The OEM Fuel Regulator you will use will provide close to the same average pressure no matter which pump you use. Do understand that pressure from the pump will vary given how much current you end up producing throughout the rev range. This will indeed play with your AF Ratios...11 volts to any pump will push less fuel than 13-14 volts will....unless of course if you end up installing some form of a voltage regulator for the pump as to garantee 12 volts no matter what the engine is doing.
Bosch/Walbro/OEM pump doing 190lph could even be enough, but I am all for over building for safety.
I'd go with an adjustable FPR as well, just to give it another angle for tunability.....but that's just me.

Making a regulator is no prob , i just have to pull out the diagrams of the ones that l did for my car audio beast when i added professional audio equipment
11 volts ? thats literally a dead battery. Im sure the car battery should stay b/w 12.5 and 13.8 . Im not planning any stereo for this car, Really been there did that, considered it again , and frankly dont need the pain of frustration

So to answer buddy will the Gen 3 fuel pump be ok ?

I have seen as low as 9.3 volts go to the fuel pump on a variety of cars, heavily modded ones, near OEM etc. Anywhere from idle to WOT. Could have been ground leaks in some, others its the other equipment that saps the volts, sometimes its the wiring to the pump just being too thin.
Running your own wires direct from the battery on it's own relay(s) etc will do quite a bit for you....I would just for curiosity's sake check what volts run to the fuel pump on MR2's, I have never had the chance to check those yet....ACC on and have your volt meter plugged into the terminal where the pump connects. If you have peak/hold functions on your voltmeter, then give those a go and see what the range is during just startup, idle after warm up, idle after a good run, perhaps if you can have a buddy check the volts while going full-boogey, LOL.

that tank is located in a messed up place btw

Will do puretone on the weekebd.
Got my swirl pot that l designed for my A/W set up Pretty cool.
It will sit in the location where some cars have a cruise contol actuator. Also using its factory spots to mount it. It has in and outlets, drain, thread for temperature probe , radiator cap and spill pipe going to a Celica GT4 OEM resivour catch pot.
Also to eliminate any possible vibration sounds i used rubber boots that Toyota uses to hold down the air conditioner radiator.
l also made some aluminium pipe work for the A/W to route water from the front of the engine to the back. The bracket for this is mounted to the stays that hold the fuel lines near the air box. Will post pictures soon.
Im supervising the machining of the bracket and i must say its very nice.

BTW if all voltages are ok / l make them ok is the Gen 3 pump sufficient ?
The wolfkaz site suggets that the OEM is good for 13 psi ?

BTW if there was any confussion between the skyline and the 911 which was faster, they have just added TWIN ROTREXES on the twin turbo charger ! They are really sick

IF I remember correctly 3S-GTE is 190lph.....could be enough

SORRY GUYS FOR TAKING FOR EVER

i havent had the internet at my house in order to upload these pics for mandalay

[MANDALAY]

Thats the final resting spot, where cruise control would normally go.

very very nice

[puretone]

holy good god damn hell that's very nice looking!!

[MANDALAY]

A few teasers of the supercharger bracket bieng made.
Told you it was going to be CNC'd from a biggggg piece of billet.
Its a hell of a lot of waste but the surrounding aluminium was used to make jigs so the block could be held down.
Also ALL dimensions stored in CAD program so replicating the same part is easily done if anyone wants to venture down the same road.

[puretone]

is it done yet?!

[MANDALAY]

Getting there. Its a slow process because im not paying full price for machining. They put my job it when the machine is free.
That piece has to go through 3 machines and 4 stages. We are looking at about 24 hrs work time.

[puretone]

is it done yet now?

[da_horse]

dude stfu. good things come to those that wait

[puretone]

how 'bout naow?!

[MANDALAY]

^ you just want to add numbers to this post dont you !
Seriously if they charged me full price that bracket would be > $1000 , calculate it 30 hrs of preping, scanning , CAD and finally machining. Cant see anyone else doing this, but thats the price of doing something different and prototyping
Im sure China could reproduce it for 50 bucks.
Having my mate maybe price it when he goes to China again for his speakers.
BTW you should see it all on my donor engine by late next week.

looking very good man, can't wait to see the vids of it running

WIN!

this one, Wayno's ST184-BEAMS thread, followed by PHOENIX's turbo-thread....

I am all for CNC'd Billet any day of the week, getting it done afterhours by other diehards of the custom-built industry gives it even waaaaaaaaay more points in my book!

I wish I had the time & money && space to be doing more to my BEAMS'd rig...
