Thank you. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be upgrading the wiring. All I wanted to do is put a turbo on my car Haha.You should for that size pump, especially for a turbo car (I wouldn't want voltage drop to cause a flow issue when under fuel boost). IIRC, aeromotive suggests a 10 guage wire minimum, directly from the battery or alternator (fused of course). IIRC, you're car has a 20 amp fuse on the factory fuel pump which is just adequate to drive that pump. I'd upgrade to 10 gauge wiring, a 30 amp fuse and associated relay to drive that pump. You can buy a pre-made kit, or it's quite easy to wire up your own. I would just upgrade the wiring going to the fuel pump (bypass the inertia switch or integrate it into the control side of the relay) and rewire the existing control into the new relay. Feed the high current side of the relay (going to the pump) from a direct DC source under the hood. Make sure your ground is good also going to the fuel pump.
Tell me about it. Turbo is on the car. Fuel system is the last thing that need to be addressed, at this point, hahha. I just want to do it right the first time.You gotta start somewhere, problem is it will never end!
Very true. I dont remember when my quest started, but it was a very long time ago. Possibly in the womb. NEED MORE POWER!!!!You just think it's the last thing!
the quest for power is a never ending journey.
Yeah. I switched to MAP (I went with stinger performance) plugs have been gapped. Somewhere along the line someone put a Mallory coil on it so well see how that holds up. I know the trans and clutch is going to go sooner than later (I'll be saving up for a tko or something). I've been messing around with the tuning while it was NA getting my feet wet. My goal for this car has always been to keep it a street car (it still has AC) making around 450ish hp and I want to take it to the track to see what it dose eventually. It's not gonna be a track car it's gonna be a street car that gets driven to work very frequently.
I kept the aeromotive 340lph (I already opened it) and put the walbro 340lph in the box.For a daily driver on a stock block I'd keep the Walbro, especially if you can get your money back on the aeromotive, it's all you need. It's a good pump. If you can't get your money back, 340>255.
Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I should run that wire after all. I dont want to take any chances. I already put the pump in and I'd rather have it and not need the the other way around. I'm sure it will come in handy in the near future.FYI the GSS340 is a 255lph unit. Makes sense, I know.
