Isnt this turning out a little excessive for sub 400kw?

I wonder why it needs so much flow, le hmm.

Sorry mate

Didn't realize I was spending your money,

Flow is no longer in question Jez have spoken with e85 guys and they believe it's related to the fuel heating up to much second pump is to help with said issue

I think what he meant by excessive was its seems odd that your fuel system isnt coping as well as others have, I dont think he was talking about cost.

Eg some people are getting enough fuel flowing to make around 360kw on e85 using a single 044 intank with standard fuel lines and you are having to add a surge tank, bigger lines and another fuel pump. Granted I dont think they are going to be putting out quite as much power as you when your tune is finished and they werent running as much boost, but still.

Sorry WHAT?

Dont be so defensive like im mocking your hard earnt layout. Good luck to you, I hope your stuff turns out well, I message Jez on the regular and get updates on how your cars coming along. The way you replied to that is almost offensive.

Mitch above is on the money. Im simply curious as to why its needing so much flow, and in a perfect world that could have lead to discussion about what other people have flowed with what setup. Who knows, maybe a few great minds would have joined in and helped troubleshoot so you can find out whats going on.

Spending my money, pff.

:no:

360kw with single pump is the limit.... Well 357 was the final SAFE number anyway

Standard fuel lines were all over and done with above 340ish.... I had to go bigger lines and modify the fuel tank hat...

This I was not aware of

GTR/GT-t = same last time i checked... Wonder how the GTR guys are getting 400rwkw+ through stock lines & E85 (with just a Nismo pump) :unsure:

I think its a lot to do with the fuel hat itself.... It was a restriction.... Hence the modification :)

355rwkw here on pump98 and single pump no restriction. and 335rwkw on eflex no restriction all stock lines and rail. in gtst.

Well i dont want to go dribbling shit without properly understanding it myself BUT on my car the fuel pressure was unsafe at 360kw, after the mods were done and it was rechecked the fuel pressure was spot on at 357kw so it was obviously a restriction...

My original post from page 30 said exactly that.

Then I edited it in fear of a flaming :P Thanks for putting it out there though, I knew I wasn't going mad.

Sydney is warmer than Mexico. We need stuff like 15 litre sumps and 3 fuel pumps. :woot:

Hahaha exactly.

Maybe this will make a few people scratch their heads.

I'm a bit behind on reading all threads at the moment. Too busy, so i tend to miss post replies where I usually see most even pre-edit :P

Nismo outflows a 044. Im hoping my single walbro 400 will be ok otherwise i will mount a 2nd pump in tank

    • Jump into the wasteland. Plenty of random posting/chatting going on in there.
    • I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly. 
    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.
