Yes it does include its own fuel pump which will become the primary pump for the engine. The stock fuel pump will become simply a transfer pump, or an "active pickup" if you will. We are rating its HP potential to 550rwhp using gasoline. Later, when needed, we can offer an upgrade for it for those on a built motor with FI who want to make more power.

Our product is, in essence, a surge can. We sort of took that theory, expanded on it, and tailered it around the 370z. It is built specifically for the 370z gas tank, and mounts to it / inside it. It does not require a return fuel conversion and external regulator in order to keep the fuel siphons operating correctly like an external surge can would for these cars. And it does not maintain any pressure inside the can as a result of feeding the restrictive venturi siphons through overflow fuel, which is how we can feel comfortable putting it inside the gas tank. Because it is inside the gas tank, it includes one of its own very potent fill siphons on the drivers side of the tank, along with the stock fuel pump assembly on the passenger side being the major source of fill.

It does not require any plumbing changes outside of the fuel tank at all. Everything is happening inside the fuel tank. The only thing going on outside the tank is a relay and a few wires that route into the gas tank through an OEM quality electrical bulkhead to the new fuel pump.

So its like a surge tank on steroids. It has several additional features over your typical external surge can.

Our theory behind it involves 5 lines running back and fourth in the tank. 1 being the stock cross-tank siphon. which remains untouched. 4 that we add, all of which interface our product with the oem fuel pump assembly.

Thats about it for the info for now. We are actually working on it for other applications as well. We believe it will be a big hit, and we want to offer it for a few platforms very shortly after the 370z.
