fitech efi in November

[Kain]

i plan on switching to in tank i just cant add 300 bucks on top of the 1400 im going to be spending in two weeks.
in january ill get the tank in febuary ill get thew sender and the pump. and in beetween i need all 4 tires

 

[Kain]

can i add the tbi sending unit to my tank then switch when i can afford it? will it fit?

I thought the only difference in the tank was the baffling.

this is the sending unit, found the pump off amazon for 85 total for pump screen and fuel filter

For the price of that fuel pump kit, I would just buy a TBI tank and sending unit and get an EP381 pump, then run your own lines up to the throttle body (many different ways to do it and cost different amounts). You may be a little more money into it then the kit you linked, but in the long run it will be way worth it. In-tank pumps are always better than in-line....just my $0.02 is all.

I really like the new FITech kit. I want to put this exact setup on my dads 84 3/4ton suburban that we have as a hunting rig....these things are perfect for stuff like that

trying to get the stuff and see if i can swing a in tank pump.if the tbi sender work in my tank and swap at a later date to a tank with baffles. my sender just took a dump so i have to change anyway

i think so and the pump will last longer and be cheaper. i am going in the morning to ask the parts guy that knows his stuff then ill tell what i find. I think this way will be a smarter way than an external pump i have to change

 

[Kain]

i got to figure out the sending unit wiring then get it

Consider the fact that although less demand, vehicles ran non baffled non trayed tanks for years with limited issues. I think you're making the right choice. Also if the system comes with a regulator just go with a vortec pump.

 

[Kain]

fi tech has built in regulator whats the vortec pump?
this is the one i was looking at

i got the sender and the pump today, looks like it will fit. i just have o get fuel line and the rest of the fittings.
going to look in the chiltons for which wire is the sender and which is the pump. unless one of you guys can enlighten me on that one.

 

[gonefishin]

how long until you have it up and running? i am really wanting to put this in my blazer

 

[Kain]

ill have to get the system in a week then see what fittings ill need.the lines will cost me a hundred fifty bucks just by themselves. im hoping mid november early december

 

[gonefishin]

Can't recall off the top of my head which is which, but a quick continuity check will tell you. Sending unit wire will show varying resistance as you move the float arm.

 

[Kain]

ya i was going to play with the headlight wiring in the morning to find the right comb and check that at the same time. also check oreilys for the pig tail that is on the sending unit so i can make it a good conection. just read on how to check it too.

 

[Kain]

if you get the same sending unit i did from spectra, the purple wire is for the sending unit

 

[Kain]

some one has a build thread with the part numbers for the fittings on the sending unit and i cant find it can some one help with that
