Every bit of info you want is already on the forum in various threads, start with the dyno result threads in this section which are even stickies up the top.

No way would i ever rely on a single pump for a high hp outfit.

Twin pierbergs for me, they outflow the 044's by a wide margin And at least there is some insurance if one shits itself.

Twice as many things to go wrong with two pumps. Especially two of lesser quality compared to a Weldon; plus you could get the Weldon rebuilt every xxxx kms.

Is the Weldon a brush motor? It will need rebuilding then. Is anyone running the new brushless pumps like the Aeromotive or Fuelab? They look like the go for 400 to 800 lph and less than a third of the Welden price.

This is a pointless thread as it depends on what the engines BSCF. Some setups will be lots more efficient at converting the fuel to power. I have made 560rwkw on a dyno dynamics dyno that reads lowish with 6 x 880cc injectors with 2x044 and still had enough margin in the tune for more.

I look at this another way. If you have twin pumps, one dies without you warning. Cars seems to run fine but is running lean and pops the motor. Running a bigger single pump and it fails you will know about it as the motor will stop :)

Mind you if we ever get E85 on pump in WA i will probably be forced to run twins, twin in-tank walbros will probably get the tick :)

The aeromotive gear is veeery noisy... but most importantly ALOT of guys in the US runn them and have to send them back/ warranty/ replace them on a regular basis.. If your pushing 1000+hp at the crank, then you will be re-building your engine more often than the fuel pump.... hp costs money!

This is my argument.... Iv'e seen it first hand. Two bosch pumps on paralell, one shtis itself and the other tries to pick up the slack.... it\s only lean right in the top end (the most important/ dangerous end) of the power curve. Especially if there's no non-return valves fitted!!!

For those using the factory hicas lines for fuel lines, whats the best way to connect to them?

Cut the ends off, slide a flare sleve and nut, flare the end and hey presto you have a female flared coupling.... then use any (correct size) AN or dash male fitting.

Other than they flow nothing at 80psi. Walbro HP's are better but those aeromotive walbro style ones seem the go for intank.

200L per hour at 80psi, so in twins would flow 400L per hour

On a 6 cylinder that's enough to feed 1100cc injectors!

Not exactly nothing...

They are right at their limit, the graph here shows it. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/357584-aeromotive-340lph-and-deatchwerks-300lph-in-tank-fuel-pumps/

Running them past 80psi causes cavitation, the pump cant suck any more fuel up and gas bubbles are produced by the vacuum, this will shag the pump bearings and impellers. Only a problem at over 30psi unless your base pressure has been bumped up...

The large Aeromotive pumps have had bearing problems in the past, they have the same cavitation issues unless you run -8 lines minimum apparently.

Don't look at the Walbro 255l graph, no one should be stupid enough to use one of those!

The GSS-342 pumps are the 255l HP line on the graph you posted and still even flow 175l/hr at 90psi

Plus as you said any skyline running less than 2 bar would be more around 70psi pressure :)

Got any pics?

nath, flaring the ends of the hicas lines so you can run a regular AN male fitting is the go, BUT the hicas lines are farking hard to flare. you need a decent flaring tool to do it and probably have to heat the line up a bit too. I'm not sure that I could get a nice flare on them. failing that plenty of people just use the tool that gives you are raised bump around the circumference and then run a push on type fitting with hose clamp. not ideal but they will work if done right. if your flaring for the AN coupling make sure you don't forget to slide the nut on first!!

    • Hi guys looking for a r33 Gtst stock exhaust asap in Melbourne have $$ waiting thanks 
    • 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.
