you can have it in the boot so long as it is completely sealed and drains to the outside, can be costly, i got one made to a design I made, it has a 2.5ltr surge tank and two 044's, has three 30mm id alloy pipes the go through the boot that act as the drains and the hoses go through them

Similiar to N1's just with out the pretty stickers

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Fuel-Surge-Tank-Und...=item3356ba225b

Doesnt appear to have the capacity above the pump Steve-O's does

curious coincidence the sellers name is Brad????

The current ones I'm using on my GTRs have individual chambers supplying the pumps and are foam filled to settle the fuel a bit more.

I rather use them with dash fittings as opposed to barb tails and clamps.

They work well and are realativly inexpensive.

Any more info available on these like the sound of the foam too, pm if ya prefer

Does it mount in roughly the same position??

Flow was a concern as Brad and Greg figured out the tank had to be over 4L for the pumps I'm using.

Safe too assume 2 x 44's or bigger?? Or was the lift pump more the issue??

Was planning on using my Nismo in tank as a lift then probly two 44's

Speak to EFI performance. Pierburg external fuel pump. No need for surge tank.

i am looking into this setup myself & will confirm tomorrow if this pump can run on its own - surely this is the way they run it in their high spec mercedes cars?

Yes I know what a surge tank is for. I understand what you are saying but I have been assured you wont need one with this setup.

Here is a 'quote' from an email from Rick at EFI

"We recommend you look into an extra external pump we use and recommend (pier berg) high volume fuel pumps which are a draw and push pump capable of 350L per minute @ 3bar where the bosch 044 external is only a push pump and with its expensive fittings ect they are rated at only 200L per min @ 5bar."

"We have used these pumps on over 40cars now and are really taking off, they can be used with C16, methanol and are also E85 user friendly where the bosch pumps are not."

Like i said, I reccommend speaking to the EFI guys. They are really helpful and great to deal with.

Any love for the PierBurg?

hey adam - i spoke to rick @ efi performance in qld. he said i could remove my surge tank & replace my lift pump with the pierburg pump on its own (either run it in-tank for a factory appearance OR under the car with a simple bracket) & this will support 500awkw no problem. also is alcohol & ethanol friendly

he explained that the 044 is rated for 200lph @ 5bar & the pireburg is rated for 360lph @ 3bar, most pumps loss efficiency with higher pressure however the pierburg remains flat & says easily maintains over 300lph @ bar.

they use these in mercedes sports cars & the bugatti veyron actually runs 4 of these pumps (1 for each bank) in the tank as they are submersible.
