Fuel System Upgrades for Blow Thru carb with Turbo's

[dieselgeek]

This is completely a false statement on so many levels..........

So are you saying you agree with what he said??.....

What bullshit!!! If you run an A1000 pump on a smallblock chevy with 700hp at the flywheel, especially on a low pressure fuel systme wiht a bypass regulator, YOU ARE RUNNING TOO MUCH PUMP. TOO MUCH PUMP OVERHEATS THE FUEL.

I'm not sure what it takes to get through your retarded skull, and since you never even built a running car with an A1000 pump why would we care.... but regardless -

Why would a manufacturer make any pump smaller than an A1000 if they weren't necessary? Why would Aeromotive make a "Fuel Pump Controller" if there was no need to slow down the pump?


Alex, we all know that you come on here and say the exact opposite of everyone in the hopes that 1/100 of the time you can make someone look stupid. The bottom line here is that NOBODY wants you on this forum. You don't build cars, you never did, yet you INSIST on interrupting every single tech thread, trying to pretend you know what you're talking about.

What's it like to be hated by every single person on a forum because you are a total jackass? Don't answer that. Just do us all a favor and go the hell away. Nobody wants you in here.

Again you talk out your ass, because you've never ran an A1000 with a carb........ And in my email to Aeromotive I told them I had a 650hp motor even asked if I was going overkill and if it would cause problems...........

Fact is you Don't Know.............Your just trying to look like the smartest guy in the room.......

And 2000 hours at full speed and voltage and not causing any hot fuel handling issues on only 3 gallons of gas pretty much blows anything you have to say out of the water..........What you don't think they don't endurance test these pumps........You need to crawl out of the rock you live under...........

Honestly DG, I pegged you way smarter than this...........

I visit with many of the Aeromotive engineers because they live and work in my back yard. You sent an email in to their "tech" (read: SALES) department and like any other good sales department, they told you whatever you need to know to BUY AN AEROMOTIVE PUMP. Meanwhile, everyone in this thread that's actually USED an A1000 pump contradicts what you are claiming. You can keep on posting Alex - every one gets you closer to a group ban, PLEASE keep it up!

Fact is you Don't Know.............Your just trying to look like the smartest guy in the room.......

I don't have to try when I have you to compare to Alex. Some of us are professionals in this industry. The entire problem with the internet is that it allows guys like you to pretend to be on the level of professionals - even though you haven't ever once built or even ridden in a car that runs any of the equipment that you are pretending to know so well. You refuse to answer questions we ask about your experience, instead changing the subject. You are a troll, doing your best to ruin threads like this, when you can't appear to be the "smart guy." Way to be an immature jackoff.

And 2000 hours at full speed and voltage and not causing any hot fuel handling issues on only 3 gallons of gas pretty much blows anything you have to say out of the water..........What you don't think they don't endurance test these pumps........You need to crawl out of the rock you live under...........

This is close to being the stupidest thing you ever posted. 2000 hours on a test bench? what "fuel handling" issues would there be if this test doesn't even include a running engine? Once again you fell for "marketing tricks" - why would a "test" care what the fuel temperature is when there's no engine to tell you if the hot fuel is good or bad? once again, your lack of experience with a running engine allows you to believe anything that a sharp marketeer tells you. "The engine has NO problems with the fuel that's been running through a pump and regulator for 2000 hours (because there was no engine)"

You had me pegged "smarter" because you have no idea what "smart" is. Go ahead and make fun of me because I don't fall for stupid marketing tricks. What an idiot. Can I pay you $1000 to go the hell away?

[TC]

I got to ask, do you really believe your own BullShit??......... You could have save a lot of time and not posted as I didn't read one word........... Give it a rest Buttercup.........At this point it's just stupid..........

Agreeing or not...that is the question...

TC...
DG says not to run the too big of a pump...
Do I agree...YES!

My experience in running too big of a pump results in flooding and an engine refusing to start when needed Keep in mind, I am very hands on in the final settings on BOTH of my kids engines, in spite of not being able to hear one thing... What I do hear, you will JUMP! and those engines often ( more so than not) run without water! Not by choice.. Also to keep a motor running after 30 to 50 mph full throttle hits takes some figuring out and still be able to "slap shift" from F to R and keep a tranny alive

One 327 is going on 5 years in some really tuff hitting shows. (invitational of PNW's best builders/drivers) and the same tranny... At least 15 car bodies including a 6300 lb IMPERIAL..
The other is 3 years old and built a bit hotter...same tranny been in several cars before being mated to this combo...

All my past is irrevalent to this thread....

I am trying E-85 this year...

FI is just too exposed to run in a derby car (or isnt it?)

So yes... Too big pump= bad news.

[dieselgeek]

I'll agree EFI is probably a bad idea for a derby - but derbies are freaking cool!!! Bob you should start a project thread and post up some pics.

Derby

I'll agree EFI is probably a bad idea for a derby - but derbies are freaking cool!!! Bob you should start a project thread and post up some pics.

I have considered it... Usual reaction from people (car folks or not) is :ARE YOU F'N NUTS? I will post what my son has already on a derby site... Some stuff stays "secret" sorry..

[Mater]

i think derbies are cool do to rules and restrictions you derby racers get pretty creative.

[JeffMcKC]

Lived in Iowa for two years, the derby and truck pulls, dirt racing and Eddieville had the year covered. I have to admit the derby was cool, till we got kicked out for a hit we sold the car in the parking lot on the way out. 2 of us did the work the driver way crazy LOL

[CDMBill]

I've been to to few demo derby's, never competed but it sure looked like fun. Another great example of smart people doing well by figuring out how to win and not telling everyone how they are doing it.

To the OP, FWIW, my car has ran an A1000 and bypass reg on a blow through for about ten years. Never had an issue so far. Most drives are less than 30 miles but have gone 200+ mile trips. 16 gallon fuel cell. Usually run less than 10 psi and under 700hp.

Scott Liggett: I know what you mean about being concerned with the switch in our Cali gas. I think they can go all the way up to 15% ethanol in our pump gas. I just put a Walbro 255 in the Mustang, only because it was an opportunity deal.

My problem with the Walbro was when we used it with E-85. In that case, the alcohol softened the adhesives in the pump and it failed.

We were looking at Aeromotive and SX pumps as a replacement, but found a great deal on a Weldon.

Scott, it is really important to decide to whether you're going to go EFI or stay with carb. If you look at the pressure/production curves on the pumps, you can see the difference in the delivery of any pump at the carb v EFI operating pressures. I should amend that to say that I think its important, others might not get into that level of detail. Also, be very aware of the possible need to upside your electrical system. We lost an engine when we toasted the pump wiring and leaned out.

Is there a premium fuel avaiable down there that has NO alky at all?
Here in OR, we have what is called "clear" and is only a point or two more octane, but has no alky.
I use that in my chain saws and lawn mowers as well as the less compressioned (stock) motors in our derby cars.
The bad thing is the stations that carry it is few and far between.. Yes it is a little more $$.
I have not had to rebuild the small carbs since I started using that gas...
Be a little spendy on a DD, but if you are already running premium....

[BBR]

I have an A1000 with a carb and a weird fuel system. Why? Hell if I know. lol

Because it WORKS for you?
Could you "improve" it? Maybe, maybe not
