YoungZOwner Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I have a quick question, been looking to see if anyone else as asked but no luck so far so thought would just ask. Can i run just an electric fuel pump at the tank without having to run the mechanical pump on the motor?(Remove the mechanical all together) If so what pressure would i have to run? Thanks for any replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240zJake Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Yes you can do that, fuel pressure depends on if your using carbs or fuel injection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungZOwner Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 Running Stock 260z carbs, what i have in mind is to clean up the engine bay and get some things tucked away so looks cleaner. like putting fuel line on fire wall and switch fuel rail around so open ends also face fire wall, think will work?

Drax240z Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Usually around 3psi works well, but if you have fuel starvation issues you may have to go a bit higher. (3.5 or 4psi) Rarely will you need more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240zJake Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Prolly, thinking or rerouting my fuel lines too for a cleaner look... carbs dont require too much fuel pressure, but i dont know the exact number...id guess somewhere in the teens edit: i guess i was far off...

Guest 240zJake Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Maybe run the wires underneathe the fenders up top for the lights or maybe through the frame rails or disguise them as fuel lines....im torn between hiding my electrcal or making them blatently obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 83supaZ Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 i am also cleaning up my bay.. today i started in on rust in the bay and under the car... this is a pain w/o a rotiserie (i cant spell i know) lol.. i have 4x4's that are 8ft above ground 4 ft below w/85lbs of concrete in each hole and 2 braces on each side... looks like an upside down U with braces... that is my engine hoist... well today it became my car hoist.. lol connected it to my front brace that the engine connects too.. lifted the front end all the way up (well far as it would let me w/o the back getting bent) it works ok i guess... could be better.. but a rust free Z is the BEST. i switched my EFI to 240 roundtop SU's .. would a stock fuel pump be best? also.. has anyone tried that stuff that claims to turn rust into grey primer? wally world sells it... wondering if it works.
