after getting everything ready for my new fuel setup

it dawned on me that issues with unused fuel returning to tank hot ,

could be aided by some type of cooling

i was thinking a small oil / trans cooler with a fan mounted to it might work

some thing like this

im looking for suggestions / criticism so go ahead folks

what do you think?

Except a car with 600hp willl heat up the fuel as it usually only needs 50hp of fuel and 5the rest goes round and round. I would say it isnt really an issue in a drift car, as they dont run for very long, and as rob said a good % of the fuel that goes into the rail goes into the motor, not round and round

Waste of time match your fuel pumps flow rate to your power output with a safety margin of 30% and you won't have any issues with hot fuel.

1500hp twin turbo v8's...... idling around town with aeromotive 11102 's there is a whole lot of bypass.. hence why we use them. Application

using a cheap tranny cooler from super shit in the return line on my car. mounted it just behind the diff.

i dont see how you'd be getting hot fuel in a drift car tho, it takes a long time at light load for even a 044 to start cavitating, not like drift cars are at 1-2% inj duty for long

Why the hell do you have two aeromotive pumps when 1 is capable of that horsepower. Why wouldn't you just you just stage the big pump and run an 044 as a primary? Surely a 1500hp car isn't going to be hanging around the streets for too long anyway

As far as formula's go. Multiply your injector size by the amount of injectors you have then add 30%.

RE-READ my post "twin turbo V8's" ..... im referring to multiple cars hence multiple pumps....

you would be surprised how many kms one of them does, frequently driving interstate.

    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
