    Quick question about Gt 500 fuel pump

    With my setup, do i need a Gt 500 fuel pump?

    Kooks longtube headers
    2.57 pulley
    12% OD
    CAI

    And for those who don't know i have the M90.

    Thanks

    Read the thread about fuel pressure that AutoX posted and you make the call.

    YES!!!! Especially with the 12% OD!!!!

    How much boost are you pushing with that 12% OD?

    Yes it'd be a good idea with the 12% OD pulley.

    So if the 12 % OD were not to be involved here. Would I still need it?

    You could get away without the GT500 fuel setup without the 12% OD and still be within specs for fuel pressure...

    How much boost are you pushing with the 12% OD?
    What brand and where did you get it?

    the 12% OD balancer JDM sells is the same one Roush installs on the P-51s...not an IW.

    With an OD lower pulley you'll definitely need more fuel than the stock pump can supply. IW makes a 10% and 18% OD that retails for around $440, and there is the roush 12% OD.

    It sure doesn't look like what I've got sitting on my bench. The description says it was "designed by JDM".

    Then which pulley are you refering too if the one from JDM is not the same as the Roush one?
    I will probably be going with the 12% OD, thats why i am interested in knowing. Never heard of a Roush on til now.

    If you're going to get a OD crank pulley you should just look into the Innovators West pulley. It's a super nice billet pulley and also SFI approved. Justin/VMP can get both pulleys though.

    I ordered the one from JDM over a year ago and installed it with my M90. Then I ordered my TVS kit and the balancer in the TVS kit and the one I ordered from JDM a year ago were 100% the same.

    What did the 12% OD do for you with the M90...?

    I installed it the same time as my l/ts and I only remember seeing 1-2 psi. so maybe 2-3 psi w/o the headers?
