Fuel Pump

Basically an inline acts like a sucker.
A gross but good explination is this.....
You have a long hose filled with water and you are blowing at the other end......its very difficult so your buddy gets on the other side and starts sucking at the other end of the hose. This accelerates the flow of water and allows for you to not blow as hard.......I told you it was gross
Maybe if Heidi Klum or somebody else was on the line helping you it wouldnt be so bad

That all depends on what they ate...
can anyone recommend a good inline fuel pump? Something that would be suitable for a Spool Stage 3 kit.
I have an opportunity to pick up a Porche Bosche inline fuel pump (70GPH) for about $130 USD. Too big? Or just right?

I couldn't figure out what to do. . .as I too wanted an inline pump. In the end I figured there wasn't too much point in saving a few dollars now and having more hassle, so I called up Keith and ordered the Pierburg. Rush delivery, got it Friday and guess what. . .still sitting on my kitchen counter. . .but that's tomorrow's project.
Fun, fun, boy do I hate messing with the fuel system.
And Keith, how mean, you send the fuel removal tool with the kits, but not in my "bag 18" or whatever it is. . .good thing I already have one, but I thought I was going to have an extra one.
Anyway, as I said, you can find a cheaper pump, hopefully the right size (although I have no idea what that is), then get all your fittings and hose and clamps and all that crap or just get the "ready to go" setup from FM.
I can appreciate the days when I would spend a day busting my ass to save a couple bucks, but those days are long gone along with many other things. So, for a little extra you get to take it easy and enjoy your car a little longer.
I'll let you know how the install goes tomorrow.

Well, I got my inline pump in and I'm still running stoich at WOT according to the Rspeed A/F. So, I guess it wasn't an issue of the stock pump not making the grade.
I don't know what to do now. I can be rich at partial throttle but I go stoich at WOT. But, on the bright side, I don't go lean.
So, I'm guessing that I still have a problem? Bueller. . .Bueller?

hmmmmm:wtf:
ok so the pump is ruled out, the fmu has been replaced and you are still showing a lean condition.
Ok well atleast we are narrowing things down here.
Perhaps the a/f meter is not monitoring wot affectively. I guess we are back to square 1. We will need an egt or wideband to verify what your wot reading is once and for all.
Do you hear any ping at all?
And if the car was running at stoich you would most likely get some stuttering or hiccuping at wot since stoich is considered to be very lean at wot.
We will figure this thing out

I doubt I could hear the ping even if I didn't have the wastegate dumping to atmosphere.
Man, what a bummer. Car doesn't seem to stutter or hiccup at WOT, pull real well (compared to pre-turbo of course). I can't tell anything is wrong. That's the killer, seems to be good except for the A/F reading.
I assume the other autometer EGT probes aren't worth a s*** either, right? Just sucks to have to get a new bung on the wastepipe and such, as that means tearing down the exhaust. Trying to find an easy answer, doubt there is one though.

how did you install the fuel pump??? and where did you install the probe for the egt? is it and egt or pyrometer from autometer? the guys down here in hawaii said i would get an egt but gave me a pyrometer, hopefully itll do the same.
Re: lean side
listen i think i may know why you are having this problem.
and the good news is it may not be a problem
you see the A/F meter you said gets its reference from the stock o2 sensor inline
well if thats the case then if the voltage clamp that spoolin sold you is also on the same o2 then you are reading the same as what your ecu is reading
so in other words what you want to happen in the system IS happening the way it is suppossed to be.
youneed to check fuel pressure like i said before to confirm this andto really confirm it you need a different feed to reference from like a seperate wideband 02 just for the purpose of seing what A./F ratio you are REALLY running
hope this helps if it doest sorry i tried!!

lol....my question got hijacked.....
So let me try again, will a Porche Bosche inline fuel pump (70GPH) for about $130 USD be to big? or just right? (spool stage3)

used....from a good friend. thanks for the reply.

Seems to make sense...and I was wondering myself about the accuracy of the reading if the stock O2 sensor was being used.
BEAVIS: Spring for a wideband. Better to be safe then sorry. I hear you can pick them up foir $250.
lol....I appreciated the quick response from you on that Kooldino...but the inline part was still up in the air.
