lol, well fair enough steve-o and paul, I still say you guys are lazy. shit even F1 teams use gravity to put their fuel in!!! but you guys need pumps? maybe an easy idea would be a simple gerry can stand? hold the can at the correct height, would flow a hell of a lot faster than a pump rig... would be hands free once you lift the can up, and let the good times flow....

still each to their own. i need the exercise I get from occasionally lifting up a 20kg can and holding it for 30 seconds or so. :)

LOL. It came in handy this week. Draining fuel from a car which you couldn't turn the engine on. Through the boot and suck away. We got a multi on it.... 10.5 V at the pump terminals. Hmmm. Shorter cables with a possiblilty of doubling them up or a thicker cable with a 12 V rated switch, not a 240V. V 2.0 in progress ;)

I thought about a stand before this, but all the stands that I was thinking about had the same problem of being too big when packed away in the car when driving somewhere but the fuel pump is just that, a pump and some lines all of which easily fit into one of those enviro bags you get from coles :)

Time to shorten the wires, get slightly larger ID tubing and then finally mount it so it doesnt look to pov spec

paul has guns to hold 100kg of e85 - stevo on the other hand...hmmm

HA!

beerbaron - u cracked me up with your comment of f1 teams using gravity fed jerry cans, very true & very funny

lol, i'm reading that marko thinks he can take steve-o in a bout of greco roman wrestling... happy to referee if needed...

just don't fart when you are locked in some kind of gay choker hold. it's not polite and will get you disqualified. and no john hoppa type finger pointing pls.

this is what I envisage. marko v steve-o. who can tell where one man ends and the other begins? beautiful it's own disturbing way...

hi nathan - house reno's is taking up too much of my time, im always thinking about this damn pump though & very keen to see how it performs.

the good news is that i did sell my old surge which had 2 x 044's & also sold my intank 044.

i also need to determine what pump is currently running intank in my gtr - i should just ask my mate who had this mod done 15yrs ago (i think its a nismo)

Back from the Dead..

what in tank pump would be best to use on a R33 300-400rwkw running E85

Aeromotive 340 Stealth inline and deatschwerks pump look the goods but would they keep up for a car on E85 say 350Kw and boost max of 25Psi?

They look like they can for 98 but will the flow be enough for E85?

(currently have a Walbro 255 HP? which i don't think will cut it.. could i be wrong?)

i believe the Aeromotive 340 pumps dont like E85 ...i have heard of a few failures of them when using e85, shame because when i saw them i was hoping i could use them also.

Looks like 044 wins again.

    • 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. 
    • Yeah go with that one
