I haven't been on here in awhile, I'm wanting to get my car running this winter so I can drive it to my brother-in-law's shop(8 miles country road) and work on some of the body work. I have a rb25, it ran fine before we took out the gas tank. I have a fuel cell but need to get a fuel pump and some lines. I'm on a very limited budget and don't want to buy all cheap parts but I need to buy the most reliable parts for the money, If money wasn't an issue I'd just get the A1000 and call it a day. I've been leaning toward the Bocsh 044 and fuel line kit from summit racing. Do I have any options of mounting a pump inside or do I have to go external with a cell? I've done some searching but most were dealing with stock gas tank. My goal is just to get the car running for now but I do want to hit that 450-500hp goal down the road so I'll probably just get a second fuel pump then. Thanks for any help you can send my way.

I ran custom stainless from engine to tank, with a fuelab 41401 in tank. Modified the fuel hat to get rid of the venturi pump and added a small xfer pump.

http://www.anfittingsdirect.com/ is where all my fittings came from.

What pump and filter did you go with? How much do you think you spent with lines, filter, pump and fittings? (Ballpark)

Pump - Fuelab 41401 w/ mesh in tank filter. Also run a fuelab fiberglass 6 mircon inline.

I'd guess in just lines/pumps/filters I am close to 1k. Including FPR, flex fuel, etx I'm close to 2k.

Nice! I don't have that kind of money at the moment:/ I'm hoping to get the Bosch 044 pump, AEM high volume fuel filter, braided fuel line kit from summit and some brackets for pump+filter for under $500. I already have the fuel cell.
Anyone recommend a better filter around $100?

Wix 24003 is the same as the aem filter. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C ... UTF8&psc=1

Thanks 95_240!!

I'm waiting to order what I need to see if I have other options. Or if someone thinks another setup around the same price would be better, I know I can save money and go with the walbro but from what I've read it's not as good or reliable as the Bosch.
