I've been running the stock injectors and fuel pump on my PimpX 88 TC for about a year now and it's time to turn it up. I have gnari's turbo kit on there and I'm maxing the stock injectors at only 13 psi of boost. I'm going to upgrade the entire fuel system (because I can't keep it simple with anything on this car) and this is what I have planned:
- 15 gallon fuel cell w/ sending unit (mounted in trunk)
- -8an fuel line for the feed throughout car
- Walbro 255lph external pump
- 100 micron fuel filter (pre pump)
- 10 micron fuel filter (post pump)
- Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator
- Stinger Fuel Rail
- -6an fuel line for the return
- 60 or 80lb injectors (probably 80's for my power goals)
I know the purist are freaking out looking at this list but there is nothing stock on my car (vacuum assist brakes, sn95 mustang coilover suspension, manual steering, gnari turbo kit, etc. etc.) and this is what I want to do. I have some questions though and any help would be appreciated:
1. In regards to fuel line: could something like Aeroquip's socketless line be used? I'm going to give them a call but I'm curious if anyone here has had any personal experience with it. I like it more than the normal braided line for the ability to tell when the line is starting to deteriorate.
2. Wiring in the new pump: is there any special wiring in this new pump or can I just splice it into the factory pump wiring?
3. Fuel filters: I see mixed opinions on fuel filters, their size, and how many to have. I'm thinking of a 100 micro before the pump, after the tank and a 10 micro after the pump, before the FPR. Any thoughts?
Any other suggestions, warnings, things to look out for, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
