Excellent... and you are the first to confirm back to me that its working well with forced induction! Have you had a chance to watch fuel pressure under full throttle

Excellent... and you are the first to confirm back to me that its working well with forced induction! Have you had a chance to watch fuel pressure under full throttle to see if it holds flat all the way to redline or if there is any slight drop on top to say that the 255 pump is nearing its limit?

No I haven't but my car isn't big HP, it wasn't falling off with the stock pump. My Aquamist computer was having problems so we shipped it back to the factory but when I get it back up and running I will make a trip to my tuners and I will record a video of the gauge on the dyno for you.

Just ordered it. My question is how many hours does it take to install it? I am hesitant to do this in my garage due to the garage being under the living room and the smell of fuel will linger around the house. If I were to take it out to a shop, how many hours will they charge me, 2-3?

Order confirmed, thank you.
I regretfully must be honest and say that it's highly unlikely anyone would get this done in 2-3 hours. Maybe if they had experience with it, and if you took care of some of the stuff such as did all the wiring and etc. I would be surprised if the fuel smell infiltrated the house if you were to make sure the tank was as nearly empty, and left the garage door wide open... Perhaps push the car halfway out while working. If you take a break you can cover the tank openings. Then again I could be wrong. It has been a matter of everyone's personal experience level. We have had the entire spectrum of people who get it done quickly in a day without asking a question, to people who needed a lot of questions answered over a period of a week, and anywhere in between. It can be done in phases if you change the order up a little bit, leaving the car no more than 15 minutes from being buttoned up and running if you need it to. That would be saving the hard part for the very last, where you cut off the filter feed hose on the stock module and connect the new hoses while putting the module back in the tank. |

If you're doing it yourself. Drive the Z unil empty or close to it. Remove the seats. It makes it easier to work. What I did was to remove the rear plastic panels. Makes it a whole lot easier.
![]() 2 things that I had problems with after the install. One is the hose clamps. Make sure you have them position properly. I had one that I didn't have up high enough on the fitting. After a year the hose popped off the fitting on the driver side, middle hose. Flatbedded the Z home on that one. ![]() ![]() phunk is a great guy to deal with. We text back and forth whenever I have questions or anything else. ![]() ![]()

Take your time and you'll have no problems. Give yourself room to move about in the car. Once you have removed both the right side fuel pump and left side sending unit. Take a small camera and take a couple of pictures inside the tank from both sides. I held the camera in one hand, and used a socket extension to push the button on the camera to take the picture. This will give you an idea of inside the tank. Don't tighten down too tight on the zip-ties inside the tank that hold the 3 hoses into place. Problem #2 for me. Pay attention on the clamp position. Problem #1 for me.

will do. actually I have noticed my fuel sender unit is funky at times. It isn't accurate and sometimes it doesn't move at all. Is this something I can fix while I am at this?

Some things you may want to source now if you don't have them. 1. A good solder gun 2. RTV silicone fuel safe 3. Crimpers for the specific connectors that come with the kit. I used **** crimpers on my wire strippers and wish I had the correct ones. Phunk can tell you the type to get. 4. Workmans mirror 5. Transfer pump for the fuel. 6. Most important one ...PATIANCE ![]() I had some issues with installation but, looking back most were self inflicted and getting frustrated that it wasn't going as smooth as I thought it would have. You have lots of people to ask about it though and when you done and on the track next no worries on high G right handers at 1 to 2 dots on the gauge. The thing just works. ![]()

Anything is better than a full tank before each session. I will lose at least 50lbs of weight from just going half tank. Also gas cost $3/gallon more at the track, I figure I burn 12 gallons at each track day, it will save me $36 a day. I will pay this off after 28 days

I can give you a short list of things to check out on the level sensors to figure out where the problem is. If looking into this level sensor thing, I would push back the RRP install a few days to a week and fill the tank full and then observe the level sensor ohms at each side to see which one or both is not reading full. This could be useful information when in later for the install but the install needs an empty tank so it could not be checked at that time.
