Default Fuel set up for D1SC.

Ok so I recently purchased a complete D1SC set up and I'm trying to option what fuel set up I should go with.

So what would you guys recommend?

I'm thinking I would go with 60# injectors but what should I do for the fuel pump?

Extra details: Completely stock motor and I wont be upping the boost till I have a proper motor set up.

I would like to get a fuel set up that will work with higher hp numbers later down the road.

Go with the 60 # injectors and give lonnies a call for a double pumper with a hobbs switch. His products and customer service is top notch.

Give me a call with some more info on your setup and I can help you spec the system to fit your needs. As mentioned the Dual intank pump setup is prob the way to go. We carry the Lonnies/Racetronix dual setup with our Stage 3 street kits.

A good supercharger setup on a mild LS series motor can surpass the capabilities of a 255 liter pump.

Under these circumstances, one of my dual pump setups will ensure you have enough pump capability, while providing a true plug-n-play solution to your fuel needs. My setup will also work on near stock applications, prevent you from buying things twice.

I hear ya. And I dont think I want to buy a set up that can handle much more power than you have just yet either. I need to put a lot of work into the LS1 or a new motor. Besides, the rest of the car needs to be overhauled to handle anymore power.

So I'm thinking the walbro 255 and a hotwire kit. That should be enough for now right?

When would I need to upgrade the system from there? What hp?

I think you lucked out with a single walbro getting the job done... I was not so lucky.

Read my first post... https://ls1tech.com/forums/fueling-i...ual-pumps.html

So I spent $120 on a walbro pump and $80 on a hot wire kit... Didn't cut it. Then added a KB boost a pump $300 that didn't cut. So I already spent enough money for a dual pump set up on band aids, that still lost fuel pressure. Do it once and forget about it, learn from my mistakes
One more thing to add, boost is very addictive. When I started my build it was only going to be 8-10 #'s of boost and that was it, I have a smaller pully and a meth kit on my desk waiting to be put in this winter, should see 14-16 #'s of boost and I'm not worried about my fuel pumps one bit.

Yeah dual pumps and 60# injectors will be the best. Or you could just install a stage 3 kit and be ready for the big power later on.
