That looks pretty sweet! Cant wait to see that thing running again.

Did you cut the hump down and make a filler door in the trunk then? Looks good, I might have to pony up for a cell.

the 044 pump in some Honda application testing was only able to support 50-75whp more then a sinlge Walbro 255.

If your going threw all the hassle of sumping or putting a cell in why not just get a external pump and be done?

I dont think the single 044 pump will be enough and I dont think he thinks so either. I think he mentioned it in this thread that he was ready for another another one if need be.

The 044 is an external pump and I will put in a 2nd if I need to. I don't plan on going with a monstrous setup, so I am not real worried about it. My next focus is going to be making the car more streetable again.

So when you say the 044 is an external pump does that mean you have another one? I thought you went with a cell and the single pump?

I have a buddy feeding a 044 with a in tank 255 and I hope it is enough. Bring on that E85

My 044 is an external pump, and it is just that pump, there is no in-tank pump.

You can run the Bosch 044 intank, but everyone uses it as an external.

Jet: If/when you run 2, where will you install the second? Right at the tank?

**JET** · 04-30-2007

I will run them parallel, that gives the best performance gain. I will reroute the return line towards the front of the tank to get the warmer gas farther from the outlets. I will use the 2nd outlet on the cell for the 2nd pump, I am now using it for the return line.

rst95eclipse · 04-30-2007

Will you run one of those distribution blocks (2 into 1)? I've been looking at doing the same with mine in the future. The only thing that really gets me thinking is one might overtake the other (be it an air pocket, etc) and kill it. I'm sure it's been done before, but I haven't researched the issue. Install looks good.

**JET** · 04-30-2007

Use a nitrous Y in reverse, it gives a smoother transition.

**JET** · 04-30-2007

Well, I got the car started and idling well. I was in the engine bay and heard a low whooshing noise. I start checking out piping and found that my Spearco FMIC has a 10" long weld blown out! This would explain why it was running like crap for the last dyno day!! Maybe I can get to that this weekend and get it welded up.

I would say send it back but I am sure you would be better off just welding yourself. Where did it blow out?

**JET** · 04-30-2007

It blew out on the bottom end tank on the engine side, right in the middle.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 04-30-2007

I heard the car idle today. Sounds pretty badass

FattyBoomBatty · 04-30-2007

Sounds like it'll be a winner.

**JET** · 05-01-2007

Here is a pic from the back. Click on it to blow it up.

Pushit2.0 · 05-01-2007

If your IC cracked once I would re-weld all the joints on the end tanks that are longer then a few inches, or it will crack again. It takes a long time to grind out the welds and clean everything up to lay down a new good weld. Did you get your Tig torch cables fixed?

Hahaha Jet you are funny. Not a good way to say something about a fuel cell. And yes that looks very sweet ....

**JET** · 05-01-2007

Yeah, I was planning on redoing all 4 welds that are pretty long. No point in having to take it off again! My TIG is up and running again.

I thought I might get a comment about the blow it up part
