Default fuel supply turbo car.

Here is the quick. I have a new turbo car, t76, 370, 57lb inj. looking for 14lb boost. car has 255 pump in tank, returnless currently. Will this work? or do I need to add one more pump, or pull all my aeromotive system off of my NA car and swap to the turbo car, which will be a PITA.

Thoughts o great ones of the boosted world....

Think single pump is good to about 600rwhp? Not 100% sure on that though. I would go intank twinpump ,my lonnies is sweet setup. Then if you go crazy on power later you can add on bigger lines, adjustable reg. bigger rails..That can take you to 1000rwhp. Past that its time for huge single pump or triple intanks and other high end fuel setups.

Thanks Guys.. I have FAST fuel rails. Can I convert my single pump to a twin pump? I could then run #8 line to the rail with a boost ref regulator???

Do a twin pump set up and be done with it. Very happy with my lonnies double pumper. There is a sticky it the fuel section on the DIY twins, but I took the easy way out and ordered one. Very nice work all plug and play with a racetronix harness and a hobbs switch.

I'm still on my stock regulator and fuel lines. When I talked to lonnie about my set up he told me the stock lines/reg would get me to 650-700hp at the wheels before I would need to upgrade the lines/reg. So far so good with his pumps, There is no loss in pressure at 6,500 rpms/11#'s of boost. From what I have been told you can reuse the stock feed line as your "new" return and a # 10 for the new feed.

for what reason would you lose pressure with your setup?
