Quiet Fuel Pumps - Surge Tank

[Liquid]

Hi,

Currently my gtr's making about 350awkw ... Now i've noticed what i *think* is fuel starvation infrequently in a straight line, but last track day it was happening alot. So I ended up driving around pretty dam slow and cut my track day short... I've been thinking about upgrading the fuel pump... but then I figured I'd just go the whole mile and get a surge tank at the same time.

The major drawback of a surge tank for me (on a street car) would have to be the constant noise of the pump.

I've had a look around and have found 2 pumps that seem pretty good...

18203 Is what i was looking at

#1792 has a free flow rate of 160 GPH, enough to feed a 1000 hp engine.

Now despite the branding both of these pumps are manufactured by Essex Industries who do alot of work for the US Defence n arospace etc. I'm guessing there not too far apart.

The other band i've heard good things about has been mallory

Anyone used these or care to throw in an opinion?

what about one of those sard type tanks which have the pumps inside the surge tank?

A1000's are make more of a racket than a pair of 044's!!!

Walden make some good- quiet pumps.

I do like the sard style surgetank with submersed pumps.

Sorry Walden was who I was thinking of

nothing wrong with a bit of noise IMO

Given basically all the GTR's going roundy-roundy here in melb are using just a replacement intank jap pump without any issues to speak of.

All are running on semi's and so on, all of them running rather ridiculous times, 380-400rwkw... Not one has a problem...

Sounds like poor pump mounting/installation.

I think you need to resolve the issues with the current setup, not change it.

That way you don't have a surge tank, added cost of $$$ lines to stop the fuel smell, noise and so on.

I cannot think of one advantage to what you are proposing given what alternatives are there
