WHP limit with stock TII fuel rails and lines
I was wondering what the limit would be with the stock fuel rails and lines, don't worry, everything else is good for at least 700whp but how far could I take these stock parts? Anyone test the limit or push their stock rails and lines pretty far?

You could/should probably ask this in the second gen section :)

run a 1/2 inch drill bit thru them and weld on -8 AN or -6 AN bungs.
you shouldnt use the stock lines in the bay... |

This is the exact reason I did not want it in this section
|
i wouldn't push more than about 500whp with a sub 300lph pump on the stock lines/rails.
for 500+ i would run a walbro 400 and the rising RPM rails. |

with that i would probably do a -6 parallel line setup with all new hardlines under the car, they're cheap enough.

I have dual walbro 400's now Ben, and 4x id2000's, and a BW s400sx lol. I was planning on running those rails but am not gonna do it unless I also upgrade all my lines, just trying to decide if I should upgrade it all right now and put off finishing this or if I would be able to get decent power on the stock stuff
400liters per hour, divide by 60 to get liters per minute. ~7 liters a minute, or 1.8 gallons. |
Then I should have plenty of fuel right lol
I only bought two of those pumps cause I got such a great deal on them, if I can make 600-650 on 1 of them with my KB BAP then I'll just use 1 but if I need both I have them already |
you should only need 1 for over 600whp on pump gas but i haven't really pushed them up there to really know their limits.

Easy rule of thumb for fuel line sizing from A. Graham Bell:
1/4" OD (-4 AN) - 165bhp EFI, 110bhp Carb 5/16" OD (-5 AN) - 300bhp EFI, 200bhp Carb 3/8" OD (-6 AN) - 500bhp EFI, 335bhp Carb 1/2" OD (-8 AN) - 1000bhp EFI, 675bhp Carb Also, the Aeromotive website has a power planner section. Aeromotive | Power Planner |

Stock FC fuel line under the chassis is 5/16 I think. Super tiny and a bottleneck with that pump. Run -6 or 8 for safe hp like 350+

That's some good info right there, about what size is stock lines? What about rails? Is it just that they look better or do rising rpm rails also flow better?
|
i think those flow rates are a bit broad, since i've already managed several cars right at 500whp with the stock hard lines.
also iirc the RRPM rails accomodate -8 without much of a step down. the stock rails have a smaller bore but i don't have specific numbers on hand, all i do know for certain is they provide enough fuel for over 500whp with no problem. |

and too large and the pump will have a difficult time keeping the pressure up.

I'm curious how many people with high hp redo the lines under the car. It seems like most people just modify the lines in the engine bay

Nobody?
|
I don't think that anybody who is making serious power still has the original fuel tank or the lid. What are you going to do with a 500+hp car that doesn't have a fuel cell? :scratch:
