I'd love to see that!!
I say run the pump at 45-50 base and see what happens.

Re: Project V8killa
The 450 from what I read is exactly the same as the 400. The only difference is they made everything sealed for e85 fuel.
Yeah the plate that came with the car said V8KLLR. So I figured the thread topic would fit well.
Thanks man you have 2 awesome cars

Re: Project V8killa
Looks like it does flow 5-10% more depending on pressure. Standard Walbro 400:
New 450 pump:

Re: Project V8killa
Yeah I know it said with a BAP it could support 900 hp or something like that. But that's cool that it flows more than the 400.

So you think I should just get a an an line back to the tank and leave the feed alone.
Thanks guys for the help already. I wanna really put the money where it's needed. So tgis is definitely helpful.
As far as power 600hp on Shanes dyno would be cool

No. I think you should leave all the stock lines in place. The bottleneck is at the top of the fuel filter (in your engine bay). That banjo bolt is the bottleneck. All I would do is use an aftermarket Feed Line (from the filter to fuel rail) that eliminates that banjo bolt. Then if you want some extra reassurance, you can replace the fuel filter with a higher flowing one, but that may not be neccessary. Also an after market FPR if you haven't already done so since you'll be moving a lot of fuel, it'll overrun the stocker at idle.
Running a line all the way to the tank may help a little, but I think it's not completely neccessary and that money/time/effort could be better applied elsewhere.

Re: Project V8killa
Since Jungy cut the feed and coupled it back together because he didn't run the Bosch, I'd either buy a new stock hose or run AN. One of the things I would've changed last winter if I kept it. Relying on alligator clamps for fuel hose isn't exactly ideal.

Re: Project V8killa
I already an aeromotive FPR, and -6an lines to from filter to rail/rail to fpr. So once i get the car up and see what Im dealing with an lines might be the cheapest thing to do. Im not starting a car with a cut in the fuel line period.
Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Project V8killa
If you already have an AFPR and upgraded feed, then I wouldn't touch a thing.

Re: Project V8killa
I guess I'm getting confused. Maybe I just suck at reading, but I didn't hear any mention of something wrong with your fuel line until blackawdtsi said something, and I had no idea what he was talking about since I hadn't heard you mention it.
If your stock line is fubar'd, then yeah replace it with whatever you want. But a normal stock fuel line should be plenty. The I.D. of the stock lines are pretty close to the I.D. of a -6 line. So just go with whatever works. I'm pretty sure Kerry on here (95talonracer) has somme 2G parts cars, you might be able to swipe the line off it and might be the easiest and most cost effective route to go.
Good luck with it!

Re: Project V8killa
Yeah I'll have to look into to fixing it that's for sure. That's really the only thing you missed though. He mentioned the fuel line has been cut and alligator clamped together.
Thanks for your help so far! Always appreiciate it

Re: Project V8killa
450 lph and GCS3 cams showed uo today!
Still waiting on custom pistons. Once I hear there in I can pull the trigger on a turbo. Also Im ditching the magnus v5 and going with a jmfab race. Half the cost and probably will be more than what I need. So ill be ordering than tomorrow.
So this weekend I will be pulling the grey out of the car and installing all the black interior I have. Door cards/dash/handles/center console/rear speaker covers. Will also be wiring all my gauges so I will just have to hook up when motor is in.

I already have one like it. Not sure if its actually his or not Tom said something about it being one of the first made. I'll contact him and drop it off to see if it will work. Or is fixable.

Re: Project V8killa
One of maybe. I had the first made, it's on Little Andy Nash's 1g now. Though he really isn't around much more to comment on it.

Re: Project V8killa
I'm hoping to dyno test one of these this year. I didn't get a chance with the old car I was trying to do way too much in a short time.
Plus I want to do a good back to back test for him.

Re: Project V8killa
Yeah it would be cool to see. Maybe John will peak in here and comment on the manifold. Otherwise I'll send him a pm in a few days and see what he thinks.

Re: Project V8killa
So I got some work done and hopefully have the interior 100% by sunday. My pistons and rods hopefully will show up this week so I can run the new parts to Gosh and get my short block done in the next two weeks. Im gonna bring my head to so he can check everything over with the new cams I bought.
More parts I picked up today
2G carbon hood
Tenzo R red seats w/brackets I know there not the best brand but they are light and function perfect for what I need. Also these hold some sentimental value as these were one of the first things I bought for my red GSX back in 2005. Really the main reason why I picked them up.
Thanks Lor for the parts
ill post pics of interior this weekend. PG is closing fast and I have alot to do
