Will Very LOW fuel pressure while gettin on it all the time take a toll on the lift pump? Its not out of fuel just very low. thanks for any info

 

Starving the injection pump will hurt it

 

My lift pump was @ 2-3 PSI for the better part of 6-8 months until I replaced it with the Walbro ove rthe weekend.

Now, if you starve the INJECTION pump (CP3) you can and will hurt it which is a no no. The Walbro (or similar will set you back $350-$500). I paid $400 for my Walbro (the entire kit, fittings, hose, clamps, etc...)

 

So does that mean since my fuel pressure has gone all the way to zero a couple times then my cp3's not gonna be in very good shape. would gettin a modded one be a good idea now.

 

thanks for the info. has anyone tried the bd lift pump?

 

Under boost, mine would hit "0" as well (lift pump). My CP3 is putting out 20-21K PSI on stock setting. When I bump up my Rail Pressure on Level 1 on my TST, it will hit 26.5K PSI.

 

I have the Bd Lift Pump kit a Vulcan Big line kit. This is a great set up. I see 22-23 psi at idle and rarely ever see my pressure drop below 18 psi. This is a great kit, the oil pressure switch allows for easy starts. Easy install as well. As for noise, I here people comment on pumps being too loud. I can hear mine when standing out side next to the pump, (only cause I know its there basically). Other than that, it is not an issue. Paid $254 at Oregon Fuel Injection which is pretty much the going rate for this kit. Everything is included except a tubing cutter for stock lines if you still have them. The cost is less than $5 for this at Home Depot or Lowes.

 

awesome thats great to hear. thanks. thats more my price range

 

i just bought the walbro pump and big line/draw straw kit for the tank to the CP3 for 379.00 shipped to me and they sent it out saturday and just got it today with mondya being a holiday. i'm installing it this weekend. i can't wait.

 

Where did you get it?

 

directly from performance consulting (vulcan) in WA. genos garage gave me the number for them.

 

You are going to love it. Knowing that I do not have to worry about starving the CP3 makes me sleep good at night

 

Chet, go with the Glacier Diesel Pump, I may even buy one for myself, just as a backup.

 

Glacier has outstanding support, and Richard is second to none in support and technical and help. You will NOT be desopointed.


Oh yeah, he answer's the phone and will spend time talking to you if you have any questions. Thumps up!!!!!!!

 

At what point, as far as added HP, do you need one one these? Thanks.
