Fuel System Setup

[LTHLRB]

Hey guys i am thinking of going for the 044 external fuel pump with a surge tank and braided lines, would i need a lift pump?

Also people who have the in boot fuel systems can you post pix and give me your opinion on it.

Thanks

use the stock pump as a lift pump, into a surge tank and then the 040 from there on.

i have a tomei 500hp in tank pump right now...

yeah well use that to feed to the surge tank, and the 044 to feed from the surge tank to the engine.

Just some advice; if youre going to use braided lines, use the teflon lined Earls braid to remove any fuel smell from the cabin or boot. Its more expensive but its worth it. Im not sure how (or why) the bubber lined braid seeps the fuel smell, but it definately does. Ive used the teflon stuff and its gold!

yeah fuel smell is a big problem.. mine is pretty bad, but thats due to not boxing the system yet.

if i was you, sell the tomei pump, drop a std one back in there as a lift pump..

also its common for the std wiring to not like running the kind of amps that the fuel pumps require..

my suggestion is to use the existing feed to power a relay that has direct power from your battery. gives better voltage at the pump which keeps flow rates up.

040 is an internal pump
