Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild

[MaczPayne]

I replied to my thread on the denso pump, but I'll put it here as well

I got mine brand new for $190 shipped from www.TitanMotorsports.com


Everyone else was backordered, the folks there had it shipped to my door in about 5 business days (It'll be quicker to you since they're in Florida)

I initially purchased it for 149.99 shipped from http://densofuelpump.com/index.html , but got a refund when I found out it was backordered. If you can wait, these guys are cheaper.

[TitaniumTT]

Thanks Johnson, but when I checked Titan, they had it for $235?

And that Denso Fuel Pump.com place that you're referring to has a neat little disclaimer underneath it... did you see that? These guys right?

http://densofuelpump.com/index.html

Please note that these fuel pumps do not come in Denso boxes. They are Denso fuel pumps modified by Kyosan in Japan. 100% authentic guaranteed.You can read a review of them here

These guys are the ones I bought it from previously - http://www.rallysportdirect.com/shop/shopping_cart.php

One Time fit kit has the pump, lines, and filter.... I might just end up going that route again.

I bought it from their ebay store, actually. They had it for $190 shipped, comes in an authentic Denso Box with all the fittings, adaptors, and new fuel filter.

Damn B.... Why not just build your own pump though

NICE... thanks much man. I actually called Rallysport today to order one but then they quoted me $50+ for overnight shipping which I was not pleased at especially when thier website says $30. I cancelled the whole thing and decided that I'm going to drop the cell tonight and pull both pumps. Tomorrow when my sealing washers are in from McMaster i'm going to rebuild the Surge tank mount for the Denso 1020 that I have and drop that in and put the cell back in place. In the lift pumps place will be the old Cosmo pump that I bought @ last years DGRR that I THOUGHT was bad.... I'm not convinced anymore. I'm going to flow test that one and if it flows >280+ lph @ 10psi, it will stay in place. If not, I'll order a new pump and drop it in. The cell doesn't have to drop to get to the lift pump, only the pressure pump...... and of course that's the one that's bad

I thought about it, there's no pump out there that flows better than 300lph that's quite............. MAYBE.... I have a plan. @ 70 psi the Denso is right on the cusp of being overdrawn by the injectors. If this is the case, it's time for a Kenne Bell BAP to get it up and over the hump.

It's really got me thinking about WTF I'm going to do about the FD though. That's going to need more fuel than the Denso can put out. That'll be an interesting project.... twin in surge tank Denso's

Ya know, when you think you've done everything, and over done it right....... this shit happens..... Oh well. I'm heading out to Dave's on Thrusday and kinda want to have this little issue sorted out so next wed (next day off) I can pull the engine make a few changes, bolt on the 6-spd, swap the 4.3 in and then maybe finally get over the dyno hump. When are you looking to head out Bill?

[vex]

Damn you and your projects that get completed in timely manners!

[TitaniumTT]

Yup

So I "tested" the Supra TT pump... unrestricted it will fill that 5 gal in about 3:05. It flows 97 gph or 367 lph

[helghast7]

hell yea dude, why do you think all the FD guys use them?

as the saying goes, that ive heard at least,....its the only the toyota built right

[TitaniumTT]

Wow, over a week since an update... ok, so here it goes in a quickie

Got the fuel cell working tip top. The old cosmo pump that I had actually turned out to be good. Tested right where it should've, 252lph @ 43.5 psi. Cool, so that's in the lift pump position, and the supra is in the surge tank position. So far everything seems to be awesome. I built a bunch of harness adapters and clear tubing to monitor V, A, and flow and it seems to be working as it should. The last little piece that I need to build is an overflow/recirc tank if you will that I plan to mount high where the spare tire once lived. I didn't really take into account thermal expansion when I designed the damn thing. The fuel is coming back hot, expanding in the tank, and puking out the vent. Bad.

The solution is about a gallon tank mounted above the cell itself. In theory the fuel can expand into that before it heads out of the vent. When the level in the tank falls, the fuel will siphon itself back into the cell. Hopefully that will cure the last of the woes with this little project.

Got the 4.3 Torsen swapped in yesterday as well as hauled the engine, cracked the pan off to remove the shims in the bypass valve. Pressure was WAY too high. FD reg + shimmed bypass + ported galleys, + o-ring sealed pump + cold 10w30 = 150psi cold!!! So the shims came out and everything is being buttoned back up. Also pulled the engine to FINALLY install the 6-spd. It'll be alot easier to mount the slave cylinder (that will be a modded S4 TII unit) with the engine/trans out of the car. Then stab it back in and build a mount.

I made a simple jig that fit's between the u-joints and the trans tunnel and the u-joints and the floor to position the trans/engine exactely where it was with the S5TII shit box trans. This way I should be able to get everything exactely where it wants to be.

I should have everything up and running in a few days. I was hoping to get a few hours in on the girl tonight, but the 13.5 hr work day had different plans. Tomorrow is out as well as it will be a 15+hr day.... ugh. maybe Sunday... I'm only expecting about 10 Oh well, what can ya do except continue to bust ass.

If all goes well, Dyno on 8/7 and auto-x on 8/8..... fingers crossed ladies

[WE3RX7]

You better be there 8/7, lol.... none of this calling me the night before telling me you're not sure if the 'ol girl will get done in time

I'll check with MC to see if he is good for that day too, I mentioned it to him but we hadn't firmed it up yet so I'll get back to him and see (if of course, he's not reading this thread)..

Oh, and thanks for all the annoying/dreadful research and work into fuel systems, I think you saved me several hours in my project when I go to do it... I'll start with a supra pump

[vex]

GL fellas I'll be getting laid that night (anniversary and all).

Yeah, and she did get done in time didn't she..... alnighter and I got lost on a backroad set that I took a thousand times, but I still made it didn't I? It was the sticky corner seal that kept us from having fun. I've got all day Thursday set aside to do 3 hours of work plus build a tranny mount.

That would be awesome, would be even better if you two made it to CT for an auto-x but I understand, the drive back and all.
