Aeromotive A1000 EFI Fuel System

[syrushcw]

Does anyone have this system? If they do, do you like it? Is it better then piecing together your own system?

Since you're doing a drag car, I'd tell you to look into a sump system over a surge tank. Not sure if this is common with a fuel cell though. I guess it depends on how it's set up.

Kinda confused I thought you mainly only sumped stock tanks and that design is already built into a fuel cell where the bottom of the tank feeds back downward toward the fittings that lead to a pump like the sx1000 that do not require a internal or feeder pump

Correct. I haven't looked at fuel cells in a while and forgot they came pre-sumped. I guess I typed you were getting a fuel cell but was thinking stock tank.

Stupid me...

It's all good.

Slippi 84, do you think, that pump like A1000 or whatever you have SX 1000, will be sufficient enough for HX-52??? I don't think so. A1000 is a glorified Wallbro. It is designed for NA carb. motors and doesn't flow good under pressure/boost. You will need at least 2 of these, if you running the 52. For example Magnafuel 625 fuel pump is rated up to 120PSI and still flows, while A1000, kind of struggles under boost:Aeromotive Inc. ... Or that:

MagnaFuel MP-4301 - MagnaFuel ProTuner 625 Series In-Line Fuel Pumps - summitracing.com

I have a friend who made 719WHP with this pump and kind of running out of turbo/need bigger one/. He ran 9.58@ 148mph.

I don't know who told you that but they were wrong. The sx1000 and ax1000 are rated to 1000hp. Look it up there is a drag supra running one with like a t88 and that's the only pump and it made crazy power(this is the sx1000)

look at alex shuster's car he runs one too

A1000 Fuel Pump, P/N 11101

This is the pump that started it all. Durable, reliable, good looking and it supports high horsepower. Perfect for the daily driver that doesn't run like a daily driver.

Fuel Injected Engines:
up to 1300 HP - naturally aspirated
up to 1000 HP - forced air induction
Carbureted Engines:
up to 1500 HP - naturally aspirated
up to 1200 HP - forced air induction

The only reason I could see it not performing good is people running it with -6an line trying to save money on lines or something other than that it should do just fine with a set of those new 1600cc injectors FIC is making

The tech from Aeromotive, suggested me before to switch to another pump. Right now, they are all at SEMA, but call next week and ask them, hom much this pump flows@ 80+ PSI of fuel pressure: 43PSI base and 40PSI boost. You would be surprised. It doesn't matter who made here and there some good number with this pump, or the fact, that you own it already. Check the facts about it.

P.S. And convert lbs/hr, to liters/min and look at the numbers then.

Here's the thing though I don't have to run 43.5 base psi and I will be running 1600cc injectors so I don't need to start out with the same pressure and then ad my max of 45psi I think it will get me by. That and you can run the pump regulator to help too.

Just check it out man. I know you are building a nice car, so look over one more time, before start assembling. BTW, I think I have an extra of these SX pumps/ same as A-1000/, which is broken, but if you find someone to rebuild it, you'll have two. It is going to be like $ 30. The problem is Aeromotive didn't want to rebuild this pump and when I called SX, they said go to Aeromotive and back and forth. Usually Aeromotive asked like $ 130 for rebuild so the whole think might run you 150-160, halfthe price.

Hmm I will take this to Pm but I kinda have an idea now. I will still call them and ask though
