Fuel sloshes away from the pickup, the pump gulps air for a split second, and fuel pressure drops. At low power you might not notice. At big power that drop can lean out the engine before you lift. Low fuel makes it worse, because there's less fuel to keep the pickup covered. A surge tank fixes this by giving the main pumps their own small reservoir that stays full. A lift pump in the main tank keeps topping up the surge tank, and any extra fuel overflows back to the main tank. The main pumps draw from a tank that's always full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one's built for the far end of the power curve. It holds 5.5 liters, comes with three DW400 pumps, and DeatschWerks rates it for over 2,000 horsepower. Most Honda builds will never get there, even big turbo K-swaps. If you're making 500 whp on a road course car, a smaller surge tank with one or two pumps is the more sensible buy. Where this one makes sense is a serious drag or high-power time attack car, or a build that's going to keep growing and you don't want to buy a fuel system twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStaging: Not Running Every Pump All the Time\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning every pump at full speed all the time is hard on a big fuel system. You're pushing far more fuel than the engine uses at idle, heating up the fuel as it circulates, and asking the regulator to bleed off a huge return flow. A staged setup runs one pump for idle and cruising, then brings in more pumps when the engine actually needs the fuel. You'll need a way to switch on the extra pumps: a relay triggered by boost pressure, RPM, or an output from your ECU. The car stays quieter and the fuel stays cooler on the street, and you still have full flow when you're on boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e3-into-1 Merged Outlet\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNormally three pumps mean three outlets, plus a manifold or a bundle of fittings to join them before the rail. This tank merges all three inside, into a single -10AN ORB outlet. You run one feed line, which means fewer fittings and fewer places to leak. DeatschWerks says the shape of the merge creates a siphon effect that adds more than 10% flow over plumbing the pumps separately. The ORB port has a straight thread, and an O-ring does the sealing, not the threads. That means no thread tape, and nothing tapered to crack if you over-tighten it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWiring for 150 Amps\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree pumps draw a lot of current. The tank uses four M5 stainless terminals rated for 150 amps total, so the power runs through solid studs instead of thin pass-through wires. The rest of the circuit needs to match. Run properly sized power and ground wire, a relay for each pump or pump stage, and fuses sized for the load. Factory wiring isn't even close to enough here. Voltage drop is the quickest way to lose pump output, so keep the wires short and don't skimp on the grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstall Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a universal tank, so expect real fabrication work. You'll need a lift pump in the main tank, a feed line from the main tank to the surge tank, and a return from the surge tank back to the main tank. You'll also need a solid mount, usually in the trunk or the spare tire well. If it's mounted inside the cabin or trunk, seal off that area from the driver and vent it properly. Check your sanctioning body's rulebook before you design the plumbing, too. Plan the -10AN feed and your return line sizes before you start buying fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal: requires custom mounting and plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires a lift pump in the main fuel tank (not part of this listing's included components)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed: single -10AN ORB outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003eUniversal for Honda\/Acura Applications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"DeatschWerks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":69661321986082,"sku":"DTW-6-401-55ST","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/32671651.jpg?v=1793996620","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/deatschwerks-55l-staged-surge-tank-with-pumps","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
