Guys,
Is there a need or an interest in a 255 LPH EFI pump modules for GM or Dodge trucks? I work for a complany that produces one of the most popular 255 LPH pump for imports and older Mustangs. We also have a line of modules for many GM and most Dodge trucks. We could very easily put our 255 LPH pump in these modules if there is a market for them. Personally I'm into hot rods and customs so I don't know much about the truck performance market. I welcome your comments. If this is a crazy idea say so and I won't waste any more of your time. Thanks.

 

There is actually a need for something that will support at least 1000fwhp. Once we get over 500rwhp, the truck guys are having to run boost a pumps, add an inline pump or go with a twin intank setup, or switch to a full custom fuel setup.

 

search using the key words walbro install and you'll see many threads. hard to say if there is enough people that would pay for a plug n play pump module. Hard to compete tho when you can get a pump and modify your bucket for just over a bill. Hope this helps.

 

With respect to GM trucks, the returnless systems have the most issues. There are different module designs. Some work OK with just a pump swap, while others lose the venturi pump feature to fill the bucket if you just do a pump swap. Unless GM has redesigned those modules, that issue needs to be resolved for those applications(e.g. 2004 Avalanche).

Otherwise there may not be a big demand for stock style modules, but a custom designed high perf module with some additional features/improvements would be nice.

 

Wierd, I remember replying to this thread yesterday, and now it's gone.

Anywho, I would like to see a dual 255 intake setup. Right now I have a stock intank pump and an external 255 pump from a Radix kit. I'm not sure how much longer this will hold me, but there's really no where for me to go without hacking up the plastic bucket in the tank or spining the crap out of the pumps with a voltage booster.

As stated above, a lot of guys do this already to get one 255 in there. I'd prefer not to go this route, but since there are no options, that's what it'll probably be.

So basically what I'm saying is a single 255 setup probably would draw much business since we've figured out how to make that work, but a dual setup that's safe and affordable would be nice. Oh yeah, I'm only talking about a return style system here.

Another point of interest is that these trucks run at 4 bar (~58psi) at idle, and the stock FPR's are boost referenced.

 

I searched Walbro install and found a ton of old posts. Thanks for the idea. It sounds like a few of you guys have been useing intank 255 lph pumps right along. My question is since our current design doesn't have the jet that fills the module with fuel what to you do to the module to get fuel in there?

 

You did, just a different section. It was removed due to non-sponsor. However, on second thought this thread can continue as long as shoebox respects our sponsors. No contact info. I see this thread as a "feeler" thread for a company looking to be a sponsor. Please don't let it stray.

I just put the walbro in my bucket last night. I did it exactly like ranwalk did. Just so the sock is outside the bucket. No holes in the bucket(besides the zip tie to hold down the pump and i even seal those holes). The return line will fill the bucket and keep the pump cool if the levels in the tank are below the top of the bucket.

Build a nice staggered 2 walbro setup that works like a bucket and you could retire IMO.

 

I'd love to see either a module to accommodate two pumps without cavatation in the fuel cell (not to mention better routing of the lines, etc) or a single pump big enough to support 1000hp (a 510lph anyone? ).

 

AGREED.......... WE need a nice dual set-up, or a single pump set-up for 1000 rwhp.....

 

That would be great. I have to treat 1/4 tank as empty with my twin pumps so I dont run a risk of going lean
