Xnke Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Ok, so I'm looking to convert the mechanical pump I have now over to an electric pump setup, similar to the '74 260Z setup. I have been looking at this pump: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRT-P60430/ It's a carter, stock replacement for the chevy LUV truck and it's 1.8L engine. It claims 30GPH at 6PSI, which would seem fine, since guessing a BSFC of .52 and a maximum planned horsepower of 200, fuel required would be roughly 16GPH, according to several fuel pump calculators out there. But it's for a 1.8L engine, and mine is 2.9L. Will this cause a problem, or is it one of those "as long as it flows over 16gph, it'll be ok" situations?

PanzerAce Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 As long as the pump flow enough fuel, it doesn't matter. Look at it this way, the fuel pump doesn't know what it's hooked to. All it knows is that it's pumping #GPH. Especially to carbs, as long as it doesn't flood them, basically any pump will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
