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.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
