MrMeanGreen Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Due to unforeseen circumstances, a friend from COFBA has had to back out of my fuel pump install. Unfortunately, I can no longer keep putting this off as Norwalk is coming up and I still have injectors and tuning left to do. I need a hand installing my fuel pump, it's a Walbro 340m 255lph in-tank. However, I will be going at it from the top and creating an access panel. It's the actual pump wiring and physical modding I'll need assistance with, as well as the moral support I'm looking at doing this next weekend, and help would be greatly appreciated. I'll supply beer and food, and you can have the pride of knowing you've helped my car into the 10s For reference: http://www.taekwondoplus.org/z28/fuelpump.html Seriously, please consider this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call on cutting a hole to get to the pump, I'd love to do this to customers cars but I think they'd get mad. Anyway I'm down to help if you guys want. This going on at your place Anthony?

mkent93 Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 anthony, i recommend dropping the tank and then installing it. you'll have as much time pulling back the carpet cutting the hole (without hitting the tank) and getting it all back in nicely as it would take to just drop the rearend a bit and pull the tank out. i assume you have aftermarket exhaust? if the intermediate pipe is 2-piece, that makes the job less time consuming.

smokin5s Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Ant, let me know if this was done or not... honestly yanking the tank from the top is easy and only takes a few hours. 97z, dude, I don't know what you're talking about? dropping the tank is a HUGE PITA.... you have to drop the rear and all... deffinately cut the access panel... with a dremel, it can be done pretty quickly.

mkent93 Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 i wouldn't mind seeing it done from the top. if i didn't have a softball tournament, i'd be all about giving you an extra hand. btw, you said you're trying to get this done for norwalk...if it's an fbody meet, could one of you link me to more info?

Joe and I did mine in probably 2 hours. and I've had to open it up a hand full of times and it takes roughly 5 min's to get access to the fuel pump now. As far as pulling carpet, you just have to pull it back some... no big deal... I have pictures if you would like me to post them.. Here is the link to our Norwalk Event. If you are not a member of COFBA, I would suggest registering... it is our local F-Body Club and is a great club to be a member of... http://www.cofba.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=000262 http://www.cofba.org is the link to our club board.

MrMeanGreen Posted September 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Mike and Dave came over tonight and gave me a hand removing the pump assembly and making an access panel. All that's left is modding the bracket to fit the pump and reinstalling everything. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon it will be running again smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted September 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Originally posted by iwishiwascool: *fixedLol, I wish. Injectors tomorrow afternoon, then hopefully a rudimentary tune for them until I can get it on the dyno. BTW, the COFBA Norwalk has been changed to a Saturday if you're interested.

MrMeanGreen Posted September 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Pump is installed and working well. 61psi cruising and at idle, 54-56psi at WOT pushing 6500 RPMs at boost. 50# injectors and tuning tomorrow smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 injectors are cakey, and i would have helped, but you got it done ahead of schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted September 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Injectors are in, tuning is negligible. These injectors use a strange offset curve that we had to find a custom map table for. Unfortunately, the map was found after the tuning was done for the night. Should be up and running better by the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
