Attention: TDR Forum Junkies It sure took me longer than 30 or 40 minutes, but it is done and working well. I had just installed a Carter pump and had about 12 psi at idle and within 10 minutes the old lift pump died completly. The new lift pump, by it's self idles at 13 psi, has 12 psi around town, 10. 5 psi on the freeway at 85 mph and I can get it down to 6 psi at 30 pounds boost, 1200 degrees egt and 3,000 rpm. My old pump was 6 psi, 3 psi and zero at WOT.
My gauge is an electric auto-meter 0 t0 15 psi. When I run the carter and the OEM pump together I don't know what I have at idle and around town as it is pegged. It goes down the freeway at 85 mph at 15 psi and I can put it down to about 10. 5 at WOT.
It doesn't feel right, thought to look down at the gauge and see it pegged most of the time. Can a guy have to much fuel pressure???? And can the gauge be hurt by being pegged most of the time???? I doubt that it is over 20 psi, but I don't know.
Anyway, just thought I would post this as I am so damn pround of myself for getting that lift pump installed.
