Along with the Delphi tool, spend the $8 on a fuel line removal tool. Mine is a set made by Lisle and it looks like this...



You should be able to find this or a similar set at any local auto parts store.

 

question for the e-force blown rides...at what point do you need the GT500 twin fuel pumps vs. a KB boost-a-pump?

 

Not sure. But my train of thought was to not shy from spending a few hundred extra to be double #*%$& sure that the fuel system was going to be safe. And that's why I got GT500 pumps.

There's not a SC kit out there that comes with a BAP except for KB. Plenty of other brand kits are running GT500 pumps or some other real pump.

 

I hear what you are saying...stock the e-force at 466hp does not require a fuel pump. But better safe then sorry is a good principle. It just seems tough to swallow an extra $750 to run an extra 20hp perhaps? If I was to do the e-force kit i would run the competition air kit, and the stock pulley or maybe the 3.5 (3.625 is stock right?). However if the $750 for the GT500 fuel pumps is a good way to protect my block it seems wise to do it.

 

The base kit + GT500 pumps costs about the same as the JDM competition kit I posted which contains GT500 pumps, smaller pulley (more boost), bigger injectors, and an air intake upgrade...not to mention a JDM tune instead of Edelbrock's tune. So it was easy for me to get that competition kit w/ all those extras instead of the base kit + fuel pump.

Tillman also sells a similar kit, BTW. Haven't seen anybody else packaging competition kits yet.

I think it would have been safe to run just the base kit with no fuel pump upgrade. That would have gotten me 400-425 rwhp depending on the tune. But I wanted a little more and felt the competition kit from JDM (and Tillman) offered A LOT more for the additional $700 or so.

 

Just noticed last night that Brenspeed has a banner on the right side of their home page that says "E-Force Superchargers Coming Soon". The banner ad flashes Stage1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and Stage 4. Looks like they're going the same route as they did with the Saleens.

With all the turmoil going on with the blower manufacturers these days, this is some good news. A great distributor backed up by a well established manufacturer.

 

Wow that's great if Brenspeed will sell the E-Force. I really dig that unit. Although a shiny whipple still calls to me.

 

I am glad to see it as well. Its good to feel some validation in my choice. Not that whipple isn't also a good choice.

 

Well said Shane! And considering some of grief I endured by pre-ordering mine long before they were available and "tested", it is great to see these continuing to perform along with being added to well respected vendor's inventory like Brenspeed.

 

Cool man, good luck with the install!
