    I'm actually surprised it wasn't higher than that. I remember seeing the aeromotive booth at the PRI show a few years ago and they had a cutaway gas tank with an A1000 running inside of it and returning through a regulator. I don't know what fluid they were running but the tank was too hot to hold your hand on.

    I notice a difference if i fill up with fresh cold fuel, i would be curious what my temps are..

    When you were at mpact how much fuel were you carrying?

    I always run a full tank to keep the pumps happy (and a full trim car complete with a spare )

    I just installed a 485+340lph in my tank...I shoulda logged fuel temps beforehand but I will log fuel temps under DD conditions. Praying sxit don't get too hot lol

    Do you have both pumps running all the time or staged?

    Yes two pumps running makes a TON of heat. Exactly the reason why I'm trying to stay away from that all.

    My friends turbo NSX, we built a fuel system for it. Walbro 255 in OE tank feeding a surge tank w/ 2x 044's.

    At first we had both on at the same time, the surge tank fuel got so hot in a matter of minutes of just the car running at idle it got to the point after 15-20 min that you could barely hold your hand on the surge tank (aluminum) and as time went on the lines from the tank to the fuel rails and the rails themselves started to get hot.

    Once we staged the pumps, the difference was truly amazing. One pump running and the surge tank would take a long time to warm up, and then it would be just that warm never hot.

    Can someone enlighten me why smaller displacement uses less fuel to make the same power as a larger displacement engine. I'm missing something here since I've never done the calls myself. I'd have to imagine the boost pressure on a smaller displacement would have to be greater to make the same power as a larger displacement and therefore you need a higher rail fuel pressure and therefore less fuel pump output. Is a function of chamber volume equated in here that results in less fuel required that I am missing?

    My 0.02 on running a second fuel pump. Just have it kick on based on boost pressure if running stock ecu

    I wonder what the triple Walbro supra guys are doing....and what their fuel temps look like

    Thats what I do with my set up. The second pump kicks on with a hobbs switch at about 6 psi.

    I have mine so it turn on at 40% throttle and stays on for an additional 10 seconds when throttle goes below 40%.

    Simply put, bigger engines require more fuel.

    boost matters, but a 2.5L engine will need less fuel then a 3.2L engine at the same boost level.

    I agree at the same boost a 2.5L needs less fuel. But he was definitely running more boost than would've been required on a 3.2l to make 700whp. So I'm trying to figure out why at a higher boost pressure he was still requiring less fuel and his one fuel pump kept up where you're saying larger displacement engines ran out of pump

    I think the component you are missing here is rpm

    What rpm did make 700? A turbo car can use 5+% less fuel at 7000 vs 6000..

    Did he make 700@ 7800 or 700@6800??

    I can't see why 700 whp on a 3.2 would need more fuel than 700 whp on a 2.5 assuming both the 2.5 and 3.2 are tuned to the same AFR and timing is at MBT for both. (higher boost and rpm of course required to make same power on the 2.5). Basically that would be saying that BSFC inherently increases with displacement.

    That's where my head was. So I was assuming I was missing something. Hopefully someone can chime in

    This. Hp is hp. The fuel system doesn't care what size the motor is. Only how much hp at X boost it has.

    if you have larger cylinders (ie. more displacement) you are consuming more air per cylinder.. if you're using more air, you need more fuel to reach your target AFR.

    Remember you are adding fuel to the air mass, not the other way around.

    Yae I know that's questionable. there's only one way to fine out. Am going to try the single walbro 485 and see what happens. Shit i mite even use stock fuel lines. Goals is 700whp. If it don't support it I'll just upgrade.
