After a brief search, I have yielded conflicting information. just wondering if anyone has a confirmed answer for the following...
From some deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that I NEED to run a surge tank (car will see some serious cornering when finished), as a few people here who have done track work all seem to complain about fuel starvation issues.
So, from what I can gather I need to do the following; Mount surge tank. Filled from stock tank with stock pump. Pumped from surge tank to engine via Bosch 044 or similar, on a constant hotline relay switched from the stock fuel ecu.
Obviously there is a few filters and return lines thrown in as well, but that basically sounds about right does it not?
On a totally different angle, is there any way I could graft the stock fuel level sender into a custom tank? The lads at the shop are hell bent on making me a baffled custom tank, with inbuilt swirl pot. I told them that if I can still use the original fuel gauge in the dashboard I might look at their ideas.

Not so much too hardcore, just I have a list of requirements for the car... 1, I am keeping a full size spare at all times 2, I am keeping the original instrument cluster so need to make sure everything on it is operational 3, I need some form of fuel surge system
To many decisions :/

Ben,
when I converted my carby 12A rotor to a 12A efi turbo I just installed a small surge tank between the tank and the fuel filter. I put mine under the car (due to the hatchback design of the Rx-7 more than anything). The in tank pump filled the surge tank and a second pump provide fuel to the injectors under the required pressure. Power was hard wired to the battery with a relay to a system that goes 'hot' with the ignition switch set to "on".

Now now Matt, Danny's first post. To answer your question, the tank was replaced because it had collapsed and broken the fuel level sender. I'll start another thread for Danny.
