I'm sure this has been covered before but could not find anything when I searched...

I am in the process of swapping an lq4 into my 98 k1500. I am debating adding a turbo as well and would like to know if the stock fuel pump with the corvette filter would handle a fair amount of boost. Would it handle say 550 hp? I don't have a clue how much pressure it takes to supply a decent set of injectors.

If not, how much power would it be able to supply?

Thanks

 

Oh, and I posted this here instead of the fuel systems forum because I figured you tuning guys would have a better idea of fuel consumption and requirements.

Mods feel free to move this if necessary.

 

Most from what I've read on here is 450-500 rwhp . I'm no expert but that's what I've read on here. Something to consider is many supercharger kits will come with bigger injectors and a higher volume fuel pump to handle a supercharger making 3-8psi. So if the experts who make superchargers think its a good idea I would have to agree.

 

I had a walbro 255 when I dyno end in my sig,at its max.

I now have an aeromotive 340lph, I wish I would have gotten a walbro 400lph, but wasn't aware of it till after I did my 340.

 

Is the obs fuel pumps the same as the nbs pumps?

 

Ok, thanks guys. So far it sounds like I will be maxing it out or at least very close.

Good question, anyone know?

 

ls1 made 441 N/A and i hit it with a 150 shot no problem with the stock pump.
