How was the install to the bottom of canister? How did you manuver around, take it off, or work upside down? Is this the pre-filter spot or post filter?

Also, check your cruisin numbers; fuel pressure 70?

 

Opps that does look like 70, it jumbled it all together when it posted. It should read cruisin at 70mph....fp=10.
Too reach the bottom I was planning on having at it from under the truck but upon further inspection it was easier to climb up my tire and kneel on the battery and fender with an arm on the valve cover and the other reaching down in to the bottom of the canister. Looks like a pain to get to, but I found that it was not that bad at all.

 

I was looking at the same situation last night. Is this the pressure side to the filter or after? Where did you end up getting your tapped banjo bolt?

 

Get the banjo from Genos. Just thinking about wether it is pre or post and Im not sure off the top of my head without looking at the whole set up, hopefully someone that knows on here will chime in. I also still need some info on my numbers.

 

I was trying to remember some other threads regarding acceptable pressures. I thought I read that you want at least 7 or 8 at WOT. But don't quote me on that nor do I want to scare you. I'm hoping to keep this thread going too so we both can get a answer.

 

TXRAM2 is saying connecting to the bottom of the filter gives you post filter.

 

I missed that one. Sorry. A question I have for all is, is it best to run post filter or prefilter. I would suspect prefilter if you want to monitor the lp. If you want to watch for a dirty filter you should go post? Or do you want to go post filter so you know what the VP 44 is seeing?

 

If the critical thing is how much pressure is getting to the injector pump, and the filter is before the injector pump, it would seem like you would want to monitor post filter wouldn't it?

 

I would agree with you on that statement. I think as long as you monitor the pressure and then see it sliding the you can assume one of two things is happening; dirty filter or pump going south.

 

That's right, for our trucks, post filter (off the bottom) is where you want to read from.
I've got the 5 high flow banjos for sale in my classifieds and a Holley Blue which can be used as a pusher.
jeephauler.... 8psi is the commonly accepted low pressure at WOT. 5psi IMHO is TOO low ! 14 or 15 psi is a clean filter and a healthy stock LP at idle.
Pics in my gallery of my old banjo (the high flows 4sale) setup too.

 

Dodge now uses volume test rather than pressure for evaluating lift pumps.

 

Moose10, tell me more about the set up with all the larger banjos (where do they go), and i started looking into the pusher pump idea due to lack of funds for FASS. How much trouble is it to do the pusher and where does it go, etc..... I may be interested in your stuff for sale.

 

My mistake on the 1/16" line. I ended up using 1/8" O.D. teflon line and compression fittings. The line is opaque with a slighty blueish tint to it and is fairly hard and stiff. It was real easy to work with and holds its shape and stays where you put it without sagging, kinking, or anything.

 

Sorry about the delay jeephauler, I've been out of town snowmachining since Friday morning. Anyway, the banjos go like this....one into the VP44, the tapped one to the bottom (outlet) of the filter housing, one on the inlet of the filter housing, then one each to the inlet and outlet of the stock LP. They have a .187" opening as opposed to the stock .130" opening, and are quite easy to install.
The pusher ideally goes just off the tank. You can mount a relay under the hood and tap into the + wire of the stock LP to fire the pusher.
If you need/want more fuel pressure this is the cheapest & most effective way to go IMHO.

 

Sounds fairly simple, but from stuff Ive been reading, those pumps dont last all that long. Im kinda thinking that I should just wait till I have the funds to do the FASS.
