What size fuel lines do I run? What do I need as far as fuel system goes? Just went to vpw and they priced me up on a surge tank and a proflow external fuel pump?

surge tanks on ebay for $70 + 1 bosch 044 or similar 255L/Hr external pump i buy TREperformance ones from the states for half the price of a bosch standard fuel lines seem to keep up so far

 

[holden_4aw_lyfe]

i was thinking about it and i think ive got a soultion to the fuel problem, i like your way delco but check this out and let me know what you think (excuse the lame drawing lol)

Im upgrading fuel lines aswell to braided because of E85

 

[delcowizzid]

need a surge tank its what keeps them alive plus a 255l/hr pump wont flow very high when sucking through an intank pump they just make horrible noises like they are straining to draw fuel LOL

im going to run the aeromotive A1000 EFI external pump

Aeromotive | 11101 - A1000 Fuel Pump

that external with a proflow filter???

can i run a surge tank inside the tank or do i have to have it externally???

 

[delcowizzid]

i wouldnt go that big on the pump youll have issues trying to return all the unused fuel and controlling pressure.youre better off running duel externals and switching on the 2nd pump at high boost levels.take a look at some of the buick turbo sites and see what they say about the aeromotive pumps LOL

Run a stock pump to your boot mounted surge tank, have the aero pump pulling from there.
Plumb the return line into the surge tank and then an overflow from the surge tank back to the factory tank.
