Trev Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 You can just use a "normal" EFI system (lift, surge and pressure pump) as it has the return line. If you find whatever EFI pressure pump you're using is a bit too much, run its power sourch through a ballast resistor to drop it to 6v. ;) You can use one of these regs with a carby fuel pump, however you would bother with a Holley Red/Carter Green etc as they only make 6-7psi. Using a Holley Blue or Carter Black (12-16psi) would give you a potential max boost of say 10psi, and you won't bust the needle and seat open. What are you looking at using it for? Forced induction on the carby 4age you have? Only to supply fuel to the carbs, No forced induction, My van also has a factory return line thats why I'm just hoping to run that. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Posted February 6, 2008 If thats the case I honestly would not bother with one of those regs just for the return line out of it. Just run a holley red or carter green (either of those will give you adequate flow) and use a $30 speco carby reg (one of the 1-6psi adjustables) and you're good to go! If you wanna spend $90 odd on a reg, buy a Mallaroy!! ;) The return lines in carby ke's etc are more so just a "breather" than a return fuel line as such. All part of the pollution shite attached to the charcoal canister (but I probably don't need to tell you this!). When I set mine up, I didn't even entertain the idea of using it for a return as its like 3mm ID. Just used the normal fuel send as a return and ran new 3/8 send. Have recently noticed that Xe7X's have 3 alloy fuel lines, which are also bigger than 30-55 etc, so they may be more usable! [/rant] :bash: Quote

Rolla__Boy Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 O....M....G..... how did you do the RED BULL coil???i freakin love it!!! lol Awesome lookin motor!! I would imagine he just cut a can, and slid it around the coil...and the bracket holds the lot together Quote
Taz_Rx Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) I would imagine he just cut a can, and slid it around the coil...and the bracket holds the lot together :) The red bull can was a bit too long, and the diametre was bigger than the coil too. Just cut the top and bottom off, trim to fit, slit down the back (bottom side of coil), and yeah the bracket for the coil holds it on. If you're going to copy me at least use a V can! :( :) Edited February 7, 2008 by Taz_Rx Quote
