inlawZ Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 i've searched for hrs and i've realized that everyone will have a different ideas or preference. So, here's what i am doing: 71 240z w/ l28et 60mm tb stock l28et ecu and wiring stock l28et fuel pump stock l24 gas tank new aluminum fuel line (3/8) garrett t3 turbo (from 300zx) supra fmic 1g dsm bov this is for a weekend car, maybe a daily since i am using the stock l24 tank i will be putting in a surge tank. my question is which is the most recommended/affordable fuel pump that i could use for the surge tank? also, which filters are the best to use with this setup? from all the searches it looks like it should be: fuel tank -> filter -> low pressure/high flow fuel pump-> surge tank->filter-> turbo pump-> aluminum fuel line-> fuel rail return line-> surge tank -> fuel tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefast87 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 do you really need a surge tank? the stock fuel pump may be able to keep up, i dont know much about the factory pump, but you can always get a walbro for 100$, that will keep up.

jc052685 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I think he is talking more abought the lack of baffeling in the carbed tank. I am running a walbro 255 on my factory 260z with my car. If I am going to drive crazy I just make sure I have over a half tank. I dont have a big problem with starving the fuel pump till I suck a good 7-8 gal out of it. The factory fuel pump should flow enough for right at 300hp - 300tq if its in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I had a clogged line feeding my fuel pump on my 75. so I drained the gas tank, and drilled and tapped the stock drain port to a 1/4 npt thread. Then installed a 90 degree-3/8 hose barb fitting. Put on a clear plastic puralator filter with 3/8 barbs and mounted a fuel pump at the level of the tank bottom. works great until 1/4 tank, then I get fuel issue if I do quick changes in speed or direction. A 240 has a similar drain plug. The efi stock pump should work fine. A 2225 msd efi pump will also work well for cheap (90.00 to 100.00). use the old tank feed line as the return line. don't use aluminum fuel lines. the return line needs to be the same size or bigger than the feed line.
