DTM Brian Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 I already have 42 pound injectors to replace my 36#'s For my combo, 36's are good for 540 rwhp and the 42's are good for 620 rwhp. I am shooting for 600 rwhp and 670 torque. How much of a fuel pump do I need for this? With a new intake and 13 psi. I should be there.

MrMeanGreen Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Walbro 307 lph in-tank should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20G TSi Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Personally, I wouldnt use an intank, unless it came with a new pickup/return (like the ford motorsport 190lph does). The stock intank pickup is only 3/8". Just attaching a high flow pump to the stock pickup could cause problems with a forced induction/600+ hp combo. I would (I did) use a cartech intank pickup with -8an pickup and -6an return and a exterior pump (paxton/holley, etc.). Are you upgrading the fuel lines as well? You can get a 25' coil of aluminum -8 hardline for about $20. If you use stainless steel fittings instead of the blue/red colored aluminum fittings, you'll save a shitload.

Renner Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 You could also run twin in tank walbro 255 HO pumps, like these: http://www.columbusracing.com/pics/jeff/VR4pics/fuelpump5.jpg http://www.columbusracing.com/pics/jeff/VR4pics/fuelpump2.jpg Two -6 lines Tee into one main -10 feed line to the rails, a -8 would be plenty large though. At the rails the -10 main feed Tee's off into two seperate -6 lines again to feed both rails in parallel, not series like stock setups. A -8 is used for the return with a -8 bulkhead fitting drilled into the top of the tank. You would not have any problem with moving enough fuel with these, I believe we moved 2 gallons every 51 seconds in an unloaded flow test. In tank pumps last longer in a street car since they stay cooler. You will have to do a bit of fab work to make a good mount for them, but it's not that bad, the 255 HO's use their own pickup also as you can see in the second pic, but you will need to use a separate bulkhead fitting for the return line since I am sure the stock return will be too small.

Science Abuse Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 here's a queestion. How many of you bought a fuel pump from some company, like BBK or FRPP, etc, only to find that its not that companies pump, but a Walbro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosch and Walbro, they're just marketed under different names. From my understanding, the Bosch is a higher quality pump.

slow4now Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 I agree,from everything I have read/heard the Bosch is a higher quality unit than the Walboro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renner Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 Yes, many are just repackaged, notice the BBK package in the background of the second pic? We picked those up at Jegs for pretty cheap actually, they are really the Walbro 255 HO's. I don't remember the actual BBK part # though, but I could probably dig it up in Jeff's garage... One good thing about twin pumps, if one dies, you still have another to make it home on. We actually had the car running on only 1 pump for a while on low boost, because it was creating too much fuel pressure at the rails with both pumps, until we could get the return line fixed. I think that Bosch is a little bit better pump, but so far the Walbro's have seemed great, the Bosch is more expensive though I believe, and I don't think that they are as small as the Walbro pumps, making it a bit more difficult to fit 2 in one tank.

slow4now Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 The Bosch fuel pumps are almost twice the size of a Walboro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Holley makes a couple race electric fuel pumps if you're in the market for one, 500GPH and 350GPH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
