What fuel pump?

astronut1885 · Jan 20, 2008

Hey guys. I have an 04 GT which will be getting a FRPP roots style blower strapped on soon. What I need to know is which fuel pump to get. I'm probably going to be around 300 RWHP in the near future, and over time will add more mods to an end goal of around 400RWHP. I want a fuel pump that is more or less a drop-in, swap replacement and will cover these power levels. I've heard things about a SVT focus pump, and the GT supercar pump, but don't know enough yet. Fill me in.

SVT Ford focus pump will be enough and it's a easy install with no mods needed .

Tim2002GT · Jan 20, 2008

^ I agree.

BennyBlown2v · Jan 20, 2008

Yeah focus pumps are great for the price. Heck, I picked up two of them for $75 shipped a while ago, hah.

Gearbanger 101 · Jan 20, 2008

Hope you've already got the blower. Last I heard, FRPP doesn't make them anymore.

*NEVERMIND*

I just notice the bottom of your sig.

Id go straight to the 03/04 cobra pumps and tank. I Maxed my focus pump out right away. I got mine for 500 shipped w/ a NEW tank and used pumps. Look around for awhile and you can find a good deal.

SaleenGT2001 · Jan 20, 2008

if you'renot going over 400 hp (and you're not on the FRPP blower) a focus pump will be the way to go. make sure it is an SVT focus pump. there is a differance

astronut1885 · Jan 20, 2008

Yeah, I'll be sure to get the SVT version.
SB: While that is a choice setup, it's a little overkill with my current plans. Down the line, when i find some way to push my little blower to 500, that's the route I'll go. And I will find a way, whether it means porting the blower, sick heads and cam, a stroker, whatever it takes, I eventually want to be the only guy making 500/500 to the rear wheel on a FRPP roots blower.

is this the right one?

the98stang · Jan 21, 2008

do it right the first time....buy a cobra tank w/ pumps. It's worth the money.

SilverBullet00 · Jan 21, 2008

Its crazy man, some people max the focus pump out at 360HP, and some max it out closer to 450. If you run a single pump, then I'd say get the ford GT pump (which is cheaper than the focus) and modify the basket.

it is but I've seen them cheaper and wth a warranty too

astronut1885 · Jan 21, 2008

What has to be done to run the Ford GT one?

SaleenGT2001 · Jan 21, 2008

you will not need anything more than the focus pump. it is a direct drop in

I threw a bid at this one, it's Steeda's upgrade pump. Here's what they say about it: http://www.steeda.com/products/replacement_fuel_pump.php
That should be able to handle the roughly 100HP I'll be adding. By the time I'm done with the car I plan on needing a Cobra setup, but I think for now with a bolt on car with exhaust running 6 psi through the FRPP blower with meth and 30# injectors, that thing should do the trick. Opinions?

Maybe start out with the SVT Focus fuel pump, and add the Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump later if needed?

blkhorse · Mar 31, 2008

I am going to run the gt pump with a bap and wiring upgrade. plenty how to's if search here and other sites. the modification necessary to run the gt pump is not hard or anything and it puts out more lph than the svt focus and cheaper too. this setup should be good for around 475rwhp,beyond that you will need dual pumps etc. Right now with mods in sig.I am maxed out on the stock pump with a bap. if you plan to run a single pump,I suggest a bap also

astronut1885 · Mar 31, 2008

How difficult is installing a BAP? Does it need electronics, or is it just an "on/off" application?

real simple to hook -up,it is electronic. some people wire it so it's on all the time,I run mine with the hobb's switch provided so it comes on at about 2 psi boost. go to Kenne bells website and you should information there

astronut1885 · Mar 31, 2008

I was just looking at it. So could I combine that with the Steeda pump and get it done? I wouldn't mind doing that, because the BAP I'd use would also be compatible with a stock 03 Cobra style setup that I may go to down the line when I get heads and cams and such.
