hey I have ls vtec turbo, the turbo is a greddy td05 18g I have skunk2 cams springs and retainers the question is if I put in a 255 fuel pump before I get it tuned will it be ok to drive for a day and a half, I wont have any kind of fuel management in the mean time please advise :shrug:
you’ll be fine with puttin the fuel pump in now
no absolutely not. just putting a higher flow fuel pump will not get you anymore fuel to the cylinders. do not drive it until you get it tuned. if you decide to take the above advice then go ahead and start shopping around for a new motor. please dont give advice unless you have some idea of what your talking about.
you said you had no fuel management at all?
If you must drive it around then go ahead and pull off the charge pipes and slap an air filter on the car. Let the turbo spin but don’t let any boost into the motor.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
awesome advice
thank you guys I thought the same thing but my idot roomate said that it will be fine, but I should have known he did buy a mitsubishi eclipse:clap:
like u just said…a higher pressure fuel pump will not net u more fuel. why would u need to tune it if it doesn’t change anything? he’s asking about just the fuel pump, not the whole set up in general…he’s fuc|< if he doesn’t tune that. i had no problem driving around town for a couple days with my 255lph hp and then parked to finish my turbo. the fuel pump helps it flow better…if its bigger injectors your changing than that’s another story. just make sure you have a map for your injector and motor. a pump will not change anything. experience is my advice…looks like ur the one that doesn’t know what they’re talkin about.
