:lol: good thinkin, i knew it wasn’t true anyways :snky:
Checked it out at lunch, super cool.
And the cage… thats how a cage should be done. Unlike some of the super hacky shit Ive seen lately.

Starting as early as next week, we should be able to start putting together the car. This would include the stock mivec motor with 44k on it, my built Bushwacker transmission, Exedy triple disk clutch, AWD motorsports aluminum driveshaft, Driven Innovations intake manifold, Buschur intercooler piping and Tial BOV, my ported Evo 9 manifold and turbo, etc…
I am starting to look at fuel systems, and this is what was on the car before:
I am hoping I can replicate this without breaking the bank. The fuel cell in this image is a 4 gallon, but I will probably get a larger one, maybe an 8 or 10 gallon cell, so that I can drive to and from the track. An A1000 should do the job?
–mark
a1000 would do the job but i think a couple bosche 044’s would do it with higher pressure ratings no? whats the max pressure of a a1000 pump?
I am not sure. This car will see 40 psi at some point in it’s life, so I want to at least plan ahead for that. The pictured pump is a Weldon 2035, which is $900. I am hoping to not have to buy that one 
ohh yeah! :tspry:
Cant wait to see this!
do twin 044’s if you’re going to be maxxing high pressure. I did a bunch of snooping around when I was putting my fuel system together and it seemed the a1000 just couldn’t keep up with 2x044’s under high boost+4bar situations.
It says the A1000 is good for 90 psi, with a base pressure of 40 - 45, I would never see a problem running up to that 90.
That tow vehicle is hott
It’s about the flow at that pressure.
Then the fact that you can buy 2x044’s nearly for the price of an a1000. Granted, you’ll probably really only need 1 044, i dunno. You’d have to figure out fuel requirements on your own.
A1000 flow chart:
“For long term driving applications where continuous run times exceed 30
minutes and fuel capacity is less then 10 gallons, Aeromotive recommends the
installation of a pump voltage control module, Aeromotive p/n 16302.”
Sounds like not the best choice for a “street” car. I think Im with Hanszel and turbociv. Go for the dual Bosch pumps.
EDIT: oops… missed Hanszel’s post , page 3 > me

How would you wire those up, they are “inline” pumps, but look like in tank. Just hook up some AN fittings just like the A1000, and treat them the same, or are they a totally different style?
I believe they are M18 inlet and M12 outlet. You would just need adapters.
Dan
worrd.
Siqqq, talking to Dan on aim, I think we decided:
2 lines out of the cell into filters, then Y those connections into 1 Bosch 044 pump
That will then run up to the rail
or…
1 line out of the cell (cap the second one off for now), then filter, pump, rail
The benefit to using 2 filters and 2 lines out of the cell is that once I go to 2 pumps, I can just flip the Y around, put it after the 2 pumps in parrallel, and run that way with minimal change to my system.
Opinions?
figure out your fuel consumption at 100psi fuel pressure(4bar base + 40psi)? See if you need two?
Then factor in that :tspry:
I had 2 -8 fittings on the cell.
I unscrewed one, drilled the cell, and replaced it with a -10 one. Then ran that to my pump, then to the filter, then to my rail. I capped the other one.
pics are here:
Also, you can’t run a very restrictive filter on the suction side of the pump, you can run a loose one, but should put a smaller one upstream…
I plan on running 2 pumps inline with each other. I have a walbro intank with stock sock filter and then the bosche o44 which ill be using a boosta pump voltage booster on as well. the filter will be after the bosche obviously on the pressure side. Im just trying to make sure i got enough fuel to make some decent jam on e85. My complete setup is -8an with aeromotive lines and pushlocks.
