PeteVRT 22 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Am just after a bit of advise off you guys who have done your own turbo conversions and has probably been asked loads of times. What fuel pump setup is best, I'm only aiming for around 300hp, but hear all sorts of stories. Some have fitted walbro fuel pumps but the ones I have seen seem to be in line pumps or is there one that fits inside the original housing in the tank? If running an in-line is it best to have the original pump running aswell? Or would the standard fuel pump be up to the job? What are you guys running fuel pump wise? Just a bit of advise as its the first time I've looked into it. I will be running an adjustable fuel pressure regulator under bonnet aswelThanksPete Edited February 23, 2014 by PeteVRT Link to post Share on other sites
Russvrt 85 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Il be sending my intank unit to stealth where they can modify it and fit the walbro pump inside,plug and play and capable of good power. Link to post Share on other sites
PeteVRT 22 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 How much do they charge for that? Anybody know how much power the standard pump is good for? I am on a tight budget Link to post Share on other sites

chrisvr6t 19 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Leave it wired up as your original pump will feed the inline pump Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

May be not heavy enough cabling to carry the extra current? Thanks Pete Link to post Share on other sites
