I think you may need to go external, although you can still mount the larger (2000hp) external pumps intank apparently.

With the G forces you are heading towards, you should be more worried about fuel surge... ;)

Lol. I want to do somthing along this line. But its way easier to just run a surge tank and as I plan to run 3 external pumps. 044's. Im planning on having the stock pump fill the surge tank and have it overflow back to the stock tank. Im hoping this will be good for about 600hp to the wheels.

Would think 2 would be plenty. I have one 044 in my car and its way too noisy - I'd hate to have 3 of them - there are better (and cheaper) options these days - but I believe yours is a track only car (or drags).

Having a PWM controlled pump is critical in a road car, so as not to overheat the fuel. Plus, not many of the larger pumps like running 100% duty for long.

Using multiple pumps without some method of making sure they are working properly is a good way to lunch an engine. I run twin Walbros, one feeds each V6 rail, so if one fails, the engine just runs on 3 cylinders.

Totally agree, and they are only rated for 70 hours life span on e85 apparently.

That's what I bought, Fuelab seem to be one of the only brands to have the speed controller built in, and I am pretty sure they can be mounted intank with an appropriate filter. No idea why you would want to though, at that sort of power you need the surge tank anyway.

I to am now looking at a Fuelab Prodigy pump, just a matter of which one is going to match my Weldon 2025-A closest, probably the 42401

Will mean I can run my PWM signal straight to it is simplify my wiring

Has anyone had one of these for any lenght of time ?

How quiet are they ?

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
