How much HP does fuel line support?

How much HP does fuel line support?

Recommended Size, Based on Horsepower

What size fuel line do I need for 500hp?

Recommended MINIMUM Feed Line Size: 3/8″ (or -6AN) up to 450 hp; 1/2″ (or -8AN) up to 550 hp. The 383 I’m building will be in the 500-540HP range.

What size fuel line do I need for 1000 HP?

There are many factors that can dictate fuel line size and it is not just horsepower goals. For instance, an 8AN feed line and 6AN return line on a 1000 horsepower gasoline or race gas powered LS with 30psi is sufficient.

How much HP can a 3/8 fuel line support?

A 3/8”id fuel line can easily support 600 HP given sufficient “pump head”! Given a big enough pump a 3/8” steel line could support 1000 HP. The simple way to know is to install an electronic fuel pressure gauge. If the pressure falls as the engine RPM’s go up you need more pump head.

What size is 6AN fuel line?

3/8″ OD

FYI: Popular fuel line sizes: -6AN (=3/8″ OD) -8AN (=1/2″ OD) -10AN (=5/8″ OD)

Can a fuel line be too big?

If the diameter is too big: the lines will take longer to pressurize. If your pump can’t maintain the pressure, it can drop during times of high demand, leading to engine damage. It is an unnecessary expense, bigger is more expensive.

How much HP will a Holley black support?

The Holley Red pump flows 97 gph and supports 425 hp, while the Blue pump flows 110 gph and supports 550 hp. Stepping up to the Black pump yields 140 gph and 750 hp.

How much horsepower will a 5/16 fuel line support?

If you’re just cruising around with a carbed SBC, you’ll probably be fine with a 5/16″ line up to about 500 HP because you’ll never tax the system enough to starve the motor of fuel.

How much HP will a Holley Blue support?

550 hp
The Holley Red pump flows 97 gph and supports 425 hp, while the Blue pump flows 110 gph and supports 550 hp.

How many amps does a Holley Blue fuel pump draw?

3 amps
Blue pumps can provide 110 GPH free flow at only 3 amps and maintain 14 psi.

What’s the difference between a Holley blue and a Holley red fuel pump?

The red pump free flows 97 gallons per hour (GPH) while drawing only 2 amps and is capable of supplying a maximum of 7 PSI. Blue pumps can provide 110 GPH free flow at only 3 amps and maintain 14 psi.

What is the blue fuel pump?

The BLUE fuel pump is a high-pressure fuel pump which operates at a free flow 110 GPH at a set pressure of 14PSI (0.96BAR). We recommend the use of a carburettor fuel regulator. This meets the flow high performance carburettor applications. This motor draws 2 amps current and an 8amp fuse is recommended.

Does a Holley blue pump need a return line?

Fuel pressure is pre-set at 15 PSI and both a pressure regulator and 3/8″ return line to the tank are required. The high volume output of these pumps make them the natural choice for racers who will settle for nothing but the best.

How much pressure does a Holley Blue fuel pump put out?

14 psi
Flows 110 GPH (free flow) Flows 88 GPH at 9 psi. maximum pressure is 14 psi.

How much HP will a Holley blue support?

What color is E85 fuel?

Yellow
Yellow. In general, when you see a yellow gas pump handle, it signifies that it is an e85 gas pump. E85 is an alternative fuel often known as biofuel that is commonly created from corn. Ethanol is an alcohol compound that is used as an additive in most common fuels (unleaded, super unleaded, and premium).

Does a Holley red pump need a regulator?

Holley’s Red Electric fuel pump is a standard pressure street pump for gas only. It has a pressure preset of 7 psi and a free flow capacity of 97 gph. It flows 67 gph while maintaining 5 psi. No regulator required.

Whats better E85 or 93 octane?

Here’s a quick answer: The difference between E-85 and premium gasoline with an octane of 91 – 93 is that E-85, on average, produces 20% more horsepower, is 33% cheaper, and produces 40% fewer emissions. However, E-85 also has a 20 – 30% lower MPG and increases the amount of maintenance of the fuel system.

Is it OK to mix E85 with regular gas?

It’s perfectly safe to mix E85 with regular gas so long as you have a flex-fuel vehicle designed to handle fuel with high levels of ethanol.

How much HP will E85 add?

The benefits of E85 really come from the higher octane (up to 110, depending on ethanol content and quality). This allows some of the same benefits you see when using methanol injection, meaning you can run more spark (if needed) or boost. This normally translates to 25-50 or more horsepower on a forced-induction car.

Is E85 better than 93 octane?

E85 has an octane rating higher than that of regular gasoline’s typical rating of 87, or premium gasoline’s 91-93. This allows it to be used in higher-compression engines, which tend to produce more power per unit of displacement than their gasoline counterparts.

Why is E85 so cheap?

“The reason for that is because the main ingredient in E85 – ethanol – is priced far below gasoline right now. You look at the wholesale terminals where the fuel is blended and ethanol today is selling for about $2.80 a gallon. That compares to gasoline that is selling for about $4.20 a gallon.

Can I run E85 without a tune?

You will absolutely need a tune to run E85, there are plenty of options available for top notch tuners for the coyote platform.

Does E85 burn hotter?

E85 burns cooler than gasoline. This means less heat build-up in the engine. When enough heat builds up, the engine loses power.

Does E85 get better MPG?

MPG. Due to ethanol’s lower energy content, FFVs operating on E85 get roughly 15% to 27% fewer miles per gallon than when operating on regular gasoline, depending on the ethanol content. Regular gasoline typically contains about 10% ethanol.
