so we're pretty much the same then. Built 26, 2530's. ID1000's and intank Nismo. That's it :)

Full time Eflex use (unless i need to fill up with 98 if i'm not near an Eflex outlet, then i just let the flex-fuel setup take care of things) but 95% eflex use, couple track days and about 6 months i think on this setup

Its about 5 litres in capacity, Nismo "lift" pump (as that what was my intank before the surge tank was installed) and 2 X 044's to feed the engine. I have a Fuel pressure Gauge sitting on my steering column and at no point have I seen pressure drop either on the track or on the street.

I took the car to Unigroup and said "I want a 5 litre surge tank with 2 x 044's, go" and that's what I got.

It may look like it hangs low in the photo's but it definately doesn't.

Piggaz that looks good, can you see the tank from behind the car?

Only when he is going over a crest and you're following at night your headlights will shine off the very bottom edge quickly - so it's very well hidden

Yeah, as Steve said above. Ill take a photo tomorrow and upload it. I'll stand 15 M away to give you an idea. If I just got off my arse and sprayed it back you would be hard pressed to see it.

we all know u will never do it as it would fall immediately into the 'too hard basket'

Nice Setup.

Which brings me to a question - what is the general thought on mounting the pump or pumps in-surge-tank. ie in the surge tank immersed in the fuel?

I have a 044 in tank (main tank) and it runs almost silently, I assume it stays relatively cool and free from corrosion being in fuel. Certainly when you take the 15 yr old stock pump out it looks brand new, as does all the wiring/fittings etc.

Any reason people don't do this other that it being (maybe) more complex?

And also, rather than running duel 044's, is no one running big single pumps like Fuelab, Weldon etc?

I'm looking to do E85 setup soon and so looking at all these options.

    • 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?
