people here!

I ask them if I can use stock fpr with two external pumps and the said YES!

The thread is here... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/S1...ct-t202358.html

But now I don't know what I need :|

I just measured 8.17mm OD of the stock steel fuel line. ~1mm wall thickness, the ID would be around 6'ish i would think.

The stock FPR prolly "would" functionally work fine, but once you've moded the rail, and bolted a hose tail to the reg, ppl are suggesting you might as well buy aftermarket items.

Considering in other of your threads, ppl mentioned that the stock lines would support 600rwhp, -8 return would be fine. In the total cost of things, playing around with returns is fairly trivial, and can modified later on, if proven to be insufficient. Swot i would do.

It will be a true win for social networking forums when this car is running, and youtube is full of videos of it :D

farken jeebus. look at the earls/speedflow specs, not some random specs on f**king google.

braided hose specs - http://www.mscn.com.au/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=17

aly tube specs - http://www.mscn.com.au/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=95

modding the std fuel rail will only be the better option if u can get it modded for under $300, and a fuel reg only costs ~$160 ( http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...mp;autoview=sku )

  • 3 weeks later...

why a dash 8 return line, i believe the centre outlet of a after market fuel rail is no where near that size nor the FPR ports your throwing your money away.

still i made new supply and returns out of aluminium tube ( 10mm od ) and welded dash 6 male fittings to each end and used braided hose to connect to them.

cost was 28$ for the 4 male fittings and 9$ for the 2 lengths of alloy tube 10$ to weld the fittings on to tube.

If I was you I would replicate the standard feed and return lines in ally tube (this is the only cheap part), solder -8 fittings either end, split the feed to twin -6 for a twin feed rail and return from the middle of the rail to a good reg ie aeromotive and back through the -8 line.

http://www.aeromotiveinc.com/products.php?...b=1∏=11

I cant see reusing the stock lines as twin feeds as being economical, the lines willneed to be removed from the car anyway to silver solder the fittings either end (not to mention four off instead of two), would be much easier to just copy in larger id ally and halve the no. of fittings.

btw do it in teflon braid... and yes the jap rails come with -6 fittings, just replace the centre return with -8

Edited by DCIEVE
The Aeromotive fuel reg that you show me has 6AN inlet and 6AN return...

So how I will put 8AN pipes?

Also I cannot find any fuel reg with 8AN inlet and return in fair prices... all are very very expensive...

simple, get -8 adapters to screw into the reg :thumbsup:

I dont know why i wrote aeromotive I meant to write Magnafuel. Probably looked at to many fuel systems in the last couple of days as I'm looking to upgrade as I'm switching to methanol.

You can buy these from places like Jegs or Summit Racing for around $220us

Ok but this aeromotive fpr have... bullet.gifTwo -10 AN inlet ports, one -6 AN return port and 1/8" NPT gauge port

-8 fuel line and fittings to the rail is good for 500-800hp and -10 is good for 800-1100hp and the return from the reg can be one size smaller than the supply. Aeromotive make a reg with 4x -8 inlets and a -8 outlet.

Can you tell me which? I see 8AN or 10AN outlets only at pro series for 2000horses!

The most cheap aeromotive regs have 6AN or 6ANx2 for return...

simple, get -8 adapters to screw into the reg

This is the point I need help guys!!!

Ok you said me to use 8AN hoses... but if the fpr have small holes like sard that has 6AN( http://www.rhdjapan.com/images/product/102...rmal/Image3.jpg ) or malpassi or aeromotives with 6AN, will can flow the return fuel? Or if I will have fpr with small holes (6AN) it will not have any difference if I have 8AN or 6AN return hose?

Please someone to explain me this because it is the only problem that I have...

So if I can use 6AN fpr I will put fittings like this ( http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm/SARD-Fuel-Pres...-8-NPT1-8-17630 ) and I will use 8AN return hose?

be far easier to just get a1000 instead of the a1000 -6

in any case you need to buy the fittings you screw into the reg so you can do whatever you want

A1000 use Two -10 AN inlet ports, one -6 AN return port and 1/8" NPT gauge port

Are you sure if I will put just fitting it will flow the fuel? I ask more in the previous quote...

Yes I know them and it have 10AN Inlet and 8AN return but it is for 2000hp it is a bit expensive....

There isn't any other cheaper choice?

I try to see other guys cars too see what they did...

StageZilla rb26 t04z

His fuel system..

sard 1000cc injectors

sard dual entry fuel rail

sard adjustable fuel pressure regulator

bosch 044 fuel pumps x 2

goss intank pumps x 2

Alloy surge tank

twin fuel lines from pumps to engine

And a foto here from Stagezilla's car... I am thinking that he use 6AN hoses from rail to fpr to surge.

109_0920.jpg

Performance costs money... we've told you this a number of times

I know mate... check my sign.. I paid a lot and this is the last part I need! But I want to be sure that I will pay what I need for my setup and don't pay parts for 2000hp!

Ofcourse I will pay either aeromotive pro series or the magnafuel if you will say me that I cannot work with smaller fprs!

But the Stagezilla use only sard fpr and he has 044 pumps that they have more flow than my walbros!

Thanks for your help guys :whistling:

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
