I think that is the one I keep looking at 525 drop in unit. Just don't know if that's more than what I need right now.

Make sure you have enough return line to return what's being sent back. Those pumps flow some fuel, right Greg?
Greg can tell you which pumps he's running but one is larger than the other. The big pump put out so much volume, that with a -6 return line, we couldn't open the regulator enough to get it down to factory pressure.
Just went to his thread and looked. The 525 pump is way too much pump for the factory lines, the 450 may or may not work but I'd be suspect
If it's a stock tank setup, I'd be looking at an aeromotive 340. I'm using two of em myself.
I ASSumed you were going with aftermarket lines since this setup comes with a billet aluminum hat that accepts an fittings. A 340 lph pump would be plenty for th hp on E85. Dave's turbo car used one and we never ran out of fuel pressure.
Same here, was thinking aftermarket lines too. Might just have to do the 340 for now and see where it gets ya.
Its on the ground for now. Still have to get a few things cleaned up yet.

Yes sir, keep poking at it.
Finally touched this one again over the last couple days. Radiator is set in place and Im working on wiring the fans. Just picked up a Derale double relay set up for the Contour fans. Curious as to what others have wired them into for the trigger wire. I hate wiring!!!
Brian, I'm happy to see you chipping away at this again. Such a cool, clean car man. Can't wait to see it done.
I have contour fans on my car and I ended up using a Derale PWM Fan Controller. So far it has worked well.
They claim that it won't support the current draw of the contour fans, but I'm pretty sure that's a "playing it safe" claim. I ended up ditching the 50A circuit breaker that was supplied with the controller, and installed a big in line fuse link. (60 or 80 amps I think..).
Have had zero issues with the setup thus far.
Granted, it's definitely not a daily driver.. So I cannot attest to long term durability. But as far as the operation of the cooling fans is concerned, it is fantastic. Once I dialed everything in, the fans just work. I never think about them. It's nice. [emoji106]

Still working on the fan wiring. Of course waited on 10 gauge fuse holders for a week.

Well been back on this one too. Decided that I wanted to keep the stock hood so I removed the intake spacer so I could get the hood to shut. Finished up the tranny cooler, radiator, and fans. Got it cleaned up from setting the last couple years and pulled it out for some pictures!
