How would you plumb this fuel setup?
How would you plumb this fuel setup? I am working on a twin turbo LS6 setup for a kit car, twin SC6152E's, approx 700-800RWHP or more. I will be using a custom fuel cell.
This is what I was originally planning...
2 in-tank WALBRO GSS340's, each feeding a separate side of the engine.
AN8 to the rails.
After each rail a pressure regulator, then probably an AN6 return back to the tank
Note, 2 regulators, one for each rail.
I realize that if one pump fails I am in trouble with this configuration.
I am looking for advice on a better setup that would handle 900HP.
Should I instead be looking at doing two in-tank, in-line pumps, or parellel pumps?
Thanks,
Jeff

That would scare me, too.
-12 into 1 pump, into a -10 to the ft of the car.Then, into a "Y" block. 2 -8's to the rails. Other end of the rails tied into 1 regulator. -8 back to the tank.
[40 micron filter before the pump, and a 10 micron at/near the engine.]

For 1000rwhp, you only need 1 -8 feed line, dual feeds is a waste of money.
Never run dual regulators, this is a poor design practice as you will never get them the at same setting. Essentially, if you size your pumps properly & get a good regulator, a single regulator will flow all that you need. Since it only handles the unused fuel, it has no bearing on the power capacity of the engine.
If you are inersted in a dual pump kit for a factory tank, I'll be glad to hook you up. 8-900rwhp is not even a challenge for the kit I sell.
