 |
|
My mate told me to put a 7 pound Peter Brock fuel pump from a VB commodore in my gem to get more petrol @ high revs where there wasn't enough. The motor has a bigger cam and a bit shaved off the head, the rest is stock at this point, I want to know if the existing fuel lines will stand up to a 7 pound fuel pump, I don't want to blow my self up.
Thanx. |

Um, the VB pump would probably do it, but instead, why not just fit any one of half a higher capacity 12 volt fuel pumps, facet, holley, fuel miser, etc etc etc...
Go to efi.com.au and have a look at their pumps, you could try the 11003, I will be using a pair of these as lift pumps to fill a surge tank. |

Do you have a sedan with electric pump? If so, these standard pumps support a lot of horsepower, and can be modified easily for more.
I wouldn't waste my time with a different pump. I would guess the standard pump will handle about twice the horepower you are making when running on a full 12V.
Incidently, the standard rubber fuel lines will hold over 50psi, but they are not rated to that pressure. They will hold 7psi no worries though.

| If you've got high rpm starvation, try blocking off return line. Make sure needle and seat are good and float level is correct. |
