boost-a-pump ?
Okay to those of you running a kenne bell boost-a-pump with dual fuel pumps which one are you running? Do you really need the dual pump one or will the single pump version work? Any info on a boost-a-pump in general when referring to a dsm or evo would be lovely. Most the info I can find online is about fords. thanks!

Re: boost-a-pump ?
I have been running one for almost 2 years on my evoX with no issues. Ditched the dialy knob box and soldered a RCA plug in the end to keep it at 18.5v or whatever is max whenever it's in boost. It's a great way to get more out of the fuel system w/o having to spend money on an aftermarket rail or FPR setup which really just complicates things.
We do have the walbro 400 pump available to us now which was never an option, but if you want to make 450+whp (dyno dynamics) reliably then you gotta start making some decisions and this is an easy one. I think I remember Shane@DB telling me that the single version is only for old mustangs and stuff with really weak stock pumps. I just bought the one he told me to get. Kai was asking me about mine and every time I just refer people to Shane as it was his idea in the first place and he usually keeps them in stock :) |

Why not run dual walbro 450's? Might be cheaper and more reliable than a double pump BAP. FWIW, I had one of those 310 pumps and it barely outflowed my 255.

Re: boost-a-pump ?
I have a kenne bell one. Brad had it in his car and then Tom. Worked great. I don't think I'm gonna need it.

Re: boost-a-pump ?
Can you even put dual 450s in.There pretty wide compared to the 255 pumps. It was a bitch just getting one to fit a 2G hanger

Re: boost-a-pump ?
Hmmm it does look quite a bit wider but it looks like there is more room in a 1g sending unit than a 2g so with my sending unit being a modified stock unit it might be possible

Sounds good! ps. I still have that clutch tool for you. I haven't dropped it off because the last couple times I've been up there it's either been 3am or snowing when I left. I should be working on the car this weekend so I'll try and drop it off saturday |
Re: boost-a-pump ?
No worries.

Re: boost-a-pump ?
Yea 1g has a ton more room to work with, you could fit them both.
If you do go with a BAP, make sure you get the dual version. Per KB's site, only the single version is adjustable, the dual version is fixed at max voltage when triggered. |
Re: boost-a-pump ?
Stole this from tuners but sounds like he likes it. He's got a 1G and is buddy's with ostar.
I replaced the hanger in the drivers side of the tank that holds the other fuel level sensor with an additional fuel pump hanger so there is a pump in each side of the "saddle" style tank. From there, I simply did each hanger like you would a single pump.....welded -6 bungs in each hanger so I have two -6 feed lines that Y to a -8 up to the inline -8 filter, rail, afpr, and a -6 return that Y's back to each hanger so each side is fed and returned equally. Also, this eliminates the silly factory siphon system. Both pumps are hardwired individuallly with relays. Aside from welding the feed and return bungs to the fuel hangers, this is pretty much a straight drop in solution. Honestly you could do this with even the FACTORY connections with some simple adapter fittings and Y's. Why nobody else has done this yet is completely beyond me. It was super easy and really is almost an OEM feel. |

Not sure I'm completely following what he did. Its late lol. Here's a pic of my hanger. So if I don't do the bap dual 450s or maybe even cut the difference between the 450s and 310s and do the walbro 400 since it's quite a bit cheaper than the 450. Idk lol

Re: boost-a-pump ?
I guess one of the main reasons I was considering the bap over different pumps was last time the car was on the dyno I was having a big voltage drop that was causing a large drop in fuel pressure. what should be mainly do to a dying alternator. Shane gave me a list of things to do to help prevent voltage drop to the pumps. Which I should have taken care of that list. I guess the idea of the bap was for a little added security in preventing any type of voltage drop to the pumps

Re: boost-a-pump ?
If you ask me the major issue you will have in your setup is the turbo.
Its well known in DSM land that a 4294 will be good for around 40psi, anything over that and its a dead end. This is where the 4202 shines, before ~38psi they are about the same. But the 4202 will keep making power above the 40+psi mark. I would monitor fuel pressure and see how bad its dropping as you up the boost. Then if you need more fuel pressure a pair of Walbro 400lph pumps would be my choice over a BAP. ~John |
