Which Fuel Pump?

Here is what I am proposing to do to my 87 TII.

T04B 1.32A/R divided exhuast housing with P trim turbine, T04B H trim compressor in a 0.70A/R compressor housing.
Crispeeds Manifold with 40mm wastegate.
Haltech E6K
Already have Greedy FMIC
720cc primary's
1600cc secondaries with BIG Fuel rail.

What would be the best fuel pump for this application?
I am currently using the Walbro 255.

I made that decision based on this post made by Shane Tofts.

It's not written in concrete. Do you have a better setup?
Still need to know what kind of Fuel Pump to use.

I'm using the ND pump Jason sells, and I seem to have plenty of fuel.

I'm curious to know what monster port you're going to be running, because that AR 1.32 TO4B example in the other post is Rice Racings car, and I know the motor is bridge ported and has huge (as big as you can make) exhaust ports. If you are going with the stock port stick to an AR.84-1.00, you will be much happier.

I run a TO4S AR 1.00 P trim on my FD(small side port), which is a very similar turbo to the one you are talking about, and I use the Walbro pump. If you are only going to run around 15-17psi you will be good. When I turned my boost up to 20psi I could watch the fuel pressure drop on the top end(SCARY).

Yes, you can get a divided AR 1.00, that's what I'm running.

I think youll find rice racings car is not bridge ported,

i had a 1.32 on a standard turbo 2 motor and it made boost from 2000 with full boost at about 3700, my mate had a 1.52 on a ported motor and made full boost at 4500, both turbos are 66-1's

If you are going to drive the car on the street you will be much happier with a AR .84-1.00 exaust housing, you also should be able to find one used for really cheap on the internet because they are a pretty common size.

Go to www.summitracing.com get the Holly or BBK fuel pump kit for the FC3S and make sure you get the one that says turbo...

The Holly and BBK kits both use the Walbro fuel pump... just make sure your getting the 255 lph kit...

Those kits are kind of expensive compared to just buying the Walbro pump and a cheap installation kit.

Agreed, in the stores here, they were 70 to 100 bucks more than the Walbro generic kits, but you could look through the bubble packageing and read the Walbro name and part number right off the holley and bbk pumps, the name Holley and BBK are not worth that much to me....
