I promise to nicer if you promise to be smarter.
Kooks Headers,

72lb/hr injectors

Three Walbro 255LPH/HP fuel pumps.

Now if the engine would be done, so I can get things rolling already! ugh.
At least the rotating assembly shipped this monday, should be here by the end of the week.

So are all three of those fuel pumps going into one car?
 
Christmas in April Yippee!!
Are you running the headers as they are or will you have them coated?
 
lucky duck you....yea are those pumps all goin in the caR?
 
Wow, with 72's and the fuel pump flowage you will have I am guessing your trying for 800+rwhp with whatever car those go into. I would guess it is not a big turbo because of the pretty longtubes that dont want to be cut up, so what the hell you got planned? A Procharger F-1A, Vortech YS trim? :cool:
 
Couple questions:

1. Those look like in-tank pumps - so are you going to have something fabricated to make them work with the stock tank? (Which would be cool)
2. I imagine the 72 lb/hr injectors are low impedance, so unless you are running a FAST or something, are you building a resistor pack to make them work with the stock ECU?
3. Who will be fabricating your exhaust for you, and what are your plans for it? (I know some people if you need suggestions)

Cool stuff.

All three pumps are going in the same car. They will be in-tank, and the fab work will be done by Rick's Rod Shop in Tx.

I got the fuel pumps from fuel-pumps.net, about 1 buck and 1/4 each, IIRC.
Very friendly people there, and they seemed to know what they were talking about... even though they failed to mention to me the pumps wouldn't be shipped for about a week because they didn't have them in stock until they charged my credit card.

The injectors are HIGH Impedance, so I won't need to run an aftermarket ECU. Wouldn't want to, anyways. I fear too many subsystems tie into the Stock ECU, and damn it, I want all of the Mark VIII gadgets to work! :lol:

The exhaust will bo done by a local guy who's done the exhaust on my vehicles for the past 4, almost 5 years.

As far as what I have planned for the car... that's still a major uber secret.

A couple of people here, who have been kind enough to impart their expertise, and have assisted me with little tidbits of info and know-how know about the project, and will get due credit when the car will be done.
 
Damn, that's cool. I didn't even know 72 lb/hr high impedance injectors existed. Good info for when I put a power-adder on my 'boat anchor'. :D

Curious though, why three pumps? Two of those pumps should be able to flow more than those 72s could ever spray into the engine...

Is your exhaust gonna be neato TIG-welded stainless? It turns a beautiful shade of gold/blue/purple when it gets hot. :D

Thats kinda what I was thinking.



Frogman, you must be planning to make some insane power if your setting up a fuel system like that! Lets just hope ya got the brakes (or parachute) to slow ya down on the far end of the 1320. ;)
 
I think it is likely very much overkill. You may actually want to consider running a larger return line than the one I spec'd out for you because you'll be returning a sh!tload of fuel to the tank, and it will probably make regulating fuel pressure a little easier. Plus, the additional heat and aeration (foaming) in the fuel from (although probably negligible) from being sucked through the pumps and returned to the tank so much may have some negative effect.

Case in point - Steve Cole in Tucson ran three Walbro GSL392's (inline 255s) on his 1047 rwhp twin turbo 337 pushrod motor. To add to this mania, he was running 160 lb/hr injectors, and E85, which required something like 40% more fuel volume than gasoline. This was at 30 psi.

If you want to be "better safe than sorry", I would have the adapter built for three pumps, but just leave on 'slot' empty unless you need it - which I don't think you will at this point. If you ever do end up needing it, just drop the tank, and put the extra pump in there. :D

Just my .02

Paul.
 
One step ahead of you, Paul. Ray is making me a nice relay kit, and I spec'd one of the pump power sources with a switch. ;)

I will get in touch with you about that return line next week. This weekend, I'm off to Va for a funera...errr Wedding.

Thanks guys. You know who you are.
 
Damn, you're one clever motherfu... er uh, clever guy. :D

Awesome. Let me know if I can help any further. :)
