Only time i found out was when it was first tried,, we had all relevent afr equiptment on and it was fine, the thought of one pump dying and running lean worried me and at least if my pump fails the car cuts out


just a thought



ps, loving the car btw, its nice to see the effort thats gone into it, its a credit to ya

I agree, I run just the one Aeromotive as well. Simple and effective

Andy Barnes runs 2 044 pumps on his Skyline and thats been super reliable I believe. VERY fast as well!!!!

Love your car though puddy. Beautifully prepared

Bet it is going to be silly silly fast and feel even faster!

Cheers for the comments,I would have used an aeromotive pump and one -8 feed if i had'nt already bought this stuff from scottie at a very reasonable price!
also,this is a copy of steves old focus fuel system,and that seemed to
go pretty well!

The holley lift pump is one of the biggest flowing pumps, the yanks use them on drag cars to fuel big 4 barrell holleys etc.

used to use a facet red top but this created electrical noise which was annoying cos i like my tunes !!!!!!!shame there noisey in operation!!!

Most of the Drag racers use a Barry Grant or a Magnaflow fuel pumps these day's, on the big motor's. People use the holley pumps for the nitrous fuel system quite alot.

As does Nicolas Kiesa on his 850bhp+ one with no probs, using the standard pump as a lift pump to the swirlpot.
