Mark's 1G Winter Projects

I can definitely see the point of running just a single fuel pump. I have seen too many stories of people losing one pump and popping an engine because one of the two went out. It runs fine until high boost, then all hell breaks loose as it goes super lean.

I know when I was looking at what pump to put in my car I was looking at the A1000 and there were quite a few bad stories about it so I went with an 044 planning to add a second one later, but never got that far. The eliminator looks like a slightly bigger A1000, but I have no idea if they have any better parts inside.

Jay racing 044 pull less amps and flow more than the original Bosch 044.

Plus you have the V2 and it has a fuel safe or lean cut if one pump we're to fail.

Wait I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since MAP sponsors you they should give you the pump or pumps you want for free!!!!!! :spin: :spin: :spin:

The a1000 and Eliminator look the same, the Eliminator is black and has a bigger inlet.

I know another guy in a mustang ran the Eliminator on the street with no voltage controller for 20,000 miles.

My pump is wired up on a 30amp relay and fuse with no issues.

I looked at the magnafuel pumps and the few I saw were limited on Max pressure to 80psi. With base fuel pressure of 45-50psi and 45-50psi of boost that's a 100psi of fuel pressure.

I figured if my Eliminator is not enough then a BAP will be installed.

And MAP will get you a great price on what ever route you go, maybe ask them for any other ideas.

I had a good weekend, worked on the car on Saturday for about 8 hrs. I co-located all of my gauges in the fabricated instrument cluster.

I’m going to cover up all of the old gauge location holes. I have not wired everything yet. About the wiring, I removed all of the unnecessary wiring that was just dead weight. I left all of the critical ECU functions and lighting wiring (headlights/parking, brake, turn signals, and reverse lights). I weighed everything after I was done removing it and it came up to 43 pounds!

I also picked up a 7/8” tandem master cylinder to remove the power brake booster too, I don’t know what the booster weighs, but if anything it will clear up the engine bay. I'm kicking around the idea of having the engine bay painted too, since almost everything has been removed.

Nice, very impressive weight saving

[Goat Blower]

Yeah, I remember just getting rid of the ABS pump and wiring was an easy 50 lbs. Every bit makes a difference.

Nice progress. I'd say go for it, paint the engine bay. I was personally on the fence a lot lately about cleaning things up on my car, getting things coated, etc. And once they were done, there was no more question and I was so glad I did it!

[Super Bleeder!!]

Paint it up FOSHOOO

[scheides]

43 pounds! Goddamn, I didn't relize you had that much more to rip out of this thing!

[Mark Leasure]

Hell Yes!
I know the 1G's are horrible for wiring efficiencies; I was kind of shocked when I weighed everything out! Even more weight is going to come out of it. I haven’t even touched the doors yet, the factory crash beams are still there too! I cannot remember what the weight was the last time it was on the scale at BIR with me in it, but I know it was in the 27XX range and I’m about 210 with all the safety gear/helmet??? I should borrow someone's corner scales to find out for sure, but 43lbs so far is not bad!!!
