I have searched but cant find what im after and have a few questions.

When using twin external o44's with a surge tank is it necessary to use inline one-way valves in the fuel line after the pump or are they not needed? If they are needed where can they be purchased.

Also hoping someone can tell me if ts possible for me to only have one of the 044 pumps running when the car is on low boost setting, and have a switch on the dash that activates high boost to the vipec and also activated the second pump?

Just trying to limit the amount of fuel going roundy roundy when the car is just idling and all that fuel is not needed.

I ask this as im using a twin entry rail and twin feeds and thought if one pump was on and the other wasn't it would force fuel back through the pump that is off?

its recommended you use check valves for twin pump setups that run all the time.

if you want to switch 1 of them you definately need check valves, as like you said without them you'll be pumping back through the pump thats off.

a switched 2nd pump is a good way to keep temps down, aslong as theres no chance of it being left off when its needed

The bosch pump comes with a one way valve already on it. Get the banjo and cap from mercedes.

Don't put it on a switch, that is a lot of stuffing around for no reason

So in that case do you think im just better off to fit a cheap bleed valve on the car and rather than spending the money on a mac valve and wining up the boost through the vipec?

That way I would have both pumps running all the time and no need for ckeck valves?

When using muliple pumps of this design in parallel, check valves/non return valves are a must.

The ViPec can controll the switching of a second pump. You could also use a boost pressure or rpm reffrenced switch to controll the second pumps operation.

Or use a fuel pump speed controller from weldon or aeromotive etc...

      See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.

      That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
