Here's how the fuel pump assembly ended up. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. You wouldn't know it wasn't all stock unless you looked inside the bucket and saw the pump itself. The corrugated tube was a b*tch to get on....until I got my heat gun out. But no worries about rubber hose becoming soft or blowing out.

 

Looks pretty clean. What pump?

 

Walbro 450

 

Well, months after getting the kit on, I finally got this bitch WOT! Feels good. Saw a max of 8.5 psi and could only go up to 4900 rpm due to loss of traction and the street I was on. I had timing set up ultra low from when I initially put the boost tune in, so it was at 7.5* as high up as I went. I'm looking to up it to the 12-14* range next.

Also, word to the wise, put oetiker clamps on the in tank fuel pump hose even if using the stock style corrugated tube. If you look at the pic above, there's no clamp where the tube connects to the bulkhead. I didn't think it needed one as it was a mother to get over the barb and the stock tube has no clamps. I did have a clamp on the fuel pump side. Drove the truck about 5 miles and it died on the highway. The hose had popped off.

 

S/P VHOs.




I going to install the eboost street on Saturday and I may take this thing to a local "dyno day" Saturday night. I'd love to get in the 12-14 psi range but I really dont know how far this single 450 can take me.

 

Replacing busted up 11 year old motor mounts with welded up stock mounts (solids).

Will this affect the knock sensors?

 

Did you weld up you old, worn mounts? Looks like the alignment is off on your welded one.

 

No, the welded up ones were good OEM replacements. The alignment is perfect on the welded ones. The old one in the picture above is the one out of alignment due to the busted rubber inside.

 

What did you weld and why?
