If you do buy, just be careful who is selling. No telling if there is bad product still on someone's shelf ready to ship.


Dont make me feel stupid in my own build thread bls !


Would be purchasing from WS6 store, seem to reputable.

Perhaps Racetronix can provide info to determine the manufacture date? WS6 store may not stock the parts and it's possible they come right from Racetronix.

One of those probably. I used the lt1 specific harness since my wiring melted the insulation off and grounded out inside the tank. New wiring, never an issue again. Maybe just get the universal one?

Also, just pony up to the aeromotive. Great reputation for fuel pumps. Why chance it with guys that have had bad runs? Clearly they are looking to save themselves money, which may just leave you stranded.

Link provided led me to injectors.:nick::nick::nick:

Ill have no problem spending for the Aeromotive, i just need to know what to get

sweetbmxrider 01-06-2017 12:45 PM

:rofl: same, just search bulkhead connector on their site.

What tank/sending unit do you have? Is there a pump on it?

Bunch of shens in this thread that I had no issue with. You're prob ****ed doe. Where's smash????

i have a stock tank/pump/sending unit from a 01 Z28

LS1ow 01-06-2017 01:50 PM

also,

am i going to need new fuel lines and FPR?

stolen from other thread:
1) - Aftermarket fuel pressure regulator since the stock one in-tank won't be able to keep up.
(2) - Upgraded wiring harness with new bulkhead connector Racetronix posted above.
(3) - Need to run a -6an return line to the return port on the bucket and remove the stock regulator.
(4) - Need to either run a new -8AN feed line or you can use the stock line and find a fitting to cap off the port on the T junction where the lines split apart near the fuel filter and return line.

Really did not want to spend the extra money on AN fittings and braided lines...

also, were you able to maintain the venturi system so i dont have to worry about running low and burning the pump ?

If you have a plastic tank with the bucket, it doesn't really matter which pump you use since the pump is connected to the sender by a corrugated plastic hose. The hose is slightly too long and needs to be routed specifically so that it doesn't kink when you collapse the bucket during install

LS1ow 01-06-2017 04:46 PM

All these variables are really making me lean towards a plain walbro 255 with a hotwire

Knock on wood, no issues with this setup in both cars.

then reuse the stock system up to the rails. You should already have 6an fittings with that ebay kit you picked up for the rail crossover and adapter to hardline.

That's why I planned on doing. Running stock fuel lines from pump up to the quick connect to AN adapter that came with the fuel rails.


Any need for a different pressure regulator ? Or a different fuel filter over the stock one?

Will prob throw a mechanical gauge on the rail similar to you did on the Mystery MaSShyn

KirkEvil 01-06-2017 07:10 PM

Stock reg and filter is fine for your setup

LTb1ow 01-06-2017 07:58 PM

I have a semi functional hotwire kit laying in garage beggz

sweetbmxrider 01-07-2017 07:06 AM

Didn't realize ls1's couldn't handle all teh fuel pump PAH! All's I needed was new wiring, everything else was stock. Pray you get a good pump brah

The pump pickup is the offset, not the outlet. Not sure if that is what you are thinking. You can make either work, but you'll have to lightly hack the top of the bucket for the connector to pass through, if you follow me.

Fuel Lines
 
Next Question....

since i wont be running any evap stuff on the car, i can just eliminate that second line in this pairing correct ? just use the fuel one.

You dont need the heat shield, The stock line is plastic under that rubber

KirkEvil 01-07-2017 01:20 PM

Actually, dont use either lines. I think the fittings that came with the rail kit you got had male fitting to adapt to them, but its cleaner to go right to the hardline so the stock plastic lines dont kink.

You can put the crossover line in the back so you can run the gauge you had mentioned on the other rail.

LS1ow 01-07-2017 07:15 PM

That's how I want to do it, with the gauge right in the front. Even though the crossover up front looks good.


Kirk what's that reservoir on the passenger shock tower? Coolant ?

Cross over out back is the way to go for a clean look, that pic is just what came with the vengeance racing kit when I got the intake and rail combo. and yes, that reservoir was the overflow
