Anybody? My fuel pump took a dump on me and for right now i'm thinking of using a carter 4594 pump and the mallory fpr. I plan to go full bridge later down the road and would like to know if the mallory fpr(4309) will work with a holley blue. The mallory says its good for 3-12 psi while the holley blue runs at 14psi. I will be running a return line. Will this work? Thanks guys.

 

It will work fine. Iirc, you can also limit the Holley blue presure internally.

 

for N/A yes, for turbo, no

 

Awesome, thanks guys.

 

That's my setup. works fine. You cannot use the stock 12a return line as it's too small, so make sure you run at least -6AN a.k.a. 3/8" for feed and return. Stock feed is 3/8. unless it's a GSL-SE then you're lucky with 1/2" (-8AN) feed and 3/8" (-6AN)return.

 

Awesome bro. Well do you know where I can get the new 3/8" line at? Can you post some pics of the setup please?

 

Make your own lines. It's not that hard since aluminum is soft. I buy a 25' roll from the local speed shop and use the old lines as a pattern. Cut the new line a little longer than needed, lay the old one out on the driveway, start at one end matching bend for bend.

You will need different hold downs for the line as the stock ones will crush the new AL fuel lines. Whoever sells you the tubing should carry the looped, rubber coated tie downs. You will also need a flareing tool to put a bulb flare at each end of the tube. Flare doesn't need to be very 'fat'. This will improve the seal and prevent the clamps from crushing the tubeing. I also have a tubeing bender but have found it's not really needed with practice.

I also strongly recommend using solid clamps instead of the worm drive clamps. I've found too many cheap worm drive clamps lately that chew up the rubber fuel line and strip thier threads.

im running a holley blue, but with the holley fpr... and i have the stock return lines.... its been like this for a few months and i havnt had any problems..

 

Awesome, sounds good. Thank you. I'll still need the GSL-SE pickup assemebly right?

 

The SE pickup would certainly help, so would more details on the build. Like why are you going with a full BP, what carb, yada, yada, yada.

 

Cool, well turns out for now i'll be getting the 6 psi carter. I had some things come up I have to pay for. BP will be in the future. Why you ask, I want more power, without going turbo. Once I do, i'll use a 51 IDA.
