Accelerated Performance's Fuel System Fix for the BRZ/FRS/GT86

[nix]

What do you think about another pickup on the other side, or using a pump to equalise the 2 sides without going return?

I think its pretty safe to say i'm the only one daily driving around at 600hp unless someone wants to prove me otherwise!

Well, Visconti's posted number of 250whp is pretty low. A lot of stage1 kits hit this number.

@SmsAlSuwaidi @Visconti: thanks guys.

So let me just wrap my mind around it: it looks like the problem has been noticed before but no one besides Don cared to dig down to the root cause either ignoring the problem or hacking ecu with injector open time hoping this is good enough to keep fuel flowing. Did I get this right?

I understand the smaller shops may not have had enough resources, but the big game players' extensive R&D and claimed cumulative mileage with the cars running their kits - were all their tests and claimed cumulative testing mileage done on full tank and/or dyno running only? Sorry for raving, still trying to get this into my head

@250whp he's referring to the guys that SCCA or Road Race having those issues.

We had that issue last year and kept writing it off as a software issue or ABS or Traction Control kicking on.

I didn't look into the the issue until I had a fuel volume problem for the HP. If you kept a full tank always, I doubt you'd have that issue because fuel floods through the top of the plastic housing.

yeah, sorry again. I'm just seeing recommendations for big name's FI kits because they are supposedly have been extensively tested and proved themselves... yet shops like AP (kudos to Don) are truly the ones testing the limits.

Seems like it would be easier to replace the gas tank. And Remove the hump

or if space allows it, connect both sides underneath with a fat enough hose/pipe and let gravity do its job. although that would cover only side-to-side issue

or mid-engined . i thought what he meant tho was making custom tank with possible relocation. doubt tho it would be easier than a 3 pump setup

If I recall right there is a member on here.
He has a video of a particular corner set where he's floggin through.
Had the same symptom almost every time in that particular spot.
Don't know if they figured it out but, ABS, TCS, and/or VSS was their assumed perp.
He was Stock Power.

We ever find this video?

Don here is the Thread about the issue: Engine cutting power after hard cornering...

Anyone have a picture or diagram of the stock fuel tank? Curious to see how its shaped
