fuel line

[USMC_Turbo6]

What size fuel lines are you guys running when you do upgrades to the fuel system? With double pumpers in the tank

 

[TR Custom Parts]

-8 supply / -6 return, used teflon braided on mine.

 

[USMC_Turbo6]

That's what I was thinking. It wouldn't make any sense to upgrade to a -6 feed to -4 return. Waste of time and money right?

Unless you plan on running your car into the 9's, the stock fuel lines with work fine with a double pumper, as we have a few local GN's running low 10's with this set up.

i'm running low 10's wih stock lines and a double pumper

 

[USMC_Turbo6]

The reason I asked is the fuel lines in my car are all F up. I was really taking a hard look at things and I have some places that are some what crushed spot, very rusty places that will break very soon to me. So I want to fix it and be done with it. An have a setup if I want to go into the 9's I have the system done. I want to spend the money one time on it and be done.

If that's the case, replace them with Teflon lines like Mark suggested. Not cheap but they will last a long time and flow as much as you'll ever need.

That's what I ordered got a good deal on it to. A double pumper can handle what hp level?

The one you have will feed a 1,000 hp motor running on gasoline.

turbo 6, .......if you don't mind what is a good deal? and what's expensive? I am putting together a new build and a guy that I trust said new setup needs a better fuel system with the new motor I need to update the fuel system

Your pumps and fuel lines will feed a 1,000 hp motor running on gasoline. Will you be making this kind of power?

I'm going with a modded stock fuel rail that has 2 -8an weld fitting on it to feed it. A -6an fitting in the middl of the U at a 45 degree angle welded on. Running a -8 feed line and -6 return line. Into a Aeromotive 13301 Fuel Pressure Regulator, Y off to feed the front. with a 7mico inline fuel filter

That is AWESOME!

Please let us know of the GN or TR's that have run into the 8's with just an in-tank double pumper?

Maybe they can chime in here to help us poor in-informed owners to tell us what we are doing wrong spending all that $$$$ on our fuel delivery systems?

 

[Boost231]

does Red know you have a thing for him?

So what kind of power will a double pumper support?

 

[Nick Micale]

This local car has run 10.2 on race gas with a double pumper with 2 Walbro pumps on 116 race gas, 75# injectors, and pulled 516 RWHP on e-85 at 23 psi using a TE-45a turbo and 120# injectors.

The data on duty cycle shows just a little more power, and it would be in the critical zone in both cases.

Unlike lots of "information" on this board, we can back up ours with real world testing, time slips, dyno pulls and data logs.

With the info that I have in my signature will the double pumper provide the fuel that is needed to get the best out of the motor? Or do I need to step up on the fuel pump?

The Alky dual alky kit will raise the limits of the double pumper.
