If you do the return then you know it's done but I'm hearing you about the fuel tank. I still haven't dropped mine for the first time and I'm dreading it... Still unsure of what I want my end goal to be which will likely end up bigger than planned as always!I don't have the cash for a built engine or the man power to do it these days anyway, that's why your build and others is good for me. Almost like I'm along for the ride plus I gain some knowledge to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set it back to 4 bar as I had been fiddling with it and it was slightly under. That means the restriction is after the quick connect, towards the tank. Now it's beer time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the filter was blocked or the hoses were split it would restrict supply Fwiw I used proper expensive ass intank fuel hose rated for all the pressure, when I installed the pumps.

A Falcon tank would definitely benefit from a fuel mat, though come to think of it, it would work well in a Territory too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you drill out the return quick fit on the top of the intank module (4mm I believe?) and also remove that check valve bead/BB that's in the swirl pot?Apart from undersized return line (if that's the issue) they are the only other things I can think of...

Added a bulkhead fitting to the tank and ran a 10mm fuel hose from the end of the steel return pipe. Fuel pressure dropped from 6.5 bar to just under 2 bar. Set it to 4 bar, welded a giant split in my newish muffler and hit the dyno. Did a couple of hours on the dyno to dial in the custom PCMTec sd fuel map. Ended up with 474awkw at 23psi on 98 octane. 10 degrees of timing for the interested. It needs work but it's getting there.
