Did this mod, takes a long long time to do it right. I ran 50 amp wiring and a 70 amp relay (incase i go e85 twin pumps) to my 400L walbro, all works. (it doesnt work if its hooked up backwards :unsure: and the pump sounds funny.) but hooked up correct polarity and presto.

Question, which fuse? im running a 25A atm, is this right??

And will I need a fuel cooler?

That sounds like the wiring setup I installed, slightly overkill but at least you never need to do it again. The fuse is to protect the cable, and the pump may draw close to that on startup seeing as it draws up to 18 amps in operation. I would go for a 30 A fuse at least, actually I went with 2 x 30A fuses for my twin 342 pumps.

I need a cooler for the flow the twins are putting out, (similar flow to the 400L) but it takes over an hour of driving to heat the fuel, are you doing long distance driving with your car?

Haha I did the exact same thing with the polarities! :P

+1 for 30A.

I live 2 hours from any city lol so mostly 100+ km/h driving on highways.. Whats the giveaway that fuels getting too hot?

Mine heats up much worse in city driving as there is no under car cooling, on the open road it takes a lot longer. I still have to find a nice 6an trans cooler for the return and then find space to put it, I also need to fit the ethanol content sensor in the return line somewhere. Always so much to do and no time to do it.

Just feel the tank, mine felt hot to touch last time I was at Calder.

    • 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?
