As some know, my car was getting some major upgrades since we were running out of fuel (injectors, lines, maf, etc) so an upgrade was necessary.
I wanted to go with a sump, however, it just couldn't get done in time and perhaps that will be revisited.
However, here is what was done:
- 8 AN feed from tank to rail (originally wanted to do -10 AN but opted for -8 AN) which should support my level of horsepower.
- 8 AN from rail to rail.
- 6 AN return line.
- New Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator (Universal)
- Steeda billet fuel rails.
- Intank Aviator fuel pump (271lph) followed by Bosch 390 inline fuel pump. Hopefully this will be plenty of fuel. When I crank her over it's pretty loud hearing those pumps primer up. :grin:
- New paxton intercooler. I've always run previously with no intercooler and never believed in them so time will tell. What I do know is that on the dyno previously, my IAT's were 190 which are pretty high. Keeping fingers crossed that IC will cool things down.
- When I get to the dyno shop, we'll swap out the little 42# injectors for some 60# squirters. We'll also pull the Pro-M 80mm MAF and replace it with a Pro-M 77 MAF.
There's still quite a bit to do (safety items) once tuning is done, however, progress is being made.
Pictures to follow (too dark and cold outside to mess around with that digital camera).
Big thanks to 98SilverStang he did all the fuel system and intercooler install because I was right in the middle of a move in my new house and I know he would treat my car as if it were his own. He did an amazing job and is very meticulous about his work. I do feel kind of strange though because I've done 99.9% of the mods on this car myself in the last 6+ years... kind of weird having someone else work on your car but hey, like I said, he did a super job and I appreciate it.
Kauffman Motorsports here I come December 9th for dynotuning!
