Hello guys. My last fuel system I did was a total over kill to the point where I had a voltage issue. To much pumps in short.

I would guess one of the best solutions would be like a fuel lab variable pump that has a multiple output range. I'm using a power fc and don't know if this ecu, would be possible to control one of these pumps. I'm also not sure if there is some sort of stand alone controller that could be used in conjunction with the power fc . If that's the case I'm all game for that.

 

For now I was looking at a ridium surge tank with 2x walbro e85 pumps. That would feed two entry to a ridium fuel rail with a return to the main stock fuel tank. Overflowing surge tank would always stay overflowing back to the oem tank. I want to keep the OEM tank as of now I have a walbro e85 pump in the right now.

So that would be a total of 3 walbro e85 pumps. I am planning on using an upgraded alternator but would prefer not to use it. Keeping the system low in voltage requirements and only upgrading the alternator as a bonus. Also I don't think the one e85 free flowing would be able to maintain the surge tank to the point of overflowing back to the main oem tank on full load. One solution would be to return to the surge tank and over flow to the main tank. (oem) the idea I had was to keep the fuel cool by returning it to the main tank.

Staging the 2 supply pumps would also be an option.

Damn the more I write this the better a variable fuel lab pump sounds. There has to be a controller that could use a tps signal to vary the pmw signal to the pump.

To mention a little about the build it's a rb26 running all supporting mods for 900hp. I would like the fuel system to at least get close to that level. But I would be ok at 700. As I don't think I will push it that hard.

 

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Seems like the controller for these pumps are inside. I would just need a pmw signal. The question remains is there some device that would convert a tps signal to a pmw signal. ?

      Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.

      Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below.

      It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.

      What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?

      It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup
