what is my best option to do fuel pump/tank wise with my 1UZ-FE?
for now the engine is going to be run fairly stock....but i'd want a fuel pump that can handle say 300-350rwkw.
i was thinking of just going a VL Turbo pump.
how does this sound??
but i think the VL Turbo's had two fuel pumps...one low pressure and one high pressure....would i need the two...or just the one high pressure one?? i have no idea with this type of stuff!
some ppl say get an in-tank one so you don't need an outside surge tank, now this may sound stupid but i've never worked with fuel pumps etc before but what is this surge tank and how big are they and where can i mount them?! ....i still need to get a fuel tank probly custom made so could prob easily get one with an in-tank surge tank anyway.
but as far as i know an out-of-tank would be easier to work with..
Perhaps an obvious question...Exactly what kind of car ARE you running?
Also, how, BTW, do you intend to get 300-350RWKW from a 1UZ? (Not that it's not possible; more that I'm interested in just what kind of money/mods you intend to throw at it!)
The VL turbo fuel pumps are not suited for what you're after. The std setup on the vl's is an intank pump (the sucker) and the inline pump under the car (the pusher).
I have a pump which you may have seem for sale on these forums which will actually be very well suited for your what your requiring as you need volume.
All the surge tank does is ensure (or help) the removable of air in the fuel line.
From memory the vl (inline) pump only had 2.5bar to offer where as mine is a 5bar one which is one done form the bosch motorsport pump.
what it is going into....an early holden...
classic not plastic.
OOPS : the above is meant to say flywheel kWs!
so with the custom exhaust it should put out about 200, then an aftermarket (prob Autronic) chip, some forced induction, and a good tune.
i think superchargers for them can make 50% hp increase....if i can get that, then there is hopefully at least 250 flywheel kWs....or if i got the extra money...then a turbo.
what is a good in-tank pump then, that would meet the power needs of this beast??
fuel pump for 1UZ-FE ??
