Thanks

thanks for the bump guys! i actually am at the shop right now we have been testing and tuning the return siphon. We are very happy with the results.
Our adjustments to the siphons main jet allowed our minimum steady fuel pressure at idle to be about 36psi, that should be low enough for anyone. After making that adjustment, we tuned the siphon venturi to transfer 1 gallon of fuel every 48 seconds. This is much faster then required to keep the passenger side (pump side) full until the drivers side has cleared. We actually were able to make it transfer even faster, but we found that it had a strong negative effect on the siphons ability to draw a vacuum after the siphon line was filled with air and then reintroducted to fuel.
This fuel is being dropped directly into the surge tank that houses the pumps. As if that wasnt far more fuel then the pumps would ever need, the surge can is also filled via 2 primary siphons on the underside of the canister. Each primary siphon was transfering fuel from under the canister faster then the return siphon. Basically, we have 3 awesome sources of fuel filling up that internal surge can, and of course the can is not sealed at the top so its constant overflow goes into the tank surrounding the surge can, and then it will be pulled back in again through the siphons on the bottom.
Now we just need to mount the level sensor and do a little real world testing just to make sure that nothing changes from our measurements on the test bench.

no it does not, the stock filter is molded into the plastic assembly and cannot be removed or retained. there is a stainless mesh to prevent large particles from being taken into the can by the primary siphons, and then there are are the pumps inlet filters that all pumps have, and that is it. For small micron filtration, an external filter will be required. There just is not enough room to have 2 pumps and a filter inside the canister.
sweet, as always your an pioneer. i wished I had more spare time to tackle some of what you have.
Do you feel this will flow enough for 700-800 rear wheel power?
when you have your findings report back.
Thanks
Ryan

It really should flow enough for that and more. If a single walbro has no problem flowing more than half of that, then I don't see why 2 couldnt hit those numbers. Its going to depend on how well flowing the rest of your system is and if it can support this much flow. I know that our S2 system with 1/2" stainless pipe and -8 to twin -6 can support two pumps, as we originally intended it to a couple years ago when we made the system, as we knew we were heading this direction eventually. So yes, as long as the rest of the plumbing in the car can support it, 700-800rwhp should be no issue.
thanks for the props. within a few weeks we should have some proof of its flow on a great car - but personally im already sold after our bench testing.

I'll be the 1st one on a group buy,
1. Carlitos (CJ stage 2 upgrade to 3)
2.
Hey Charles, this is carlos the owner of the red G35 of Puerto Rico, nice to see that you still have time to come up with a great product, I will be very much interested in this product as you can see I want to hit the 700whp that my fellow friend Carlitos hit with his G, currently hiting 630whp need the flow of gas to reach 700+ my goal close to 750whp with out NOS.
hope you can contribute
carlos
