It's not a big deal at all. Do not fret! Just use a copper tube cutter and cut like 3/4" off or whatever you see fit. You can still go back to stock since you are given a new rubber hose that is longer than the stock one..

i second this...i myself used a hack saw because thats all i had, but it still worked, ive got pics of it at home on my desktop, but im deployed right now and cant post em up or else i would so you can see how painlessly easy it was.

just get the URD pump and call it a day, why not support the guys that have been supporting us all these years when hardly anyone else would?

Yes, but if I find the same quality product for $30 to $40 cheaper, my money goes where I get more out of it.

I'm all about supporting a vender that caters to us.. But the price has to be right..

Now that I know URD price matches, I'll look into it..

I have a 255 pump feeding my LS1, soon to upgrade to an Aeromotive A1000, but the 255 keeps up just fine WOT @ 6000rpms feeding 5.7 Liters. But with the new setup (Boost @ 15+psi + possibly a stroker 383) it will surely not cut it.

It also worked fine when I was pushing 23psi through my 2RZ with 550cc injectors, however they (the injectors) became static at high rpms/boost, so the fuel pressure was adequate, but the injectors were well beyond their effective range.

I think I paid around $130 for mine about 5+ years ago and still going strong, dont remember where I got it though. So I guess my entire post is pretty much irrelevant, lol.

Yes...mine was running about 70% with my 600cc as well at 15psi.

That seems like a safe range, would anything over 85% be considered stressin the injectors at that point?

You can honestly run 100% or even higher but it's not great for the injectors as they get hot. They may prematurely fail.

Chris D. · 02-15-2013, 02:31 PM

G made it work..

Now all I need now are injectors, intercooler kit and my e85 flex fuel sensor for the Megasquirt..

Then it's tune time!
