i am shooting for the same power at the moment i am going with a supra fuel pump and 850/1600 injectors

you could always run two walbros and the other feed line could be your evap line that was another thought that i did not do cuz i did not know if it would work lol

I have that set up now but I thought the supra pump was only good for 400-450hp

I'm using a Denso fuel pump #950-0155, and I'm happy with it. It's a direct replacement for the FD pump, doesn't make any extra noise, and not too expensive.

on the fc3spro site i saw that the mallory 110fi pump outflows the aeromotive im thinking of going that route since ive had a A1000 previously and the brushes detached from the motor so i wasn't pleased also its cheaper than the a1000 goes for 260$ at jegs and summit racing but i think those pumps are for hard core drag racers like erniet and such people , has any body ever tried dual 044 pumps ? that would cover this guy i think

A boost a pump is basically a vacuum/boost driven device that raises and lowers voltage to the fuel pump. The mustang guys have had nothing but good luck with the kenne bell boost a pumps and even some rotary guys have proven that they work great. I haven't dyno'd my car yet but will be hopefully this weekend. So far at 18psi on a t70 the tuner has seen no issues with this setup. I will be boosting higher than this if it doesn't hit 500hp at 18psi and have no doubts that it will easily support that power. I know all setups are different but I do believe jrat has proven that even a walbro 255 can support 500hp and a Bosch 044 outflows a 255 + the boost a pump should mean it will take 500 without a problem and you have the reliability of a nice Bosch fuel pump.

You can sacrifice amperage for voltage. as long as there is extra amperage, you can convert it to higher voltage.

How do you think they get 20,000 volts out of 4 AA batteries in a stun gun? (AA's are only 1.5v each, or 1.2v for rechargeable cells)

So the Bosch 044 can handle a 500hp setup eh? Add the Boost a pump and you have yourself a reliable setup.

There the same size as the other pumps and they are not enough for a safe 500 hp in a 7 from what i hear. And 700hp in a supra is not the same as an rx7.

for the Bosch 044 Fuel Pump RX-7 Store recommends they be installed between the factory (or another aftermarket) in-tank fuel pump, and the fuel rail. In addition, feeding these inline pumps with another pump (in series), will boost the output of the Bosch 044 fuel pump even higher. So if thats correct then this set up would be able to handle 500HP. Right?

Which in-tank pump is good for 500 hp? I am aiming for 425 whp, so I think a 500hp pump should suit my needs, no? Or is the hp rating of pumps relatively arbitrary?

I will also be running a boost-a-pump, but I would like a pump that would do its job without it, and then improve from there.

Also, i prefer a single in-tank pump.
