Nice looking piece though. Whats the coin for that unit?
Well, this was custom for Julio If we build more triples they would go for around $550

I only see two pump fittings on the top flange. Does the third pump have its own separate fitting?

If you need the pumping capacity of three walbros, I'd think that a more beefy entire system would be required...

This could happen to any car 600whp and up.

They are all fed into a 1/2" port and then out to a AN line. Not every pump have its own oulet

Wouldn't a dual pump with a single inline be more efficient?

When you maxx out the dual setup the 3rd pump takes over. Its all in the tune im not going to give it all away but you should get the idea.


The main reason i didnt go with a ext. fuel pump like a weldon or a fuel cell. I want to keep the noise down. This will still be a street car for a few months after a get it back.

Running that much gas through a -8 port doesnt seem right. I would have personally ran it through at least a -10. Nice unit though!

I just realized that 3 walbro 255's will flow 480lb/hr @ 100psi, but with only 2 of the Buschur modified pumps you would get 500lb/hr.

It wouldn't matter unless you were running over 40lbs of boost, but it is something to keep in mind.

There is a reason why the modified pumps hold alot better up top and theres a reason why the regular ones dont. I am almost positive i know how the modified ones work but with respect to David Ill keep that to myself, otherwise it could open a big can of worms.
