fuel

[bigred240sx]

so at normal driving i can redline in gears 1-3 dont ever try in fourth...at wide open throttle i start having a fuel cut type action around 4500 in first and second but not in thirdso i am trying to figure out what is causing this and am debating whether or not to change fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump firstits a 76 280z

I assume you've already replaced the fuel filter? your problem could also be a partially clogged fuel pickup, the pickup tube in these cars is just that a tube, it can corrode at the eng and eventually clog almost completely, I sumped my stock tank to fix this issue

[bigred240sx]

ah i guess we will find out and yes i did replace fuel filter a month ago

so plan on going turbo and dropping in a turbo l28 from the later years if i can find onewhat is best fuel pump to purchasei dont plan on going above like 350 hp if i can even get that high

summit sells an MSD electric pump for like $80 thats big enough to feed 500 hp! thats what I run, it's not real quiet and you gott feed it with hard line or it'll suck the hose shut....seriously

you've never heard of summit? you live under a rock?http://summitracing.com/they aren't really oriented to imports but they do sell a lot of import parts as well, they are one of the largest aftermarket pwarts suppliers in the world, mostly domestic v8 stuff

[bigred240sx]

i dont do domestic v-8s very much and no i dont live under a rock hahai have heard it mentioned just never went to their site

I think they have a billboard at every nacetrack in america, and they are the title sponsor of the national import drags, HUGE company
