What To Do?

[typhoon_freak]

im planning on putting a t04z

[RIP85]

where I took my car they did not want to fit my process west surge and 044 pump because it would make my car blow blue smoke on start up with the walbro intank pump. good luck with the surgie

Blow blue smoke? That doesn't sound right at all...

[RIP85]

yeah sounded like bull to me as well cause that is what a fuel reg is there for.

and the first excuse was it would make the injectors drip

pure gold

wow...you don't go there anymore do you?

[typhoon_freak]

am I thnking of the place your thiking off? if it is... hahaha ok. well heres what I will do. make the surge, put it up front, make a second hole incase I want to run 2 pumps at a later date, and just run the one for now.. I will start tomoroo or tuesday and post pics up as I go.

Run a upgraded intank up to a 3 to 4 litre tank, I would build a tank where the air box was, as you wouldn't be using that if chasing big power.

Or build your own larger tank in the void where process west surge fits.

From there 2 044's one going to each end of the fuel rail from seperate outlets from surge and have your fuel reg mounted central to bleed off excess fuel.

a cheap option to save on fuel pump life and reduce unnessary fuel circulation leading to frothing of the fuel which can cause leaning problems would be to run a trigger switch (few bucks from Jaycar) on the accellerator peddle to activate the second pump when accellerator is depressed say 50 - 70%.

Another slightly dearer option is to fit a pressure switch on fuel rail that activates the pumps.

use a pressure releif valve from surge tank for the excess return fuel so surge tank remains under pressure keeping pressurised fuel to the 2 o44's.

also run pressure valved fuel returns from the fuel rail and surge tank back to the fuel tank with exits as far away as possible to tank pump inlet.

Also if you can fit the foam baffle into tank as per fuel cells use this will stop frothing off the returned fuel as well as help fight fuel surge in the tank.

And why not just run one hi flow fuel pump like a SX 18208 255lph , 18203 300lph , 18207 450lph at 12v and 45psi.

Bosch 044 is approx 200lph.

the SX would look sweet in the engine bay being billet Alloy.

Best to run twin filter/s after surge tank pump/s, deleting the factory filter from under the floor, in doing this this will help fuel replenisment to surge tank.

This is a few options as to how I would set up my own fuel system.

If anyone has anything to correct me on or add go ahead, as all feedback good and bad is helpful.

sounds like an epic job 01txr but worth the benifits fark you must know the workshop I was refering too. lol

[typhoon_freak]

very interesting read there and a lot to take into consideration.. so you wud put the fuel filter after the surge? also.. if I was to swap the pumps over to a bigger one, you wudnt need a retune wud you? like wudnt push more fuel in?
