You have no idea those are just the ones at home

thump16 · 03-23-2010, 07:23 PM

I thought it was your girls truck at first cuz you have so many projects going on. LS swaps are taking over.

69face · 03-23-2010, 07:36 PM

I'm painting her truck next week

69face · 04-04-2010, 03:09 PM

yeah so painting her truck didnt work out but I'm running the corvette fpr, fmu, internal and external walbro pumps, and adjustable fpr at the rail after i finish typing this. the tank is mounted and i will take picture tomorrow.

69face · 04-07-2010, 12:20 AM

here are few pictures of the fuel system going into play. I ran an intank walbro to the corvette regulator (with an FMU on the return line) to an external walbro to the adjustable fuel pump regulator to the rail. if anyone has any input on the fuel setup let me know thanks in advance!

69face · 04-07-2010, 12:22 AM

also should i run a separate relay for the internal and external pumps?

glock35ipsc · 04-07-2010, 09:39 AM

Personally I would ditch the extra regulator/FMU, upgrade to larger injectors, and tune accordingly.

STOCKISH · 04-07-2010, 09:47 AM

I agree with Bob, but thats just my opinion. Truck is looking good man.

glock35ipsc · 04-07-2010, 10:26 AM

One of the more common mods with a supercharger on a stock GenIII/LS is to upgrade to 8.1L injectors and tune the PCM accordingly. Although I ran stock injectors with the stock pump and the Whipple piggyback electronics on my blown 5.3 for tens of thousands of hard miles without any issues.

Dang I wish I would have kept that Whipple.

69face · 04-07-2010, 01:33 PM

I have 52 lb injectors already. I was just using the regulator so that I could have an extra filter since I already paid for it.

69face · 04-21-2010, 11:03 PM

today, I put the fuel pressure gauge, msd wires, throttle spacer, injector pigtail adapters, and finished up some wiring

glock35ipsc · 05-04-2010, 09:19 AM

Sweet, congrats! If you haven't already, don't forget to drill some drain holes in the bottom of the PCM box.

Where is the supercharger?

69face · 05-04-2010, 03:19 PM

I haven't had any tuning for the supercharger so I'm not going to run it until it's time to tune

glock35ipsc · 05-04-2010, 03:36 PM

Ah, gotchya!

menace121978 · 05-04-2010, 08:36 PM

The charger came off of a lq9 and because of the higher compression the hoses kept blowing off.
