SVT Fuel Pump

[evil281]

at what point do you really want to get a better fuel pump or does it just help anyway? i need to be schooled on the fuel system, i have about 250rwhp and 288rwtq plans of power adder in a year or so

when you get the FI you'll need it, not before then. There's an equation you can use to figure out how much your your injectors can support as well.

You dont even have to think about the fuel system untill 300+ RWHP.

if youre gonna go with a power adder you cant go wrong with an 03 cobra pump pretty much plug and play... but with the cobra pumps in a gt tank u need to keep a 1/4 tank or the pumps will suck them selves dry and you will need to remove the bracket that holds the stock gt pump in the tank. i had svt focus pump waste of money the pump will suck the bucket dry

not true at all. you should have modded the bucket. (two 1/2" holes in the bottom) and you would have been fine to 420 rwhp. you need 1/4 tank or more to be in boost

drilling holes in the bottom of the bucket is a bad idea because the bucket is designed to fill and hold fuel. by drilling holes in it you take a bigger chance of fuel running away from the pump when the tank gets low. I did alot of re-search into this and its not a good idea. the focus pump doesnt really flow that much more then the stock gt pump and its not enough to drain the bucket before it can be filled. the svt pump isnt 255lph like some people believe.

it was recomended by MPH. you MUST run 1/4 tank or more all the time

i was being told that 03 cobra pump in a stock gt tank you need to keep 1/4 tank because there are no baffles in the tank the fuel would slosh driving around corners i didnt know about being under boost also i never really run the tank past 1/4 anyway
