Fuel pump upgrade
Well this morning I set about swapping my fuel pump set up over. Nice easy job to be fair.
Taking out the standard single pump and cradle to exchange it for a twin in tank pump set up. This new set up is capable of supporting 980bhp so plenty for once I have built my engine

Re: Fuel pump upgrade
What about the main pump? Are you leaving that standard?

Re: Fuel pump upgrade

Mind Sharing some more details on the setup ??
Re: Fuel pump upgrade
RS Components sell lots of milspec connectors. I considered using some of them when I built my boat, but it was hard to justify the cost difference. Some of the 30 way ones I was looking at were mental money.

Re: Fuel pump upgrade
Will Rene rebuild the motor?
Being in Holland, I have that idea in my head for some distant future.

Re: Fuel pump upgrade
Today I finished off my dual in-tank fuel pump set up. Running both the outlet hoses down to where the secondary fuel pump is/was housed. Then into a 3 way connection to a new bigger fuel filter then onto the standard under car fuel line.
Running this dual fuel pump setup means I no longer require the external fuel pump. So I have removed all this and replaced everything in that area with just one bigger fuel filter.
