oh man
Rain on my parade

BBRX8 pm'd me on gtalk.

He got it out using a rubber tube on a shop vac in the main exhaust port, air sprayed into the divided and his dad turning the assembly by hand.

I wanted to many times, but it just ate at me when i knew it was in there. I just knew I had a lot of new things to address and the possibility of what could have happened would have sucked more. All the fuel work for nothing.

according to some cooler fuel due to it not sitting on the top of the motor, but some argue this due to the motor running in the tank. plus aeromotive does not recommend this pump in a returnless set up

A big one for me was maintaining pressure

run higher pressures (a injector does get bigger with more pressure, but i have read too much is bad too)

longer life on the pump because of less strain deadheading

able to provide more fuel on demand and rising rate 1:1

I have around 1500 into building this using s2 green and 4 modded yellows so 420/800/820 @2.25 bar. when i get up and going well see how far this gets me and go from there. Ive talked to a company and they can make a drop in 1100cc option and i have the option to add a second pump and possible e85(though im not sure i want to take on all those headaches)

that first pic is how i started on the running spare motor i have but i ended up changing quite a few things because the packing was so tight.

Still trying to decide on what to do with the spare motor to take it to the next step down the road
