I have a bigger intank pump, and running pw surge with duel walbro 460 pumps on eflex. my pressure sits on 70 at idle. Can anybody give me any tips on getting this down. I cant seem to figure it out.

gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,751 Member For: 13y 4m 5d Posted 29/07/14 12:59 AM Share Posted 29/07/14 12:59 AM Correct me if I am wrong. The return line off your rail goes to the reg then from the reg back to your surge? If so it sounds like you need to upgrade or modify your return line from the surge to the fuel tank. I modified the intank pump return by removing all the restrictions in the swirl pot and got the pressure a little lower but 10psi is optimistic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got stock return size with a holley 12-1800 and fpr1200. But I stage the second pump off a hobbs. Set the base fuel pressure with the vac line off the reg at 4 bar/58.5psi and see if you have enough adjustment in the reg. If you dont then you are limited by the size of the return most likely, staging might help but it is really only trying to cover up for lack of return size.

I would be looking at the return line from the reg to the surge tank, make that a -8! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collierj Member 56 Member For: 11y 6m 19d Gender: Male Posted 29/07/14 02:09 AM Author Share Posted 29/07/14 02:09 AM yes it is. I installed it exactly how the instructions came from pw. then gave it to tuner for a tune. but we just cant seem to get it down. I might try the vaccum line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I run an -6 line back to my surge and and standard return to tank and can get down to 2 bar minimum. Twin 044's as well Edited 29/07/14 02:18 AM by gaz097 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to control both pumps simultaneously....if each pump has a separate feed line anyway! Edited 29/07/14 03:33 AM by IH8TOADS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
