Alright i couldnt find much from searching, but im about to move to a external fuel pump setup with surge tank to replace my single walbro 400lph pump. I'm looking at a fuel system capable of supporting 650-700rwhp on e85.

My idea is to use 2x044's pumping into the standard feed and return lines, then have -6 feeds from the end of the hard lines to each end of the fuel rail and have a additional -8 return line to the surge tank.

I'm interested to know what others have done with the return line from the surge tank to the main tank, is it worth upgrading to -8 hose with a bulkhead fitting on the tank to lower the restriction of returning fuel or just use an adapter into the factory return line from surge tank?

also my fuel rail has a -6 return to the fpr, is it worth modifying to -8 or is it all overkill

Also if i did use a bulkhead fitting whats the best option with the jet pump, is it necessary as it looks to be quite a restriction to a higher capacity fuel system

I'm running a very similar setup.

Lift pump into a 5 litre surge tank, twin 044's into standard feed and return, into fuel rails, -8 out of the middle to reg, -8 back to surge, -6 back to tank using the standard fitting.

Absolutely no issue. I have a fuel pressure gauge which reads from the FPR. All seems happy. Has been like that for almost 4 years.

I went slightly different and fitted a pair of -6 lines from the two 044 pumps to the fuel rail,-6 out of the centre of the rail to the FPR, and the largest standard line as the return to the surge.

I have contemplated a fuel cooler as it does get warm, i have a spare -10 GReddy oil cooler core, but havent got around to it.

Is it a track only car or for street use as well? I have a Walbro lift pump and one 044 from the surge tank but its as loud as and I wouldn't want two of them. If I were doing it again (and if I were you) I would use one (or two) of the more modern pumps such as the latest Walbro Or DW pumps.

I would have thought you could make that power with what you have. The 460L e85 pumps flow 450ish kw at 13.8v, much more if you bump the voltage up. The stock lines would have done the job realistically.

If you need a surge tank for the track that's a different story, just make sure there is no raw alloy in the system, it does eventually corrode.

6an return should be fine.

044's are noisy old designs. There are much better, modern pumps up to the task for external duties when the Walbro can't keep up. Something with PWM ecu speed control built in is probably your best bet.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
