02 GT Built/Blown fuel pump issues?

[Stanger00]

Seen your reply, thanks!

It sounds like I might have the wrong walbro in mine and need to drop the tank and verify. I hate living in an apartment!

I dropped my tank in my apartment parking spot, lol.

+1 one on the green top for the focus unit.

^^^ did you buy your car with the supercharger already installed? my guess is it has a Focus pump, the previous owner probably made a mistake naming it?

Yea i bought with all the mods done and have been ironing out the kinks...

Thanks for the pump pic

The GT pump is a great idea but you will have to cut some wires and add a spade connector. Not hard but just extra steps over a SVT Focus pump that just plugs right in.

When I installed my GT pumps I popped the connectors out of the plastic housing and connected them to the pumps. They were the right size. I don't know if the single pump use the same connector but it's worth checking before cutting wires.

Probably because its expensive. I bought the dual FPDM wire kit from lethal. Got a freebie FPDM with my 500 dollar complete 03 Cobra tank. Then I had to buy the division x hat 380 and then there were teh 2 GT pumps I also bought. Expensive shit. But should be good to go without having to resort to a BAP till mid 600's :rockon: unless I go E-85 :bash:

Drilling a hole in the top of the stock 03/04 hat to run additional wires has proved to be a pita for many guys, you run into sealing and leak issues, check engine lites from the evap system etc.. I was gonna do it but after researching a single modifed from Derek (Black306) is the ticket:rockon: In all the searching if done I've never seen an 03/04 hat without pumps for $60? Usually about $100

agreed it's expensive if you go that route. I'm planning on picking up a fpdm from a junkyard and wiring it myself. I've got a cobra hat that I'm going to use as well. I not too worried about the drilling of the hat...I've been reassured that we'll be able to get it to seal. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any other reasons. thanks for the clarification.

Can you explain this in further detail please? I don't understand what your saying?

I have a spare fpdm with the hardware bolts used to piggyback on top of the factory one, if interested PM me

Ok theres alot of information flying around in here.

Can I run a single aviator pump with my stock hat, stock tank, and stock fpdm? If not what do I need to run it?

OR, what would it take to run the single 400lph walbro that just came out?

 

[Stanger00]

You have something against hooking up a BAP? That's all that you need if you already have a 255lph pump installed

I dont, I just wasnt sure if thats the best way to proceed for now?

So just get a 20a BAP and throw it on, and verify that I have the correct pump already installed?

 

[SonicDTR]

Well, now Kenne Belle has me convinced I should just get a cobra tank and pumps and put a BAP on it.... http://www.kennebell.net/techinfo/general-info/BAPsvtFocus_kens.pdf

Too many options!

 

[Brutal Metal]

The Aviator pump is a DIRECT replacement in the stock hat it has the same plug connector and yes you don't have to change the fpdm

 

[Stanger00]

That KB article was for cobra dual fuel pump applications. Not us single pump guys. You will not have to change fuel pump fuses. I run a 20amp BAP with a 5 psi switch. I have it hooked up before my fpdm. The BAP turns on at 5 pounds of boost. My car ran out of pump at 5300 and it was only around 408 hp but my car is a auto. 30 minutes after a BAP install my tune was perfect.

But if you have a extra 400-600 to spare you're better off finding a 03-04 cobra tank and hat set up. I will have a hat with 2 pumps for sale real soon. I will even have a single svt focus pump and kb 20 amp BAP for sale at the same time.

 

[SonicDTR]

I've been reading my ass off on this topic and think i've concluded what I need to do.

A cobra tank is a must have no matter what. So I might as well buy a complete cobra tank, hat, and pumps. Then do a wire upgrade and BAP and call it good for 500+hp. Sound good?

 

[Stanger00]

What I did but I have lofty hp goals and went overkill return less setup on my car.

I still think you will need a modified FPDM to make sure both pumps are being fed enough volts. You should know more about this then I do by now. I will pm you when I put the cobra hat and stock cobra pumps for sale.

 

[Brutal Metal]

you don't need a modifed fpdm if stock cobra pumps are used, they don't draw as much current as GT's and Aviators..

 

[SonicDTR]

Ok here is a question.

If a Modified FPDM and a BAP both increase voltage to the pump, how do they work together? Or is it a one or the other type of deal?

 

[White04GT]

Just go stock 03-04 Cobra pump if your goal is 500hp. I had a 03-04 cobra pump 60# injectors and a KB BAP and maxed out my fuel at 603rwhp.

Thanks for solid info! It looks like that is my best plan of action.

Another question though. If the aviator is a direct drop in for my GT, are twin Aviators direct drop ins for a twin cobra hat/tank?

If you're looking to upgrade the pumps I would just go straight to the GT pumps.

I was hoping I could slap in a single aviator/bap now, and when I purchase the cobra tank/hats buy an additional aviator to put in it.
