A1000s like to burn up, from what i've seen of them on friends cars. If this is a track only car then no worries.
Mild street use.
Hopefully they last a couple thousand miles (like 5years)
Bleeder is right, for some reason, these do not like street use(they have burned up pretty quick). I'd consider possibly switching to something else. Just a thought.

Nice, I can't wait to see more... though I'm pretty sure it's been done before... Still cool though.
Link? As far as we know (and we have searched around a LOT) there has NEVER been a 4g63 powered RX7. I do know that Shearer Fab has an FC in the works and I have heard of someone else that is planning on twin turboing an FC, but have yet to see any RX7 move powered by a DSM motor...

This car will see the street for maybe two nights per month in the summer, and only to head about 10 miles to university and back ;) We originally wanted to use the new Fuelab pumps, but they are still in R&D. As soon as they are produced we may have a sponsorship and ditch these anyways.

I've seen one powered by a sr20 or ka24 but never a mitsu motor.

It says in the instructions for the A1000 fuel pump that anything more then 30min of run time you need their voltage regulator.

Probably because unless you're at WOT the pump can't move enough cool gas through itself and reduce heat. Just a guess. Go with three walbros. They don't have "bro" in the name for nothing.

that pic was taken 3 years ago, I think it is running now but with my slow internet I can't do much searching now. I'll find out more later.
