chrisfindlay Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Yeah he owns a sweet army green 70. by the time its n the road, it will no longer be army green :) Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Posted January 18, 2012 OK new issue. Now its running sweet (most of the time) when I go around corners, or come to a complete stop and try to go, it stops and starts, cough, splutter. My car doesnt have a surge tank. Would this be the issue, though I never had an issue like this before my last fix. Is a surge tank 100% necessary? This may seem like a stupid question I know but all I need is a Y or N. Quote

B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Seen the Nos bottle for sale ? Yeah I was thinking the same thing. No more fish tanks just an answer please. fishtanks after. Edited January 18, 2012 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 The fuel tank of a ke70 is not baffeled to run a Efi System. All ke70's 4ages I've seen run a surge tank. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah its just weird how it has only started happening now. I'm pretty confident all my rewiring was solid. The fuel pump is cranking. I just filled it to the brim with fuel and it seemed to go away after about 5 minutes of driving (I'm assuming the air bubbles worked their way out). Maybe after my fixing its running better therefore the lack of good uninterrupted fuel pressure is more noticeable? Quote

When cornering fuel slosh's around and distrupts the constent pick up of fuel needed for efi. Quote

When cornering fuel slosh's around and distrupts the constent pick up of fuel needed for efi. Yeah I understand that, but it also happens when I come to a stop. then go. Fuel wasnt seriously low, maybe a 1/4 tank. Quote
BlueKsev Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Do you know what fuel pump it has? I know when some people do the 4age conversion they mod an ae82 pump to fit, and they don't sit low enough in the tank so they start to get issues when the petrol gets low. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Walbro external mounted under the drivers side rear passenger seat. I suppose I can just see if the problem returns on a low tank. I thought surge tanks on the *e7* conversion was just to be fully hektik for mad skids. Wasnt sure if was actually a necessary component for daily (enthusiastic) driving Before my fixes I drove it till it was almost fumes without an issue. Edited January 18, 2012 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 They there for a reason, do some reasearch ! but don't buy a 3L one if you do get one ,like I did :laff: On a serious note , fishtank time ? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Posted January 18, 2012 On a serious note , fishtank time ? Yeah ok. Fish pump with a fish tank surge tank? Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 A lack of surge tank has to be the issue, would probably start happening around 1/4 tank of fuel with a few corners. Do you know what pump he used in the tank? Perhaps use that to feed the surge tank, add a new pressure pump to the front - problem solved. Or only fill the tank halfway? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Pretty sure its the one pump under the car Matt. I'm assuming you use a pump to the surge tank that pumps slightly more than the main pump therefor the surge is always full? With the obvious return lines etc Or something like that?
