What fuel pump with 1200 hp and an F2 blower?

[Adam's 55 Chevy]

The car I bought used to run a 461ci BBc with an 8/71 blower. The PO installed a BG 400 fuel pump and regulator. He said the car ran strong with no fuel issues.

I will soon be getting my 540 BBC and F2-R blower which should run in the 1000+hp range.

Will this fuel pump be man enough or do the panel think I should go for a higher spec one.

The Aeromotive P/N11104 should fit the bill:



Eliminator fuel pump, P/N 11104

For high horsepower Strip/Street applications, EFI or carbureted.

For fuel injected engines:
Up to 1600 HP - naturally aspirated
Up to 1100 HP - forced air induction

For carbureted engines:
Up to 1800 HP - naturally aspirated
Up to 1500 HP - forced air induction

Designed for forced air induction machines running on the street and at the track. The Eliminator gives you about 25% more flow at pressure compared to the A1000. Proprietary aerospace composite technology is built into the patent-pending "dual chamber" pumping mechanism.

Pump flow exceeds 800 lbs. per hour @ 13.5 Volts and 45 PSI.
Pump flow exceeds 1,000 lbs. per hour @ 13.5 Volts and 8 PSI.
Inlet port is -12 AN O-ring boss, outlet port is -10 AN O-ring boss.
For EFI engines use regulator P/N 13110, carbureted P/N 13202.
Fully submersible for custom, in-tank placement.

The continuous duty, "street warrior", supports more HP in a true street car than any other pump built. Billet Pump Controller (P/N 16302) recommended to keep fuel cool on long trips.

I have its smaller cousin, the A1000 and it has been working well for a couple years.

What will be your total system pressure -- base + boost. Once you have that answer ask the fuel pump manufacturer what the flow is at that pressure. A 540 with a F2 can make 1300 hp and you'll need enough fuel for 1500 hp figuring 20+ lbs of boost. If its a street car with no more than 10 lbs of boost -- 800 to 1000 is realistic.

[Adam's 55 Chevy]

Its both. We have a race series called Street Eliminator. Fastest car to date is 8.01 @193mph (street treads and FULLY street legal). The cars do a proper 25 mile cruise round country roads. Do a pump gas fill up from a gas station and 2 hot starts.

Therefore the car will see street duty, race duty and some silly Sat afternoon antics in town duty!

I don't mind changing my system but only if I have to. I will be running between 16 and 24lbs of boost depending on what the car is doing.

[Jim Craig]

Sorry it has taken so long to reply -- the pump you will need should flow at least 140 gph @ 80 psi. This will be enough to support 1200 hp. You will need some form of pump speed controller to reduce pump speed while you drive the vehicle on the street or in traffic.
-OR-
Use two pumps -- a small inline that will support the motor while street cruising and then when you get to the track or if the boost reaches a certain point turn on the second (larger pump).

Check with Kurt Urban @ W2W -- he's done plenty of these.

Is your engine carb or EFI ?

I have a similar combo that we ran pretty conservatively ad got over 1100 hp on 91 octane. It is a true street/strip vehicle and runs an Aeromotive 11101 pump with controller and then the 11104 kicks on in boost mode. Supports 1750 hp with Race Fuel.

See attached fuel sysytem photo.

Hope this helps.

Its a carb. I am just going to order a CSU 850 for this set up. I have a BG 400 pump at the moment but if I need another one should it be a completely seperate system and up up to where?

Wouldn't the higher rated pump hinder the flow of the lesser pump as the fluids meet?

What I really need is someone to design me a fuel system for this set up !!! ;-)

I'm surprised no one mentioned a Weldon pump. They are the best period! Check out this page for your application. http://www.weldonracing.com/view.pht...20Fuel%20Pumps

Make sure to get a fuel pump controller so you don't overheat the fuel. http://www.weldonracing.com/product....ump_Controller

hey man i am new here but you need to run a magna fuel 500 and the aeromotive reg # 13202 with a blow thru. That pump will last forever on the street and you MUST run atleast a #10 return to get fuel pressure where you need it. thanks conbread

X2......thats what i use.

I did buy the Magna fuel 500 and the Aeromotive reg.
Question. The pump has it's own return which is -10. The regulator also has a return. Do I also run a second return from the reg back to the tank or will the built in pump return suffice?

[Turbo Hen]

cap the "bypass/return" on the pump & use a -10 to the regulator & -10 return to the tank. Also, feed the pump with a -12. This is a proven fuel system that will work, using it currently on my own car & fueling isnt a problem whatsoever.

Im assuming you're using the AEROMOTIVE #13202 regulator with that pump on a blowthrough? If not, prepare for issues.

www.theturboforums.com & read up in the Carb section.

Ok let me get this straight. Ignore the pump return to the tank and cap it with an AN plug so it is no longer working, YES / NO?

I am already going to run -12 from the tank to the pump so thats ok. So run -10 from pump to reg then bypass return from reg to tank needs to be -10 also YES / NO?

I am running a CSU carb what line shall I run from reg to carb -8 or -6?

Thanks for your help BTW.

YES.

YES.

-8 & make sure that you're NOT using a fuel log. TWO -8 lines out of the regulator, 1 of them to each side of the bowl.

[Adam's 55 Chevy]

Thank you very much indeed. I will use the old fuel line which is a -10 as the return and run a new one for the feed.

Hopefully I will be able to post some times like your running!!! (on pump gas)

[Turbo Hen]

With the right combo...shouldnt be a problem. That F2 will bring you there & beyond.
