Fuel Starvation Problem Solved?
 
To begin with, I have no association with Integrated Engineering whatsoever.

With that said, I was perusing the latest Grassroots Motor Sports and saw their ad for a 100% universal surge tank. Of course I was immediately curious if this could solve our fuel starvation issues. I shot them an email asking if this unit would work on a 370Z.

This was their response:

Our surge tanks are designed to be completely universal. You will need to find a place to mount it, whether it be under the car, in the rear of the car, or in the engine bay. You will need to adapt your fuel lines to the surge tank. This can easily be done with a few -6an fittings and hose barb adapter fittings. You will not need to modify the fuel tank in any way.

You will need to run the factory feed line from the fuel tank into the surge tank, and run a return line from the surge tank back to the factory fuel tank (you can use the factory return line). You will also need a return line from the fuel rail to the surge tank.


I am pretty handy when it comes to mechanical issues, but the whole gasoline ( and resulting fire…)thing scares me a little. Maybe one of you more expert guys can install this thing and post a DIY.

Here is the web site Integrated Engineering Submerged 044 Billet Surge Tank WITH PUMP

I saw those too. I'm also scared of playing with fuel. :P What do their surge tanks cost? The site appears to be down at the moment. Definitely worth a look.

I thought the z has a returnless system no?

I just shot an email to Integrated asking if the surge tank requires modification on a returnless fuel system.

I thought one of the vendors on here was working on one?

Season here starts in a bit over a month now... Time to work on the car is getting shorter and shorter.

Cossie is right. You would need to convert to a return system with a mod such as AAM's.

Total cost would be $660 for the return system and $469 for the surge tank.
