This is my setup. There is a boost a pump unit that does 17.5v when active and a continental pump control module. these sit where the stock fuel pump resistor module lived under the ABS/atessa ecus. Tested at 20v/20a for a few hours 100% duty no problems. The relays are for power and the normal/high voltage signal for boost a pump. pump is a Pierburg L3LM screw pump.

Was a bitch to get into the r34 saddle tank but I have magnets to hold the hydramats in place. the hydramats cover basically all of the driver side saddle floor.

The sard jet pump return line (not shown here) is pointed right onto both the hydramats to keep them wet.

Notice the split hydramats feeding the pump. If the mats were damp (hence the jet pump return flowing directly onto both mats) there is enough surface tension to only suck from submerged sections of hydramat. You can have one corner of only one of the mats submerged in fuel and it sucks up no air.

The t-piece join is only 5cm vertical from the mats so very little suction head difference.

Pump works, I haven't got it to a track yet to see. Am logging fuel pressure with a engine protection function on injector delta so I'm not worried about my engine.

I haven't changed any of the venting. The charcoal canister line is still in place which is for fumes leaving the tank. The fuel cap is the vacuum relief and I've tested it is working correctly, are you saying it is inadequate? It allows air in to the tank once it gets to between to -3.3 to -6 kPA of vacuum according to the manual.

The 2200 is a natural gas injector and hopeless on liquid fuel.

The 1650 is a Bosch Motorsport injector designed for liquid fuel and is all stainless steel inside. (Really only flows ~1500 at 3 bar)

As mentioned earlier in the thread, it is a good idea to upgrade the venting when upgrading pumps. 

On a standard fuel tank, is it possible to get a vented fuel cap? Where is everyone mounting their upgraded vents? Being one of the highest points, can it be installed inear the top of the fuel filler neck? Or am i looking at this wrong?

Re injectors. I am aware the 2200 is a cng injector. I know people who run both, particularly on e85. Neither seem to really have a problem... unless they arent telling me lol

I got an alloy hat spun up, drilled and tapped threads for the fittings. I ran a -12 breather with a "roll over valve" so air can only come in the tank. (No fuel smell).

expensive? Yup....

Heres 2 reasons not to run the 2000's these came outta my evo after around 10k km's. Car was bucking and surging and carrying on E85 of course.

Bosch 1550cc, often advertised as 1650cc (when run at 4 bar base) if you're on a budget. If not ID1700X and call it a day.

2000/2200cc CNG injectors are gay full stop, tried to road tune a set and they were awful.

I've been down this same road and it's a nightmare, I remember.getting blasted for do an over kill fuel system. sadly my last resort was an upgraded alternator. it didn't help much. but I guess it's a learning curve and expensive one at that.
Now my car just sits, move out and in my shop everyday even tho I like it so much, I'm sick to the stomach to drive it. I'm planning on re-doing the whole car. I'll go with a fuel lab variable pump next time. I'll spend a lot of time planning. of course I'll have to go with a Haltech ecu to manage it all. thanks for your thread. it was interesting to read.

Ok so am about done with the fuel system bar a couple of small items. 

I am using xspurt 1550s.

Well that tells us your injector choice.  The "small items" ie all the bits before the injectors are what I'd like to see details and pics for if possible.

Tank top hat, wiring, pump(s), pump control, jet siphon pump, reg, and lines.  That's all the good stuff IMO.

Lol will get some pics up shortly

Starting from the tank;

1 walbro 460 with e85 submersible hose in tje stock fuel hat. From there an6 feed to the surge and an6 overflow back into the tank. An6 was the largest fitting i could get which would work on the stock fuel hat push on fittings.

I ended up using a raceworks surge tank with 2 walbro 460s. The above will be covered up bit is just open for photo purposes. The tank comes disassembled but it pretty straight forward to put together.

From there all fittings are teflon lined braided hose, full flow an fittings from aeroflow. Theres about 2 dozen or more fittings. The tank is mounted to the body using rivnuts.

 

2018-01-13_03-08-06

Under the car is the fuel filter and bracket also mounted using rivnuts.

Moving along, where the old fuel filter used to sit now houses the the flex sensor bypass.

Up front i am using a turbosmart fpr2000 as it has an8 fittings, aeroflow rail and xspurt 1550s which i sourced from scottys customs. The injectors fouled the balance tube a bit due to their height but i rotated them left or right so they clear and the plugs could reach.

2018-01-13_04-28-18

I have a couple smaller lines to make and am yet to wire it up but thats not difficult to do. Any fitting with an orb was replaced with a buna n o ring.

An ard alternator is currently somewhere between here and japan so that should make the system work happily. Thank all for your input and advice.

    • Yeah I'm happy to talk to whoever, I don't want to take ownership or even manage it if they don't want but I can probably help with hosting on the sau setup. It's a great resource and should be protected.
    • So, got some bits..   New oil filter housing gasket (main problem I'm trying to fix -see leak above)  While you're in there's: New belts, pulley and tensioners.  Vanos oil line New oil drain valve New water pump and pulley  New fumoto valve (all my cars have these). Some of this stuff seems ok now that I've pulled it out but I still have no idea how old it all is.  The belts looked fine and then I noticed this. Like somebody has hooked it with a pick. 
    • As the title suggests, Looking for some comfortable replacement seats that will suit/fit an R32 GTR. Purely road use.  Happy to travel to the Tweed, Gold Coast and Brisbane area. Possibly Sunshine Coast for the right seats. Show me what you got! Thanks in advance.
    • Customer states,I got an oil leak.  Customer was raht.
    • Hi friends, I recently got myself back into an R32 GTR with factory seats. The seats themselves are in excellent condition but the drivers seat is a bit tight for my back and become uncomfortable after about 20min of driving. The passenger seat is a little better so I'm not sure what is going on there, almost as if the drivers seat is newer and has not been worn in.  Anyway, I'm looking to replace them with something thats going to be comfortable for road use.  I was looking at these replica seats from Crank Motorsport however there has been a number of reviews of the company that aren't great so i'm a little skeptical.  https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/185466689021?_skw=r32+GTR+front+seats&itmmeta=01JKS72VG115M2Y3KBGCBCWYDD&hash=item2b2ead15fd:g:cMAAAOSwhhZlsIpK&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKl6v17FmqPFPHrHp4kFm2I9VMAXrpZg5R8sUXH6QLUAkliQu34NiG%2F84PJ05lKf2iGboUiWpWbvHYPYKsT154rul3I%2FaGRskpG8VfgyrwC9%2BdRj7uoDAPGJH%2FVprfvd6pgAN2XmUz6buE9YHvOPCKhtJfsQXhEzwgmVTcIwEkkV0A1r%2FkyJYMmQK0OKLI%2FrM%2FQLzeAOkN9B6WLAPrNyFlml%2FkG%2BYzkTXGJ8LN%2B0NCSLfczQGSYeJqPfvMFMgDL2gOD%2BPWb3sX1D1A6PxY5jqyMGey7zin4sDqrUrA7CpqLLpA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMmriLp55l I also live In the Northern Rivers and these seats are in Melbourne so I can't even try them out before purchase.  Is there anywhere/anyone around the Gold Coast, Tweed or Brisbane area that would have a decent selection of seats I could test out before purchase. A lot of these places seem to be in Sydney and Brisbane. Maybe there's an individual who has an after market item such as Bride or Recaro I could quickly try? Thanks in advance!
