Fuel starvation - any good solutions?
I have the fuel starvation problem when im on track, running 3/4 tank when turning on left hand turns.
My pump is almost new (OEM), car runs very good otherwise. It only happens on 1 curve at my local track, fuel pressure drops to 15 psi, i have to lift off for a sec and then its ok. gets worse when fuel level gets lower.
I've searched for solutions but could not find any definitive answer.
Surge pot? my guess is it would still drop pressure and same problem would happen.
2nd pump in passenger saddle? id prefer to keep it simple and would not want to run all the lines and wires all the way
I'd like to keep my oem fuel pump setup.
I tryed walbro and it sucks, last me 3 months, less than 10k km
help me...it makes my lapping sessions frustrating...otherwise ill keep my fuel level at full when ill go for 20 min sessions and hope this wont happen

Well, we have fought the problem for the last 8 yrs, when it first started showing up. There have been multiple threads and a couple of solutions.
I have mine down to where it is OK to about 1/8th tank no matter what I do to it....but it is the 2 pump solution..
I am going to try some different things to see if it will get better....
Try the Aeromotive pump..it fits in the OEM location and should help.

how did you wired the 2nd pump? and where does the 2nd pump feed to? the main fuel line or the other side of the tank?
i dont think some other pump than oem would last for very long in oem assembly.
