Aeromotive A1000 pump install pics
I'm going to install my A1000 pump this weekend. Anyone have any installed pics of one? Trying to decide on location for the install.. Thanks

doesn't directfreak run one of those monsters?
|
Yes, and I run one as well. I will see if I can get a picture for you.
It really is not that tough. Right where the stock pump sits is where i placed mine. I used rubber bushings so that the pump would be a little quieter and the vibration on the actual pump would be less. Drill 4 holes and mount. I would use lock nuts so that the bolts can't rattle loose. |

I have to admit that it is a little loud. But what can you expect from something that can support 800hp? That being said I would rather deal with a little noise when I am sitting at a stop light vs leaning out while under boost because I sized my pump too small.

I agree... The inline walbro just couldn't keep up
|
Also looking for the pictures, im putting a A1000 into my FB as well. =)
|
did you guys had weld a fuel sump in the tank? or how you guys are using the a1000 pump? thanks
|
Is the Areomotive pump ethanol (Higher than 10%... More like 85% or 100%) compatible?
|
what motor/turbo/fuel setup are you feeding with the A1000?
|
Im putting a 93 turbo engine with a PT76 on mine. When you guys put turbo engines are you guys using the stock fuel tank with a Sump or you guys use a Fuel Cell? Thanks.

Ok, sorry for the delayed response. I was out of town. I will try and answer as many questions as possible. I used the stock GSL-SE tank. It is already sumped so there is no need for a surge tank. As expressed in many other threads this tank can also be used in an older 12a model as well.
Personally, I am feeding a 93 turbo motor with a turbo that should be capable of 500rwhp at around 23-27psi. I know that I will never max out the fuel system, however, I really do not want to tax the fuel pump all the time. I built the car for reliability. I also know that I will probably never have a 2 rotor that can peform at the hp levels that the a1000 can produce. Sorry for the bad picture. It was all that I could find at the moment. And there are new lines that are run. You can see the size of the a1000 in the other picture... Z |
Your fuel supply line to the pump from the tank looks a little kinked there. What's the point of installing a fuel pump that can support 800hp when you've carelessly routed the fuel lines?

Seems like a simple mounting spot, but I can deffinately see why its alot easier with a SE tank. Im thinking of trying it with my carter pump feeding a surge tank. But I don't really think theres enough room. Especially once I get the 8.8" in there... |

RE-READ! Those lines were changed out. That is the old mount. I have a AN fitting on there now and angles upward towards the tank. That was just a mock piece of fuel line so that I could figure out what length was needed. Why can't people read? Jeeze! |
