Cheapest/easiest fuel pump set up for 800hp?

[Bruizer]

Hey guys so im approaching the end of my build and i have left the fueling for the end lol. so i plan on running id 1000cc injectors with the powerhouse fuel rail but i am unsure of what i want to do with my fuel pump set up. i am looking to make 600-700hp and i dont know of any single pump that can supply that much fuel. so what is the easiest/cheast way to ger enough fuel for say 750whp?

You're building 700whp (close to 900crank) forget about cheap, I'd hate to see failures cause of a cheap fuel setup... You've got 30k+ into that car, fuel is one of the things you don't cheap out on.

Aeromotive A1000 will flow that easily. Some work to install but the shop building that high power car will know what to do. Nice build!

thanks guys for all the imput but i got it all figured out. going with a surge tank fed by my stock gtr pump then a inline aeromotive a1000 and a inline filter will all braided feed and return lines to my rail. should do the job!

what size lines?

and what fpr?

That's exactly what I am replacing my twin in-tank Tomei's with. Cost me all of $400 for the 4L pot and the A1000. I second the aluminum hard lines over braided, they will weigh less than half and if you beleive rumours on the internet, you won't have any fuel smell. They will cost 1/3 of what braided will with all the fittings and extra crap you will have to buy.

So I'm at this same crossroad now. My wee tomei pump isn't gonna get me the fuel I want. I dread the thought of the day one of the twins fail (cause they all eventually do though not at the same time)

So the guys running big powerful singles, what did you do to remedy the heat problems? According to some places, a big pump like that can cycle the whole tank (on a return system) in less than 12 mins so we're talking lots of heat. Anyone running speed controllers?
What about line sizes? An A1000 uses -10s but most rails use -6, so what did you guys do for lines? Run a -10 and split to -6s?

And finally noise, any boxes or rubber mounts?

Anyone try the A1000 in tank pump?

Stock in-tank (or whatever you have in there) feeding a surge tank with 2x smaller pumps or 1x bigger one is the easiest/best way to do it IMO.

The a1000 is loud there is no way getting around that. The heat isnt too bad though. im running -10 feed and -8 return lines.


little messy but simple and effective none the less

Anyone running an A1000 should use the speed controller.

Pump will last longer and less chance of vapor locking the pump due to hot fuel.

I have a swirl pot lined up but am trying to decide on the output pumps, whether 2x 044s (scary) or 1x A1000 (yeah, the pump controller is a must but I can't find a usuable RPM output from the ecu to control the PWM yet....

[NismoS-tune]

Anyone use of hear about the Weldon 1100A? Supposedly it's superior in every way that the A1000 fails at...

Honestly I don't think it matters which pumps you run out of the surge tank. Every one has seen "X" pump die on their best friends dogs neighbors car. Buy what you want.

I run 2x Bosch 909's
260lph free flow
Had one personally fail on me, caused no problems, bought the same pump again and still like em.

Well said! I think I'll go with the single. Can't chance leaning out on twins.

There is some debate but would there be enough flow if someone would want to keep the stock hard lines? Another thing I'm wondering is if 2 tomei fuel pumps in tank would be enough? If I do go with a larger setup I would rather do in tank unless there are extreme benefits from the swirl pot...? Definitely won't be considering this for a while but would like to know what I should be looking at

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

The swirl pot means you have a buffer zone from fuel sloshing back and forth and risk having the fuel pump not having enough fuel to suck up. The Tomei is an awesome pump, but if you are going with a swirl pump set up I'd go with an out tank setup with Walbro or Bosch pumps. 800hp is an incredible amount of power, and not needed (and a disadvantage) for the tracks in Ontario. A nice, responsive setup with 500-600hp would perform far better and be tons cheaper.

Sorry just realized the OP was not from Ontario, my bad
