yes we run a volvo fuel pump which works fine...As for the surge tank...They as a simple option that only requires one pump...   Basically what you do is reomve the 1600 tank and drill a series of holes in the base (towards the back edge on the right or left hand side) in a small cirlce configuration. Then you weld on some 3-4" steel pipe so it drops down about 3" around the holes and weld a plate on the bottom...You drill and tap a fitting into the centre of this plate for a drain plug and then weld a fitting to the side of the bottom of the pipe for a fuel pick up (about 1/2" inch from to bottom to allow for any crap to settle into the bottom of this pipe... (You have to block of the standard pick up by some means as this is no longer used).  If made correctly the tank will fit back in with out a problem...The 3" pipe hangs down into the tyre well slightly.  The fuel will always fill this pipe as it is the lowest point and as it holds around 1/2 a litre you should not run out of fuel on had corners.  The small holes allow the fuel to drain in fine but make it hard for the fuel to escape.   Its easier to show if i had pictures (no digital camera). We have this setup on our race car which works fine. You can run the tank down to the last litre with out a problem and have never had it starve for fuel..     ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Jones To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 11, 2000 10:12 AM Subject: RE: S14 manual My solution to this issue would be   Mitsubishi Magna filter to Cavity filter to Holley Red ( Pre Pump ) to swirl pot to EFI Pump ( If you had the money Bosch Motor Sport, however you will achieve similar flow rates if you go to your local Volvo wreckers source one of the old fuel injection pumps out of a 240GL I think , they flow great) into 5/16 fuel lines, optional rising rate fuel regulator or if you have an after market ecu then a standard could suffice but the numbers are large.   You will have all the fuel pressure you need.   The big saving is in the volvo pump.   Jim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Geordie Smith Sent: Thursday, 10 August 2000 16:07 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: S14 manual No problem.   My next question regarding my Project Nissan Mission..   It appears that I require a EFI fuel pump to deliver something line 40-60psi of fuel through the fuel rail. I assume that the bluebird pump is inadequate for the task. So I am tossing around several options.   1. Rip the bluebird fuel lines out and stick in bigger & better ones, replace existing pump with a EFI pump. or 2. Leave it all there, install a surge tank in the engine bay to take about 1 litre of fuel from the standard pump, and install an auxillary pump which is capable of delivering from the surge tank.   I already own the auxillary pump so that is looking like to me to be a better option. I am on a real tight budget now, I have spent my engine-swap budget already so I can't afford much more...   What do you think is my best option?     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Errol Smith Sent: Thursday, 10 August 2000 3:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: S14 manual Geordie, Yes I did thank you heaps. I have been lax in not sending you a thanks for that (Insert the word Johnny H has so much trouble with)** I was pretty impressed with some of the add ins as well. Once again thanks Geordie.
