when to get fuel pump

[djrenok]

So now im installing a Garrett t04e with RC 550's, DO i need to upgrade my fuel pump at this point or can stock pump handle enough???

 

[Matt.]

Stock pump can handle it, but when you do to get tuned to make some good numbers you'll want that extra fuel the stock pump is robbing the injectors.

 

[djrenok]

i can get one for 87 right now. i think i might do it. is the install easy??

 

[djrenok]

yeah this will robb my injectors, as well as my pockets ......does this push to much fuel for a daily driver???

 

[djrenok]

what are u guys running for pumps??? Stock or what.....I am looking to run 15 psi daily driver. 300-380 whp in that range...... will i seriously need the walbro pump or can i upgrade it later down the rd or something, im getting everything ready for next wed to get everything installed. if i need to get the fuel pump i would need to order today.

stock pumps max around by 250whp and thats pushing it. just spend the measly $100 and get a walbro 255, install is easy.

 

[djrenok]

yeah ill do that, its cheap on ebay.

 

[djrenok]

just ordered Walbro 255 pump w/ install kit for 80 shipped.......Got a good deal on that!!! 10% cuz im good like that

[djrenok]

hmm...if you got the high pressure your going to have to get a FPR to raise your fuel pressure....

 

[djrenok]

I have a un-open Blox fuel pressure regulator.......but can i use that on my stock fuel rail??? and how will i tell the pressure, will i need a guage for that also??

about the running the walboro with stock everything else question, It would work like stock, its regulated some how, I can't remember right now, I think the injectors, not sure.

Yes you can run a high pressure Walbro with stock FPR but you have to drill a .035, iirc, hole at an angle on the regulator. There is a write up on hmt I believe.
