you should not need NOS to hit 10.99...just a single line alky kit and everything else working right if the turbo is the right size....NOS is one of those complications that can end up costing you a new engine.  Stop pipe dreaming and keep it real.  A 340 is plenty of fuel for such.  No need to try to deviate from what is known to work.

You don't need a larger return line if the fuel pressure adjusts to 43# at idle.

i guess i can try it (Denso) and see what happens. worst case scenario i end up buying another pump or redoing the fuel lines.

Side note - The Walbro may work but from reading that thread at TB.com i got the impression that they (walbro) new of the problem and 1-continued to sell the pumps. 2-DID NOT issue a RECALL on a known shitty product till AFTER the boards started buzzing about the pumps failing. That said if i can avoid buying a Walbro i will if i can't i can't.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I would not add NOS to the mix, many more $$$$ issues you would have to address.  Tuning alchy and NOS to come in at higher boost will be  :013: :013:

If your pump and lines were good I would say go for it. But you need a new pump. The price difference of a larger pump and lines are a lot cheaper then NOS, headgasket changes or a blown motor. Build for a 1/2 second faster for a safety margin.

The N2O is not my main focus right now as it will NOT get used until EVERYTHING ELSE is verified to be in excellent working order. Sorry i mentioned it as its not part of the immediate future.

That 1/2 second faster is a good idea.
I was actually considering a Double pumper system just to never have to touch the damn fuel system again. The only reasons thats not happening is money and only looking for that one miracle 10.99 and realistically staying in the 11.50s range. Not getting a cage.

Back to now
single fuel pump coming soon.
I'll do a little more research on them before i buy anything.

Double pumpers have there own issues.  I rather have one good pump then two half ass pumps that will cost about the same.

i still haven't purchased a pump as i can't seem to make a decision on which one to go with :icon_eyes:
The good thing about that is that i am not wasting too much gas as i am not going into boost.

it looks like a Reds XP pump is the one going in.
A friend of mines stocks them and he just got a few in and assigned one to me.

Data Logging
Since i can't go into boost - Bad fuel pump
I'll let the car idle a bit and drive it around with the old pump.

then i'll install the new pump and do the same.

then i'll post up the logs.

I would not waste my time logging if the pump is bad....just pop the new pump in, check the voltage on the supply side and check the voltage drop across the ground after the install to be sure that is good...and, be sure you tighten the clamps on the hose on the pump so it does not leak in the tank
