fuel pump D65c or D300c
Hi All, i'm planning on doing stage 2 (dp,intake/tune/ebc...) my tuner tell me to get a dw65c @265lph. however, i will plan to switch the turbo next year and push my motor to around 450. at this stage, should i just go bit higher and get the dw300c ? or is it "Way" overkill for what i need? what are the general rule of thumb for choosing fuel pumps? thanks in advance

Bigger pump = wiring modifications.
Aside from that, you're welcome to go as big as you want without any issues with the engine running. You do not NEED a pump currently, unless yours is getting tired (over 85k miles?). My personal two choices are usually: Walbro 255 Bosch 044 (or multiple) They are both proven, readily available from a TON of sources, and they'll get the job done. Once you get into E85 territory (or other racing fuels), you may need to take a closer look at this. Given you will be running higher boost in the future, I urge you to compare the 044 pump performance at elevated pressures to competing pumps. Most aftermarket pumps will work great at stock pressures, but once you increase pressure, the flow tends to drop off on most - the 044 is considerably more linear in it's performance (pressure vs. flow) curve. |
