I hope he's still doing stuff like this when I get mine "properly" built! Or maybe I'll just have to drive to TX.

Jay,

No prob. Not sure if I have a datalogit though? Does that come with the Haltech? I'm seeing if Steve can design my fuel system with part numbers, instructions, etc. Hopefully he can do it. The we can install it!

Let me know.

Thanks

Ron
Hey Ron,

Not sure if I could supply P/N or instructions but here it goes. You can get most of the stuff at your local Home Depot and autopart store.



What you need is



8' long fuel line. 7.5mm dia??

1 T fitting with 5/16" press fit (may need to make some kinda adapter to make this work)

1 90 degree bend pipe fitting to go on top of your fuel tank (necessary adapters to tied to the lines.

2 fuel pumps

1 starter relay (60amp+)

8' long 10gwg wire to your battery (to power each pump)

8' long 10gwg black wire for the fuel pump

2' long 8 or 6 gwg wire to tied to those two 10gwg wire.

4' long 8 or 6 gwg black wire for ground

12 hose clamps?



Here is the instruction??



under your car by the fuel tank, you'll see a black canister. Disconnect that canister and you'll see a metal line that run from the front to the back of your car. Use that line as your 2nd fuel line. clean that line throughly to avoid any crap from getting into your fuel system.



Add the fuel line from the end of the metal line to the fuel tank.

Use the hose fitting (with the 90 degree bend) to go into the fuel tank (you'll need to drill a hole for the 90degree fitting).

Inside the tank, zip tied another fuel pump next to your existing fuel pump.

Make sure you have the filter screen for the 2nd pump.

Do all the electrical work needed to wire the pump.

Drill another hole for all the electrical wiring (probably need some rubber groumet to avoid the wiring from grounding out from vibration.)

Tied both positive side of the fuel pump wires to the relay.

Tied the other post of the relay to the positive side of the battery.

To activate the fuel pump, use your existing fuel pump wires to turn the relay on.

Ground the fuel pump to either chassis or battery.

On your engine compartment, replace that rubber line (not fuel line and will burst) from the other end of that metal line with the fuel line (This line will feed to your secondary fuel rail).

Take the existing fuel line that goes to the secondary fuel rail from the fuel pressure regulator and tied it to the end of the T fitting.

Cut the front fuel line that ties between the primary fuel rail and the secondary in half and tied those two lines to the T fitting.

Run that line to your secondary fuel rail.



I think that's it. Hopefully it makes sense??



If you have any questions, let me know and I'll try to help you with it.



Regards,



Steve

i went with full SS braided fuel line..... much harder and more expensive but its worth it!



just a thought. i would try steve's way first and see how it does. judge ito told me when building my car i won't have enough fuel with the stock fuel setup. anyway good luck!

I made 582rwhp using one pump and stock fuel line. I think stock is more than plenty. If you run 1 pump to support everything, you might need to upgrade to a bigger fuel line like a -8 or -10 but stock line is basically a -6 so running two of them parallel to support each fuel rail is more than plenty. This is the cheap way to get what you need. You can also go fancy like you mentioned (paying over $300 for fuel lines and fittings). The thing is that it won't look as stealthy as using stock lines.

you know me. i like bling bling. my setup made 459rwhp @ 15psi untuned! well if you had the option. wouldn't you rather go with a sump and external pump and SS line. no more fuel starvation issues when taking a corner

Not really since I have never seen an external fuel pump lasting more than 15k miles. I guess you might be the first to break that record.
