And to have never done anything remotely close to this (most is wheels and oil change), not too shabby to have it running leak free, on the coolant, oil and boost. Pretty fucking proud of myself!

What would you recommend for a LPFP, I won't ever be running e85 through it so I don't need anything extremely robust.
Congrats!! It is definitely a great feeling and half the fun!
Sounds like it has something similar to a fuel-it stage 1 (inline 255 in addition to the stock pump). This should be PLENTY of fuel for what you are doing. One of the pumps must be failing. It may be worth pulling the top hat to check to I would recommend a stage 2 style (walbro 450) bucketed pump. It mainly depends on your goals and what you are doing with the car.
I believe it is a 255 replacement to the original. I will have to tear it open to find out. I am looking to probably go for 600whp with meth/water. I would LIKE to hit 500whp on 93 alone, but I don't think that will be possible. Luckily with the LPFP dipping that low, there wasn't a lean condition or a misfire so I'll keep an eye on it and follow Ken's recommendation.
Isn't the 450 a little robust for the stock controller? I've read that 450 and up can burn it out, due to the current draw.
I have run a 450 on the stock controller for years with no issue. You will have some fluctuations in fuel pressure, but that is common. You should be just fine is a single 450 bucketed pump. The additional fueling will come from the meth. You wont run into any lean conditions until the high pressure tanks.
Alrighty, man this is adding up lol. So another $400 for the fuel, and possibly injectors down the line (have index10). FMIC @ $550 and want to swap to eldor coils at some point as well.
On an AT that would be absolute Max, 500 I would be comfortable with. I'm not trying to break records on an old ass car. I'd be perfectly happy at 500whp on $1500 turbos on a $7000 car
Update: The shop that did my install called and let me know what has happened. Rear Turbo seal blew because the VRSF inlet that was only a few weeks old had collapsed. Shawn from DAW replaced the Turbo anyway, free of charge. The shop is also knocking some $$$ off the re-install of the new turbos in inlets.
Hopefully there realiable at 500whp you don't wanna be uninstalling and installing constantly for stock location twins it's to much of a pia. That's the main reason I went with a top mount single
Another log with kick down disabled and throttle at 100.
Warlbro 450 is actually perfect and you need stage 2 to run meth. My tuner told me. The warlbro 525 is the one that need to be with hobb switch. Also if your fmic is not branded it could be a big issue because my buddy had non branded Ebay I intercooler and dyno it and it lost hik power. Be careful. Get vrsf 7.5 asap. Even if your getting meth. Btw I decided to get methanol as well! Hopefully this week will order it!! Cant wait to get to 600 whp
You can run meth with the stock lpfp. Meth has NOTHING to do with the lpfp system or really the HPFP unless you are spraying so much because you need to use it as fuel. I ran meth on my stock lpfp, plenty have and do.
525 draws too much and is a pain, not worth the gains over the tried and true 450. DIY a 450 for $120 bucks in your stock bucket or buy from @PFS . If you need more fuel than that be prepared to start dropping serious coin.
I agree with a knock off no name IC. Just spend the money once and get the BMS or VRSF 'race' ICs. Go big or go home.
For everyone getting meth kits please get one with all the failsafes built in. Don't spray and pray, Jesus loves engines.
So is anyone else going to post up their balance sheets? Be nice to get to the bottom of that one.
Sweet, got my Blackstone back today. Not bad for a 106k mile engine. Guess a stage 2 from fuel it is my next purchase.
