bit of an update...

just got back from aushose with some earls fittings for the bosch fuel pump install this weekend. Still no good news on the wheels yet, but hopefully getting close to finding the right adaptor.

pics of the how the fuel pump will be setup in the tank

IJ chime in if that should be sufficient with that bulkhead to seal the top..

 

[AndyMac]

also took my dash out last night and started mounting gauges in the standard cluster.

 

[IJ.]

I would have used real AN fittings and pushlock hose Andy but that looks like it should work.

 

[SURUKO]

very nice works on those gauges ....

they had none

plus it was fairly $$ with all those fittings.

Ill make sure its all clamped up properly.

thanks man, still want to put the water temp gauge in place of the stock one also but its a 60mm bezel so will require a little more work.

Ill post more pics as I get more done.

finally finished modifying my fuel pump hanger to accomodate the massive bosch unit.

I had to remove the standard feed pipe, then drill out the top for the bulkhead fitting. Lastly I had to remove a section of the hanger itself to allow the 45 degree AN fitting to clear.

All in all I am pretty happy with the job. I am running 12 gauge wiring for my relay and pump, I was just wondering if I had to change the in-tank wiring to match the gauge?

 

[IJ.]

Heavier wire would be better but that short run shouldn't make a lot of difference Andy.

 

[AndyMac]

I was going to run a 45 degree fitting from the top of the pump too but I remembered what you said about the number of 45 degree fittings on a fuel line

dont get me started about massive :naughty: mine doesnt even fit in the tank hehe

nice build btw

and whats this stuff about 45's on a fuel line

yeah the a1000 is a huge pump!

I could see how the 45's would be avoidable with a pump that size.

Its only 1 45 degree bend as it stands, hopefully wont have to use one outside the hanger on the feed hose.

 

[IJ.]

1x 90 degree bend = 10 feet of straight line of the same size restriction wise

45's are better and sweeps in both better again.

shit, its a 90 not a 45....

and again, i couldnt see a way around it with a pump this size.

 

[IJ.]

Don't stress Andy if it's a sweep you'll be fine and even if it were a regular 90 one isn't going to hurt too much as the 040 is a damn powerful pump.

 

[AndyMac]

I guess I will find out when I put it on the dyno....

I am not chasing rediculous numbers, hopefully going for reliability.

 

[northwestsupra]

IJ you always say this, but its my turn. do you have proof of 90 degree's being equal to 10 ft or same size line?

 

[IJ.]

Without digging through a pile of text books from 20 years ago no but it's basic fluid dynamics.

 

[wes-harrison]

shit that colour is seeexxxxyyyy!

 

[northwestsupra]

well my fluid dynamics go as far as gravity making it fall lol, no i can imagine how it would work but i was just curious. i figure that with the amount of pressure behind it that it really wouldnt matter. now if goals were higher and there was alot of fuel being used, then i could see it being a possible issue. i guess ill have to make a animation in 3dsmax using my fluid software to see how the difference live
