Fuel - Do l use JDM tank, Mod ADM one or Fuel Cell to handle 4AGTE now

[Mirko]

Have a 1985 ae86 which previous owner started doing conversion to 4AGZE. Dropping the super charger and using car for track so was wondering if l should waste my time moding the existing tank to handle EFI or get a jap one or just go straight to fuel Cell. Will be driving on street a little as well so keen to find options that reduce smell like tanks built under the car etc

Was wanting advice and suggestions and if anyone has done the fuel cell option who did it for them am based in syd

Easiest solution is to buy a jap tank and use that.. works a treat.

Otherwise under car surge tank ajps sells works good too with a lift pump in the tank.

Or mod the ADM tank.

They all work, unless u are putting out crazy hp you won't need to do too much to the fuel setup.

Have a surge tank from az customs was thinking that with a lift pump and thats done then. Like the idea of the fuel cell as seems cleaner solution for track and later a targa. Not chasing huge around 200kw for now

have a look at my technical article on this might suit your needs and found it to be really cost effective

Saw that dude great write up. Question was more around the sense of it. As since its a track focus l dont mind spending the little extra if need be for a fuel cell and running e85

fuel cell will probably affect resale value if you ever go down that route. unless the car is track only due to defects. simplest solution would be to use a jap tank and that will eliminate the need for a surge tank and lift pump. but it not too hard to throw a lift pump on the adm tank and feed a surge tank to bosch 040 pump.

For what it's worth, I used to run factory fuel lines and just a VL Turbo fuel pump mounted under the fuel tank for my old 4AGTE. Didn't have any surging issues at all, so long as the tank was above 1/4 full.

Sure it isn't the 'best' option, but it certainly served it's purpose.

No car can be rego'd no problems. Needs to have surge for track. Might just use adm one and lift pump as well and if need be can always go all out after thanks for thoughts guys

[Mirko]

on a side note panel guy is making progress. Guard pumped and now under prep

Might pay to do the "final" solution now that will exceed your future needs. Fuel cells imo aren't that expensive
