You have a pump in the other side of the saddle tank right?

Friend told me fuel starvation was a big problem in any saddle tank configuration community when you up demands with higher horsepower over OEM, simply adding another pump in the non-pump side with both feeding the engine is a fool proof cure, it has been for me....Haven't had one fuel starve issue.....My fuel return line which isn't OEM as we are return less, feeds the bucket on the driver side......Both pumps feed into a Y that feeds the engine.....There is actual dual pump kits for the BMW guys.Either one of my pumps can independently supply the 60psi pressure to run my LS which is set by the pressure regulator.

Hey @cf6mech. Any chance you know What the choke diameter is on the headers from Vorshlag?

The Four Pipes merge into one and it's smaller than 3". It then expands into 3".

I am seeing this quite a bit as I am looking at collectors. Starting to think just cutting the headers at the end of the merge and transitioning to 3" may be the way to go instead of just trying to make it 3" straight off the bat.

I.E. 1 7/8 to 2.5" Merge to 3" Outlet From Vibrant

Not really sure Dustin, would have to get underneath the car to check it out.

DustinS · 04-13-2017, 10:14 AM

Fuel Components came in. Still waiting on the FPR by-Pass which is due for delivery Saturday, and fuel line which is suppose to ship first of next month (summit doesn't seem to stock Vibrant Hose). With the 25' I have should cover a feed and return set-up. Few other things trickling in.

Lots of Vibrant fittings.

Well. One of the final pieces of the puzzle.

So excited

DustinS · 04-14-2017, 11:46 AM

Oh S***. Good Friday has been amazing....

Dialkyl · 04-14-2017, 11:53 AM

That is a giant offer. I would have politely declined, but that is nuts.

Any idea on when you start yours? Engine is still a couple weeks out if it was anything like mine.

Edit: Realized I never posted the pictures for the Clutch master cylinder (At least I couldn't find them)

Difference in length and thread pitch
