auxilary Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 so, I don't have an rb series motor, but you know what? THere isn't a forum for wankel swaps so I'm going to ask here since you guys have to run high pressure fuel delivery for turbo. Any recommendations for a high flow rate external pump to use with the stock tank? I need a decent not-so-expensive pump to produce about 250-300 lph for the rotary. Unfortunately, US manufacturers don't make a large variety of external electric pumps designed for FI systems. The high flow rate ones made by holley and msd operate between 7-14psi, which is obviously for a carb'd application. Their FI variety is pretty much all intank design (circa 5.0 mustang). Any recommendations and how much am I looking to spend? Danke, -alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 How about this one: 3/8 in. inlet, 5/16 in. outlet, in-line, high pressure, electric, fuel pump Multiport EFI systems require a stable fuel supply to maintain the best performance throughout the engine's rpm range. This high pressure and high flow fuel pump features a roller vane pump mechanism, which is extremely resistant to clogging and jamming. The pump mounts in-line (out of the tank) with two supplied cushioned clamps for a quick and sturdy installation. The nipple inlet is 3/8 in. with a 5/16 in. outlet, and the wire terminals feature brass studs for secure connections. Made in the U.S.A., the pump is ideal as a "booster" for nitrous oxide applications, or as a stand alone-pump for multiport EFI systems on engines up to approximately 500 HP. $76.99 at Summit. Should do the trick? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 Yeah, I already looked at that one. On MSD's site, that part number is listed to provie 43gpl, which is about 162 lph at 40psi. For the wankel, I need a lot more (did I mention that my secondary injectors will be 1300cc?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe two of the MSD pumps will provide enough. Not trying to push the MSD unit, but the price point is sooooo attractive! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAD D Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 The #2225 MSD is 76.99 and the #11106 Aeromotive is 289.95 at summit. So you could almost have 4 MSD pumps for the price of the Aeromotive, but it looks nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 Dumb question: Can I run 2 fuel pumps in line? or is that a dumb idea? Brad: with FI for turbo applications, how vital is it to have a sumped tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 HKS has one that pumps 165 psi / 90 gph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAD D Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 "Can I run 2 fuel pumps in line?" No, you would need a Y-block feed from two lines and dump back into one. "how vital is it to have a sumped tank?" I would not use a stock 240Z tank, even with my sump I will keep it above 1/4 tank. Just to be safe.

Zardilla Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I am actually going to try and run a mercedes twin bosch pump (which is inline - ie one draws from the tank and then feeds the other that runs to the fuel rail. It comes with a filter canister and a pulse regulator. The only drawback is that this unit is farily bulky and as there is little room under the 240Z I may have to mod the the spare tire well I picked up one of these units from a local mercedes junk yard for $150, not cheap but it was recommended to me by a local rally racer who is running a 600hp turbo charged engine and it is doing just fine for him. Just another suggestion. the bosch part number of the pumps is 0580 254 950 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
