Yeah, i think theyre 3/8 in diameter or something like that. They couldnt be in a better place really. Silly to run braid or any other solid line under the car if these are unused.

Shaun.

Whats wrong with just using the standard fuel lines under the car? Thats what i did, my setup is the blue skyline in the first post of this thread.

Can you remember the exact fittings you used to hook the braided lines up to the stock hard lines?

That was my first thought, however I find that most of the time it looks really messy or disorganised. I'm thinking of running them underneath the fuel rail through cable holders (similar to what's used for computer cables or home entertainment cables) so that I don't have zip ties and plastic conduit going everywhere.

Some very serious filtration going on there.

Are you running one tank for methanol/race fuel and the other tank for normal duties? As it looks like you have a distribution block that links to the fuel lines that run underneath the car?

u guessed it!

the sard surge tank is connected to the standard fuel tank which will be used for ur normal every day 98 octane

the fuel cell will be used for race fuel

the car is setup so it can swap between different fuel's via a switch inside the cabin

we are able to do this because the haltech E11v2 allows us to hold more then one tune map

so with a flick of a switch we can go from street mode to race mode

the wiring involved thats going into a setup like this is just mind blowing

the fuel cell is a custom item which we blue printed from the sard surge tank

we bought the sard surge tank from hi octane and copied its design and built our fuel cell from it

so not only is it a fuel cell its also a surge tank all in 1

the filler cap and lid are all CNC machined from billet

we will also be making our own sard surge tank copy's which we will have on the market for less then geniune sard items and they will perform just as good

For the fuel pump wiring, i used 2 30amp fused relays, 1 for each pump. Power is connected straight to the battery, and the trigger for the relays is spliced into the factory harness, its the wire that goes down into the fuel tank, its a switched 12v that powers on when u flick the key, easy to find with a multi.

    • The more I think about it, the more I should probably go with a genuine Bride seat and rail set up. But damn the $$$ for a driver and passenger seat + rails!
    • From what I understand, stock internals should hold out for a while even if you run 500 at the crank, no? Especially if you don't run a modern turbo setup that reaches power and torque much earlier than the original twins. My engine isn't unopened either, it has N1 Pumps, head oil restrictor, new crank and cams, new piston rings, ARP head studs and Cometic headgasket along with 2860-5s. Considering everything is healthy this should run fine for a while I assume. Once my engine stops leaking shit everywhere, it'll be tuned to 370 crank first anyway, because I need to legalize the turbo setup. If I end up needing a new engine because my block actually has an issue, even though GTSboy was adamant that the whole porous block story is nonsense, before putting an engine in I'm probably gonna take care of the weakspots.
    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"  
    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas.
