1974 260z fuel upgrade questions.


7MGFORCE

Recommended Posts

background.

 

I been a "supra guy" for about 4 years now and know alot about the 7mgte modding. from basic to too much lol.(87-92 supra/mk3)

 

anyways not to long ago i found out about the Z and was trilled that i could fit a 7m wich i love and wieght atleast 1000lbs less. so i hop on the boat and found a 74 260z project.

 

it was basically a shell. so heres my problem. i know nothing about these cars. i want to upgrade the fuel pump to support 400whp

 

after researching i couldnt find what i need.

 

1. based on what ive read a inline walbro gsl392 or 255 lph pump would support 400whp.? who sells a kit? i tried ebay but all they have is stock.

 

2. what other upgrade will i need/will stock lines hold?

 

3. from my understanding the fuel pump is outside instead of an intank like the supra. so will i need to do anything to the tank?

 

 

overall i guess im just really asking what do i need to to do/upgrade to support 400whp. this will be used for street driving so drag racing here and there BUT NOTHING extreme.

 

ps. i know the bits and pieces on the fuel need on the motor i just need to know about the tank/pump part.

 

any help would be great thank you

Took 2 seconds to find. think they are suposed to be good for like 500whp. That should be it. Several have made well over 400whp on the factory fuel lines. The tank is not baffled for fuel injection systems. So either keep the tank over 1/2 full at all times or swap to a 75 280z tank. Of course there is always building your ownn baffle or go with a fuel cell.

im surprice to hear that the stock feed/return lines could support that amount of whp. but thats good to hear :)
