So as most of you know, im doing a rebuild... what fuel pump should i use for the TT conversion? (500-600 hp, 555 cc injectors) Need to make sure it can handle 700cc injectors later on as well...

I also need to know what is a good replacement for fuel lines? I have found several Stainless steel fuel line kits for 300 degree but not for oem. anyone??

IIRC the OEM TT pump is good for 700hp.

True, as per Z1's conversion guide. NA fuel pump is only good for 400 MAX and thats pushing it.

For the fuel lines I could never find any replacements either. Maybe if you go to a Nissan dealer they will have some. You could also just buy regular fuel line at a parts store and buy the plier-like tool for bending it for like $20 and a decent flaring kit and make your own lines. It's not overly hard to do.

Do not put a NA fuel pump in a TT, will not work could lead to catastrophic problems. Unless you are going from point a to point b and do not boost or rev past 4k. I tried it once, it would not rev past 5k and it felt like I hit a brick wall. Took it easy back home and replaced the pump with a TT one. I know there are people that said they ran a NA one in their TT, I highly doubt it, or they never drove it that hard.

Yeah I was just quoting Z1, not really sure how they determined that an NA pump is good for 400hp.
