What kind of fuel pump do you run in your FD?

I was just curious after you all posted about clutches. What kind of fuel pump/system do you run and what kind of mods do you have done for the setup?

What pump you get will depend on what HP you want to run. The stock pump is good for over 300 rwhp.

Supra pump (drop in) and a Mallory fuel pressure reg (set to factory pressure - only needed because I have an aftermarket secondary rail). It is working well for 405 rwhp, but it's basically maxed out. If your goals are over 400, you should consider something beefier.

Ari and Chris over at www.rx7.com have tested the supra tt fuel pump to support up to 500 rwhp at it's upper limit.

No they are not. Here is a good read on fuel pumps and actual testing on them.

What kind of voltage is it getting? You should be able to get more out of it.

Better come up with some hard evidence to back that claim up. ACT happens to make some excellent products.
