Originally posted by xtrickedeclipsex Ok, this is prob this most n00b question... I was talking with my mechanic today (who is doing my custom turbo kit) and were talking about my fuel set up… He was telling me that he was going to hook up my fuel pump to a switch, so when I boost over like 6 psi I could turn it on, and safely boost….and when im not, turn it off.. How does that work???…Is it an inline pump or whatever, and that’s how you can turn it on and off while still getting fuel? What’s the difference between an inline fuel pump, and an in take fuel pump. How do they work???? One more thing…. He is having trouble finding a FPR that will work, I have an OBX Fuel rail, and it has a return line at the end, he was thinking about using a regular vortec FPR and opening that return line and making it that way(like a gst would be set up), will that be just as effective ? Im on 310’s .
ok let me stop laughing after that 1st question, oh my god i was rolling on the floor when i read that! are you sure you wanna have your "mechanic" do your system, because that is the most stupidist thing i ever heard. why the hell would he wanna put a swtich on your fuel pump...to save on gas? you need constant hi fuel pressure weather you feel like boosting or not. if let's say you don't run the HI flow fuel pump, and you start boosting, you'll get lean conditions since you're not delivering adequate fuel volume to your injectors. what turbo system do you have BTW? i can't really answer your 2nd question since Hahn and Star kits have different setups.you have either the Cartech FMU or the Vortech FMU 12:1 disk.i believe you're better off installing the kit on your own than having someone that thinks he knows what he's doing playing around what he doesn't know. we can help you step by step here.
