Fuel system?
I was thinking of upgrading my fuel system and I have a lot of options. Feel free to help out with any info you've got.
Twin intank Walbro fuel pump
10 gauge power wire with two 20amp relays to fuel pumps
-6AN SS lines
Aeromotive A1000 FPR
Aeromotive fuel filter
Still unsure of the rails and injectors that Im going to go with

Why are you upgrading your fuel system? Did you get bigger turbo?
What's the flow rate on your stock pump?
I know that w/ my car, some people get a higher-rate pump or a Skyline fuel pump (eventhough it's close to a stock 300ZX pump). However, the stock fuel pump supposedly can support up to 750HP. I'm not sure if that's accurate, but I know it is good for at least 500HP. So upgrading that part is a waste of money.
As for injectors, the size will depend on what you are doing w/ the rest of the car. Again, need to know what major changes you have made.

That'd be one hell of a fuel system and you'd never have to look back. Talk to Shannon, he just did his pump and lines not to long ago with the Aero pump. That thing was a monster.

The stock supra pump is a denso that flows 290lph. Supports 5xx hp.
Lenny I'd say supraforums is a better venue to find out what you should get instead of listening to people on here who generally don't have much supra specific knowledge.

I cant ever get onto supraforums
sucks... The only benefit of upgrading to a walbro (better yet, twin walbro pumps) is the reliability. I hear that the walbro's flow rate is at 257lph compared to the stock 290lph but twin walbro's should do me good for whatever I need. Reliability is a major factor.
FastX7 I've been talking to Shannon, we'll see what we can come up with. I'd rather over do it than have major issues in the future.

Like HEAT said, check out what the other Supra drivers are doing.
And you still haven't told us why you need extra fuel. Are you being a top-secret dickhead; or did you just run out of things to modify?

From what I have heard, most supra people are putting in dual walbro's. And as of why I am asking, I am preparing for a project that will happen later this year...well, maybe not later, but this year. I'll let you know when I go single, its not secret. Besides, I'll prolly need help with the tuning. First project is the 6spd, then AEM ECU, stereo system (working on as we speak), suspension, fuel, some body work, then single (maybe big twins)
