fuel system help?
 
hey ive never done anything with a fuel system so ive decided to upgrade it since i should have well over 500rwhp, gonna go with 42lb injectors, these fuel rails, and an a1000 pump, and a 10 gallon fuel cell, i know i need to vent it but im not sure how to do so, and i dotn really know how much hose or what kind i need to be legal at the track, and i dont really kniow how to set up the return line either, any help is appreciated since im pretty much clueless

I am running a similar setup but with a 2.5 gallon cell under the hood. A1000, bypass regulator, 42# injectors. I will get some pics when I get a chance to get to the car if you're not in a hurry.

I notched the hatch area and mounted a 10 gal. fuel cell, mounted a A-1000 pump below the tank . I ran the vent line out of the car along the bottomside of the tank . If the tank is mounted in the hatch area you must have a bulkhead between the hatch and the driver compartment.

stock tank w/ stock pump or walbro
fed to a 2 gallon surge tank
w/A1000 pump feeding injectors
= less work & never run out of fuel

i am trying to cut as much weight as possible and hae plans to turbo it next year, and since it wont see the street much i didnt see the need to keep the stock tank

no prob, But its always nice to be able to fill up w/out having to open the hatch to fill fuel cell.

Turbo done right can be run on 93-94 octane and use meth for higher boost apps or race fuel.
Mine is a twin turbo setup w/stock tank & surge. Its a plastic tank, how much wieght you gonna lose....15-20lbs?
