So many Fuel Pumps and Sizes....
So many Fuel Pumps and Sizes....
Is there's a equation to see what LPH pump I need? I'm looking at running Haltech RE with probably 1000cc injectors. I'm not planning on going crazy with HP or boost. Do I really need to spend several hundred on a pump or just a standard 255 lph good?
Thx

It depends on the composition and temperature of the fuel, but here is the generic equation:
LPH = ((Horsepower * BSFC) / 1.585)
However, there are more factors such as pressure and voltage. See here:

I like the Aeromotive Power Planner because it includes everything, including the size of the plumbing. It isn't optimized for rotary engines, but it should be pretty close, and you can always go one step larger if you are concerned about running out of fuel.
