Twin Bosch 044 Fuel Pumps Plumbing

Can anyone please offer some input on plumbing high pressure side when running 2x044 pumps?

Found a kit in Usa 034 Motorsport at 50 or so but its pricey once postage and duty paid, over here its upwards of 130 for a twin pump rail and couple of banjo bolts!

Am i right in thinking it will work out cheaper and just as good to use some 13mm ID braided fuel hose with necessery AN fittings?

I am sure hose and AN fittings can be bought for less then 50?

Any input welcome

 

Aeroquip fittings are very expensive, example 90 degree bends are circa 15 each so probably not less than 50

 

Fair point, i need 4 fittings. However other makes on market nearly as high quality at half price

Any pics anyone?

 

You say that, but I used some other types and they were poor quality tbh.

I too am interested in the dual pump setup, I would have thought it would have been fine to install it as you mention in your first post

 

Y piece is what I use on ibiza
my -8 and -6 fittings cost a small fortune

speedflow fittings

 

Are you on -8 size main feed between pumps and fuel rails Bill or -6?

 

Its for EFI. Just to clarify its for high pressure outlet side of pumps in case there is cofusion

 

Cheers John, it seems like a cheaper alternative! I'v just been on the phone to Speedflow and gota price for fittings required..... 148 delivered! Bit pricey that i'd say

 

Come to think of it there will be fair amount of pressure

As its a raising rate fuel pressure regulator and i will be running 3.5-4 Bar static pressure with boost i may see up to 6 Bar!

Thats K-jet teritory

 

-8 feed, -6 return to swirl pot

 

not got a pic to hand but try earls for the fixings, i had to get the Y piece from USA, only place i could find it, i ordered it from Summit,

 

There's an Earls at Silverstone, I used them for my car. www.earls.co.uk.
Silverstone - 01327 858221.
They also have a branch in Devon according to my invoice.

 

Thanks lads i will try them

 

my Y piece came from speedflow in bristol

 

Earls quoted me around 80 today, not to bad i thought!

 

Find me some 18mm ( or 16mm) double banjos?

Firstly. Why is this thread in "Turbocharged, Supercharge and Nitro"? As it equally applies to K-Jet, ITBs and Carbs!

Easy to find lots of 12mm double banjos!

But find me some 18mm doubles for the input end!?!?

I have a design using 16mm doubles opened out, but these are also hard to find



The second pump is just a basic 044 back-up!

This is the design using solder fittings, but even the manufacturers, SIHN, don't have any in the factory.

They wil make me 1000 though!
