feul pumps regs etc?

[NOLAW]

right im now down to the fuel side of the conversion, im planing to run a bosch 044 fuel pump with turbosmart 800hp reg and custom surge tank, would this be ideal for my 4agte, am running 550cc injectors incase anyone needs to know.

also if anyone has any better recommendations or something else i may need feel free to let me know

also i dont want any recomendations judged on price as that dosent matter at this stage, just after information of good products that would be suited for my motor and would perform well

cheers guys

what will you be doing with the car? how much hp? etc

[IH8TEC]

hey, i'm using standard gze pump for pickup to the surge tank with a bosch 044 with the holder on it (extra $60)

make sure you get good inline fuel filters, mine and bazdas on the suck side of the pump are from pioneer autoparts and cost $150ish, got the other little screen filter from overseas

i'm running -8 braided teflon (no fuel smell) for main feed on my car which is probably overkill for what i will need, but hey, what the hell. and -6 on the return utilising the standard main fuel feed line for the return.

oh sweet cheers guys, anymore opinions feel free =)
car will be used for street and occasional track and strip use as for power its just a 16v 4agte but am aiming for 200+kw atw

[escortman]

thats similar power im aiming for
im using walbro 500hp intank pump and sard fuel reg and will have some 510cc injectors wired in when ecu tuned

walborough will do to an extent when drag racing, i couldn't really run under 1/2 tank on the drag strip with just intake pump, (reason one for surge tank)

and i wanna do track work as well so lots of cornering (reason two for surge tank) you dont wanna have no gas round a hard fast corner.

could even get a walborough external pump, or a bosch 040.

mines only for drags atm and wont be as quik as urs i think should be ok wat do u rekon?

[IH8TEC]

as long as you have enough gas in the tank you will be fine. if it's too low, you'll be hearing and feeling it miss and surge down the track, which = bad.

i ran just a walbrough in my red car, went fine, jsut had to have more gas = more weight = slower.

[escortman]

o ok y is that just the design of the tank?
cuz both my m8s run walbro intanks in ther 180s 1 rb20det and other sr and both run more boost and have chipped ecus etc and run sweet

[IH8TEC]

my car uses ALOT of gas when runnign 25psi though as well, the baffle in the tank is not that great, doesn't really hold that much gas in it, dont know what the tanks in your mates cars are like. they supported 330kw in bazz's car. but yeah, can't run them that low on gas, i can imagine it would be worse for circuit in a reasonably high powered car.

[Crucible]

I dont use a surge tank in my car, i did notice in 3rd WOT on 19psi towards the end of my runs my car would "hold off" and stop pulling with 1/4 tank av gas. I put that down to fuel surge cos it def wasnt a missfire, and boost was solid. I think if i ran a surge tank it would of fixed that problem.

you can just use a stock reg for 200kw. I fitted an adjustable one to mine and the guy who tuned it didnt even alter pressure, he tuned it on 35psi base pressure, thats with 13bt 550s aswell.

[IH8TEC]

thats with 13bt 550s aswell.

and i've maxed mine out with 52psi base pressure

[QikStarlie]

how rich tho!

200kw using 550's and stock reg can be done, but injectors will be maxed out, not good

[NOLAW]

just bringing this back up again for a quick question, will one of those 800hp turbosmart regs be allgood to use with the 044 feul pump and injectors, motor etc?

I ran my 1600 with 550's and std reg at 200kw fo a seasons racing.

Worked fine, but yes injectors were near there limit.

how much boost was that? and what turbo?

[IH8TEC]

18psi i beleive his class was then

[NOLAW]

anyone?

[IH8TEC]

never used one of those regs, but as long as it can hold a good stable pressures it should be fine.

[IH8TEC]

it will be fine with that bosch pump, as bosch pump itself is rated for around 6-700hp aren't they?

can always email turbosmart
