Hey.

Looking to upgrade my fuel system, and my car has a returnless fuel system. My stock FPR in the tank is not up to the job of making anymore power.

I need a non-return, boost referenced FPR.

Would this work? Here on eBay

That aeromotive one has one inlet and three outlets, so in theory i should be able to use that in a returnless system right?

Like this:

Yeah? Any other models of FPR that would work? Basically I need something with an inlet, outlet AND a return.

Thanks.

Edit:

Why cant u run a return line?

The stock system is returnless, and there's no extra fitting on the end of the fuel rail to run a return back to the tank. And as far as I've seen, there's no aftermarket companies that make a return style fuel rail of good quality.

That will work fine - my pick would be a sard or nismo regulator. Stay well away from turbosmart.

Got to ask - whats wrong with whats already there? Have you run out of fuel pump?

Nah I've run out of FPR flow. The stock FPR in the tank isn't boost referenced and I'm guessing it's running out of flow and the pressure is dropping at around 13psi on this set-up. Max boost sees 76% duty cycle from the injectors, and I've got a genuine 500hp walbro in the tank. The only other link in the chain is the FPR, so logic says it isn't up to scratch.

Cant you run a new braided fuel line and use the stock one as the return Cam? What does the stock fuel pump setup look like?

Stock set-up is a pump, filter and FPR built into the fuel canister. Pump receives a constant 12V (have checked it), base fuel pressure is 3.5bar, and the line's size is 7.95mm (5/16th)...

p.s. thanks for replies fellas!

I would just braze a stainless dash fitting on the closed end of the rail and reverse the flow, run a referenced reg off the stock line in the engine bay, a new pump bracket and braided feed line and you are done.

A stainless plate for the tank with the fuel fittings, insulated connectors and pump hanging off it would be good, as im sure your pump assembly is plastic like mine right?

Woah that's a huuge job!

Wouldn't it be just as effective to run the FPR and utilize the stock line, like my amazing paint drawing described? I've heard the limit for a returnless system in the Sentras (same engine, car in the US) is about 400hp.

I'm nowhere near that at the moment. It should work returnless no problems. I wanna avoid going to a returnless system as much as possible, it would be a karnt of a job, and I can't justify doing all that work if i'm not planning anymore power down the track...

Dude, you just put a turbo in. How is a fuel line and reg too hard. :P

True hahah... Only problem is this car is my daily, so intake manifold off, fuel rail out, sending fuel rail off to be welded, running a return line down the back, tuning it all on the street etcc.. would take more than a weekend!

But from what I see, it'll work just the same return or returnless.

Scotty do ya reckon the aeromotive FPR I linked above would suit? I've found a good seller on eBay and a good price! From what I hear they make good gear, and it's got the right number of inlets/outlets...

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
