Fuel system help

[FATHERFORD]

Let me start off and explain I'm a "broke dick" viper owner, and dropping $15k+ at one time on a car does not make the misses happy.

On that note, I ultimately going to send my car to UGR to get a Paxton setup. I would like to slowly start piecing together the fuel system, water/meth and whatever else I can(used or new) and send the parts and the car to UGR for the Paxton install. I currently have a bolt on car with a vec 3 and spray..if that matters.

Does anyone(UGR??:D) have a good list I can start to follow to buy the pieces needed for this setup over time? It would be greatly apprecieated.

Well the main components are probably going to the the triple pump hanger, the pumps, lines and regulator, and the fuel rails and injectors. You can get some nice rails from AB (the guy that makes the sweet plug wires). And there have been many posts over on the Alley on where to get the triple pump hanger for a good price. There are a few shops that make them (I think UGR is one of them) but some charge for it like it was made of gold. I am pretty sure UGR had a good price on them. I also remeber a forum member making them as well. As far as lines I would just wait till your car was at UGR that way there is no waste so to speak. Those guys will know exactly how much you need and charge accordingly. And I would get their recommendation on the injectors as well, you would hate to have to buy them twice because you were just a tad too undersized.

LPDesRoche has some good points. You dont want to have to buy anything twice. I will see if I can get Kevin to chime in on this.

Aren't we all? :rofl::rofl:

Don't start purchasing parts. I doubt Kevin would even sell one of his triple hangers.

Anything else you would need, AEM for instance, Kevin could get cheaper than you anyway.

Instead get a saving account the missus doesn't know about and put a grand a month in it..........send car to UGR after 12 months. When its done, you will have the 15K........

Do you have headers? Hiflow or NO cats? Are you planning on doing a quaiffe? I would definently go with the AEM.

Just call them... Kevin will set you straight!

Have long tubes, high flow cats, and from what I was told when I bought the car quaiffe with gears. It's basically a full bolt on n/a car. I bought it from a dealership which knew nothing about it except what he "thinks" the previous owner said. I would like to stay OBD2 compliant so no AEM :shrug: I have an FJO wide band with a vec 3 already.

The reason I wanted the list and not just put money in the bank account....
1. I lack control. If I start a "secret" savings I'll see 5-6 k in there, and will do something stupid like buy a used roe setup and spray a 100 pill on top of it.
2. I used to work at a aftermarket parts company and still have connections to buy direct. Sometimes even at cost of the manufacture.
3. I'm not afraid to buy used parts. If I see some used injectors etc. go up for sale I'll buy and clean them. Hell I'll even buy a used Paxton setup(if it's worth it, not sure how much UGR changes it up). It doesn't matter to me. It might be new when you bought it, but as soon as you turn on your car it's used.. So what's the difference? A little elbow grease to clean it up and it's as good as new.
4. It's motivation seeing the parts. Waiting 12-15 months before I see anything sucks. If i see some new parts roll in every month it keeps me happy.

It's either that, or ill save for 3-4 months, and do something really stupid and get a loan for car parts:loco:

I'm not doing this because I think the UGR paxton setup is a bad cost. It's one HELL of a deal. If I could just drop 15k and send it to them I would in a heart beat. Which is a lot to say coming from me. I have been racing fox body mustang's for years, and I do all my own work including fabrication. Sending a car of mine off to have someone else do the work is a new concept to me.

Sounds to me like your best idea is already right in front of you. :yep:




A 10# Roe set up with a little squeeze on top will make MASSIVE torque and would be a monster on the street. :nana:

Agreed. If you don't want to run an AEM, and don't have the coin to do a Paxton build the right way.......a Roe twinscrew should be in your plans.

I'm making 660/710 rw with no juice. 900 pound feet at the wheels could be easily had with a nominal size shot.:bow:



And that would be 900 pound feet off the hit, not just at peak rpm.

On my first paxton build I used a split second box. It's not the best but it did work well and it did pass emissions. Btw, that's what was on when my car when it went 9.20.:D
