hope this helps more. it took me a real long time to find. This time it was .003 seconds as opposed to my normal .002 seconds via google search. I'm slacking. :lol: maybe it would have been faster if I actually owned an ECS fuel system. :cheers:

Read my sentence..in post.. Let me help you anyways. " I know ESC has them on there web site. Install tips?"
use quality connection methods. butt connectors, wire nuts and electrical tape are not sufficient. That is a good way to have issues and or even start a fire. i'm sure the guys East Supercharging Coast would say the same. |
:rofl:
|
Wire nuts black tape?? that's what A/C techs use... :lol: :lol:
solder and heat shrink work best but connectors are ok :yesnod: |

Hey, do me a favor and troll someone else post.
you asked for tips and you have received them. I don't know what you know. When I see thread's like this I generally get the impression that the poster is probably inexperienced, in which case you should just take the car to a pro and let them install the fuel system. I say that because installing that fuel system is about as straight forward as changing a tire. on something this straight forward, I automatically assume that the person asking has no earthly idea what they're doing. When I give advice, I'm doing it with the assumption that you know nothing. I'm sorry that i misread your first post and didn't see where you were saying you already had the instructions. Good luck with your fuel system. Thanks for being so kind! :thumbs: |
Back on track here. Anyone have a few pictures they can post?

you have to be just messing with me. :lol: The only thing I know for certain is that you are the one who does not have the answer sir. I sure am glad that my car has a working fuel system.
Good luck maybe tomorrow you will wake up on the correct side of the bed. :thumbs: :cheers: no seriously give us detail man!! I really want to help or find someone who can. :cheers: |

You have any pictures of your fuel system.. Or did you pay a shop?:cheers:
can you post exactly what your looking for maybe im reading your thread wrong but your concerned with the level of the pump in relation to the fuel level? They did move my regulator though. so that's about the only modification they did to my fuel system. |
heres some A&A fuel systems too look at http://www.aacorvette.com/supercharg...9oqgg3vefskvl7

I don't have the Teflon lines or the elbows yet. So I was going to check out pictures of different installs. I want the pump to be low enough so I will not induce air into the fuel system. It's gravity feed. I am going to order my parts from Pegasus racing and wanted to get a idea on what to buy. I know I need one of these to tap into the factory lines Aeromotive 15120..
unless your trying to install the pump on the roof and run your car danm dear out of fuel, I dont think your going to run into cavitation issues. |

good so, if you mount the pump at tank level or slightly below, i.e. like andy's kit shows in the left fender well. you should not have any cavitation issues.
now on to fittings? |
You mean to say 1/4 panel? Fender is up front of the car.

[QUOTE=MVP'S ZO6;1586177621]so let me ask this? your system did not come with any fittings?
if so than what else are you trying to accomplish? I had a pump already so I only bought the bulk head. :yesnod: |

This is the bulkhead mine takes from ECS.

Bulkhead to pump is -8.. I think a 45 out of the bulkhead will work. Teflon line is not very flexible so it has to be pretty close on the angles. and I know out of the pump its -6 line.
have you seen this post. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/1581818862-post23.html |

http://www.eastcoastsupercharging.co...age1_early.pdf ok based on the instructions. it looks like your going to need (2) 120 Degree -8AN Fittings like this. http://www.jdaent.com/1120-08-1.html (black fittings cost a little more) as for the fittings, install one on each end of 24" of braided fuel line. one end is going to attach to the ECS fuel tank hat spacer/ring and the other side will attach to the inlet of the pump. wiring..... im going to try and pull this from memory. I dont know if your using a 3 or 4 wire relay but ill give you a run down for a 4 wire. 1) Fused Power to 12v power on back of alternator or any fused constant power source will go to terminal 30 on your relay. (you can use the lug on the fuse box under the hood but if you do make sure you run an inline fuse) 2) Fuel Pump power (+) to non fused red power terminal 87 on relay 3) one side of Hobbs to terminal 86 on your relay 4) Other side of Hobbs to Ground 5) terminal 85 on the relay is going to go to an ignition source. you can use the hot wire on the injector or any ignition source where there is only power with the key on. 6) Fuel Pump negative to ground that should do it for the wiring of your fuel pump. be sure to use good soldered and shrink wrapped connections. I like to also wrap shrink wrapped connections in electrical tape as well just for the extra protection. then obviously the hobbs switch will need a boost/vacuum signal. intake manifold ect. I hope this gets you somewhere. :cheers: |
In the instructions they say 120's but look at that picture.. Those are not 120. :cheers:

To the OP here really on this if you have not gotten your parts yet give SMOOVE a message in here. SMOOVE is what he goes by he can get you ALL your part plus help you 100% if you are not sure on part. :thumbs: I got all my fuel system made up by him.. Robert

ill get pics of mine, i don't have the ecs kit but i use the ecs fuel block with a areomotive 750 pump. the pump is mounted to my side skirt.

I agree it definitely don't look like a 120 degree fitting.
|

Seems like you would get a burst of air in that set up with that high of an arc on the fuel line? Fuel run back in the tank under braking. I think we need a filter before the pump to keep debri out of the second pump.
|
no issue's here, been on the dyno multiple times.
|
Maybe the check valve keeps the line full
|
seems all the other pics above don't have pre filters either. the car probably as a minimum of 30 dyno pulls. 17.5psi
all the filters/check valve are in my front wheel well. then the regulator is mounted here. the black line going to fire wall is hooked up to the stock feedline. its all boost referenced aswel. http://i550.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps6003a4df.jpg |

This is 2 years ago car has the same fuel set up just cleaned it up some http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...t/DSCN2485.jpg

The ESC bulkhead that I have does not have a pump that feeds the second pump. Gravity feed is what I have.

that adapter u have is what i have in my pic, all it is is so you dont have to drill the tank or use a bulkhead fitting. you need to then get a inline pump, relay, hobbs switch,regulator, filters, check valve and all the fittings for the rails. you will also need a return line so you will need either drill the tank or set it up like mine.
the red pump in my pic is my secondary pump. i still have the lpe intank pump for driving around town etc, then when it his 3-4psi it turns the secondary (red pump) along with the intank lpe pump. http://i550.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps58c7900b.jpg |

That's a stage three kit, but I have it all under control. I found a local source that has all the good stuff so I don't have to guess. Mine will have a filter between the bulkhead and external pump. Last thing I want it to be in fuel boost and have the pump lock up cause of some debris.

there is no set way of doing anything. You can do whatever you please. Everyone has different setups that suite what they wanted, now you have some ideas and can change the things you want to make you happy. Now you have something to go by and guide you. Why do you think there are 1 million different ways of having a catch can setup lol, no one agrees.

Guys, this is why just purchasing the complete kit is the way to go, everything set, wiring complete, install and go. Whether it's ours or another quality kit, your not saving enough IMO to make piecing it together worth it.
Just my .02 |
Can't argue that one and at under a grand it seems like a good deal for what you get. There's no real way around it. Good fuel systems cost some coin but are definitely a very important system in the grand scheme of things.

Kits all in. Saved about $400 on it by buying the parts myself. :cheers: Took about 3 hours to do the job and now we have extra fuel pressure. :)
