What date are you going Dark? My next trip is coming up too. The track this time doesn't mind if you bend some rules, so no 135mph limit on this outing

Working then. Heading to Swift Current August 11&12 though. Have to replace my fuel pump, looks like it crapped out, and get the car ready for then. On the bright side, the L36 put up with 16 lbs of boost and 18:1 Air Fuel Ratio when the pump died last weekend, still in one piece.

What pump were you running? Troy was very impressed with your car in Lethbridge. I told him I plan on copying your set up..He may have to bump the NOS in the 383 car to keep up..lol..

Hey man I just thought you would like to know that MY fiero 3800 turbo is WAY faster than yours.... Alls I need is an engine, tranny, mounts, harness, turbo, piping, flanges, intercooler, sensors, an intake, a cam, some tuning, a computer, and and and and...... aw hell who am I kidding. I'm not worthy!!!! hehehe peace
Aeromotive 340lph. Car was very unhappy. Ran a 2.60 100' time popping and banging from being way too lean(best with blower was 2.29 and it 60' better now). Troy won the ultimate street car challenge with that 383 Fiero. He sure can drive an autocross . New pump should be here tomorrow...

10 gauge off alternator to relay to upgraded tank wiring harness. Pretty much nothing stock, racetronix Hotwire kit, tank bulkhead and 4-wire harness - ready for double pump setup if necessary. This pump is supposed to support 900 crank hp though. Worked fine up until last weekend.

Yeah with Troy working at kal tire he gets a bit of extra play time with the suspension for setting that car up the way he wants. Plus if i remember correctly it has the held motorsports control arms on it too..For a big V8 it sure can kick ass in autocrossing..
What are you running now? A single 20gpm pump should be enough. I run a meziere 20gpm remote electric with 3/4" lines, 20 degrees over ambient at 18-20lbs, and I think I have air in my intercooler. I need to remove it and make an air bleed at the top.
I wouldn't bother with 2 pumps, just get one that has some decent ratings if yours doesn't pump enough. Some people say faster is better, some say too fast is bad too. I'm running a 20 gpm and have been happy.

I have a Bosch cobra pump. It did flow well but I have changed my IC setup and it doesn't seem like it moves the water like before.
I used to look in the reservoir and you could see water swirling around and moving pretty well. Now it barely moves.

If you mount the pump just after your reservoir, and below the reservoir outlet the pump will always self prime. It is hard to get the air out in a Fiero especially if you have a front mount heat exchanger, the hoses go down and up so many times, the air tends to get trapped unless the pump moves alot of water.
It's probably just air in the system. It will also pump faster when it was 14+ volts too it while the car is running. I always pull a hose off the top of my intercooler and let it run out on the ground for a few minutes while i'm filling the reservoir. It takes a little bit for it to start pumping strong. Then I connect the hose back up while that car is still on.
Figures, got the fuel pump fixed up, lots of pressure now. Second WOT run and Pop, lots of exhaust noise:
Guess I will have it welded up. Might modify it to allow more clearance to the alternator while I'm at it. Should be ready to go for Aug. 11, Dark, you better get a 9 this week

oooo very nice. I've been too lazy to finish my trunk. I did build it from the start to still retain a half trunk but i'd rather drive it than work on it.
Nosrac, Bravo man way to comeback from that problem. It looks really REALLY good now man and I am sure you are pleased. Can't wait to see that monster ripping down the track. Excellent work. Peace
Sure, it will look clean when nothing is connected. No belt, shift cables, plug wires, engine mount, breather, etc. Even before all that, Nosrac's still looks cleaner.
