Right hand turn fuel starvation fix: Stillen or CJ Motorsports

dpmdc · 05-07-2013, 07:23 AM

Does the Stillen fuel pump that comes with their supercharger kit fix the problem that the CJ Motorsports fuel pump addresses? I am interested in a car that already has the SC kit installed.

NO..

The only in Tank solution is CJ Motorsport product.

The fix is... keep the fuel tank above half full if you are going to drive "spirited".

Problem solved.

Do the '13 have the same issue?

Yes. The fuel starve problem is a result of the fuel tank design. As far as I know the tank design has not changed at all therefore fuel starve is still a problem.

Before I bought my '12, I had test driven an '09 and experienced fuel starvation when I took an on-ramp to the freeway. If I recall correctly, there were about 2 LEDs showing on the fuel gauge on that car.

I have not experienced this with my '12 and have taken the fuel level lower than 2 LEDs. I don't know if there has been a change to the fuel tank in response to that issue, but in the year+ I've had my car, it hasn't demonstrated the fuel starvation issue (yet).

Maybe Nissan has changed the pump?

Inside of the '12 is the same. There is no change from Nissan

no, they removed the fuel tank as they did the steering lock.

Let me drive it and I'll starve it in no time flat. I starved mine in only 5 laps from full at the Circuit of the Amercias.

and I starved mine at 1 dot from full at Road America in the carousel!
