SAPNEN Donating Members 278 Member For: 16y 8m 7d Gender: Male Posted 28/09/09 09:40 AM Share Posted 28/09/09 09:40 AM (edited) I have just purchased a Surge tank (2 lts) and a Bosch 044.I have 60Ib Injectors, Growler CAI, 0.8 Platinum Plugs, 10psi custom tune (BPS). Can I install the surge and 044 without changing anything else??? Regulator? Tune?This is the next step before I upgrade the exaust and get another tune - which may not happen for 6 months.I just need to know if it is safe to run the new fuel system without needing anything else.Thanks Edited 28/09/09 09:42 AM by SAPNEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you guys would have seen it before, its made by Bugsy's bought off e-bay. The one I have though has two mounting points made to fit the ute underbody on the passenger side.

I would have your AF's at least checked on a dyno once installed. It could now be flowing in more fuel at the same injector pulse width that it was tuned for.

SAPNEN Donating Members 278 Member For: 16y 8m 7d Gender: Male Posted 30/09/09 08:50 AM Author Share Posted 30/09/09 08:50 AM Interesting... This is why I put the post up, to find out what other people have done and their experiences. I also thought that the regulator would keep the fuel pressure the same... BFHOON - was your car standard before installing a fuel sys + tune and gaining 50kW? Because I was told (by my tuner) that the standard injectors in the BF's are running 80% cycle standard. ---------And it is possible to gain 50kW with ONLY a custom tune from standard.Xrfrango - YES E-BAY I have bought alot of stuff from ebay all at good prices and all top quality, hoping this tank is also good (the welds look ok) just have to wait and see.

SAPNEN Donating Members 278 Member For: 16y 8m 7d Gender: Male Posted 03/10/09 08:24 AM Author Share Posted 03/10/09 08:24 AM (edited) Hey peeps, I got all excited today and bought the stuff I need to install my new surge tank and 044 (except cable to power the pump)I have a couple of questions 1. Where is that special pink wire which powers the standard fuel pump? ( I am going to hyjack for signal to new relay for 044) - (or I could find the fuel pump relay, and jack its signal) 2. See picture below... what type of fittings are these? (between the rubber hose and steel fuel line)my tank will be here...and I need to figure out the easiest way to hook in the fuel lines. 3. What size are the steel fuel lines?- I was thinking of going to Enzed and getting some fittings which lock onto the fuel line (when cut) so I would cut the lines and put fittings on them, then I would use 5/16" EFI hose and pipe clamps to do the plumbing...Any suggestions/answers would be great - thanks guys and gals Edited 03/10/09 08:26 AM by SAPNEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
