only a year and a half for me, so you win

What about maybe an Aeromotive 1000....that push enough fuel?

Perhaps it would have saved me some heartache and cash if I had gone that route too. Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way how to properly get the pump right.

what volume/pressure@volt is that Racetronix rated for, how much are they, and where's the cheapest place to get them?

SpyhunteR · 07-19-2008, 03:06 PM

www.racetronix.com first link on the left hand side.. LS1 fuel pump for plastic tanks. Inside that shiny racetronix cover is a walbro pump. I made it fit into my tank w/ very lil shoving. The wiring was all plug-n-play for me. Then the extra power line I took and ran it to the battery. It ruled. I was happy.

So just install the Walbro 255lph that I have already from ZZPerformance? I thought you had something different with higher capability.

Got a 3400? Have fun making your manifolds! It really is a pretty fun project. A bit of a money pit though.

My car is already turbocharged...made my own tubular manifolds after upgrading from the stock manifolds, you can take a look yourself if you search my threads, I've had my car boosted for over a year now

Only modifications I should need to do to accommodate the turbo is remove my old T3 flange and weld in a T4 flange, and I plan to upgrade to a less restrictive 3" mandrel downpipe

I've also been doing this build on a slight budget, trying to keep everything under $3000, so far so good, if I can make it I'll be quite pleased

You should see the inlet on the turbo he has on now.

Turbine comparison:

17cm^2 T4 vs .48A/R? T3

... holset turbines use 'critical area' as a measurement to gauge turbine size.

That T3 is a bit smaller turbine than he has on now but you get the idea.

BlackJack · 08-07-2008, 12:21 AM

very impressive.....??!!??

Shock24Z · 08-07-2008, 12:41 AM

Dunno, haven't seen it in action.
