Oh yes the smell is terrible. Some telfon lines are definitely needed! Unless there is some sort of insulation sleeve or tape you can wrap around the lines...

i also wondered whether there was a teflon sleeve available - i asked earls & they said it doesnt exist

naturally they would say that though as it would directly impact their product sales

The pumps are not just good for E85, they flow a shit tonne also. Highest flowing pump in it's application. They are factory fitted in AMG Mercedes Benz and the same company that designs and manufactures them makes the pump for the Veyron.

The only currently available line that can be used 100% with E85 is the Teflon braid 200 series stuff. However the cost to get all the fittings crimped is astronomical so we went with what the sprint car guys are running and it's the blue Goodyear pusklock hose. It's not impervious but we will be changing it out each year. At $15 a meter it doesn't brake the budget.

(Which is extra good for someone like Noel)

EFI Performance sell the pumps as do we. They retail out for $450 each but I'm sure you can admire the price vs quality/flow (~350L/hr).

I'll post up some more pics as soon as we're finished and let you guys know about the smell. Noel is unable to as both his sense of smell and ability to use intermanets has deteriorated since he turned 72

thats a good flow rate, bosch 044 flows 300lph

really?

im running 2 044's (actually 3 if i count my intank pump lol) & it easily supports my purpose

044s are great but those pumps u have look pretty cool

Yeah the rating that Bosch give them is (off the top of my head) 209Lph at 5bar.

I have heard of them as high as 220Lph but never higher than that. Having said that, though, Noel's car made 530hp at the wheels on one bosch 044 at some stage. It consistently pulled 500rwhp in race events for a long time with one.

He had SARD 800cc injectors but the pump was running out of flow as we couldn't make it any richer, the pressure would start dropping at full noise when we did.

So I would say one Bosch pump is good for 600hp (500whp) give or take a few.

044 200l/hr (5 Bar) M18 x1.5 M12 x 1.5 196 60 15.5 M5/M6

That is at 12V though... not 14.7 which your pump should be running at...

just what i was gonna say, bosch do them @ 12v not 14

also you other blokes like marko, you sure you are not getting confused with 040 & 044?

sometimes people do that :P

Sweet.

I'm looking to change lines to some Aero grade stuff, the smell just takes over and I've got about 1/3 the line :P

Not cheap, but smell = gotta go

Whoever's fuel system that is in the picture- You have to be very carefull putting hose clamps on pushlock hose/fittings.... it will cut the inside if the hose and lift the hose off the barbs either side of the clamp.... it's more likely to leak putting the hose clamp on!

It's not cheap, but aeroquip starlight hose and fittings have been designed for all sorts of ethanol/race fuels... awsome stuff!

Ash, you can get PTFE line cheap from the states atm

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
