So how about minus the fuel pump, injectors and turbo? I am planning on using the intake pump going into a surge tank with an external pump. From my research this is a way better option then ruining the fuel pickup when low on fuel. I also probably need around an 800cc injector. Pumping into a surge tank lets you make alot power with an external walbro 255, vs putting one in the tank.

You pump the fuel with the stock pump into the surge tank, after the surge tank you hook up a external pump. The intank pump operates at like 0 pressure. The external pump already has fuel being pushed into it wich in turn increases its capacity because its not pulling fuel out of the tank and pushing it into the engine. It will nearly double the capacity of the external pump. This way you never have to mess with your internal oem fuel pump, and run into the crap of not being able to pick up fuel when you are low on fuel in the tank.

Jesus J, I just noticed the tranny cross member and realized how far it was too. Like a baby STS. But then he couldn't commit... And it's also a single unless he mounted the other one on the roof or next the the sideview mirror.

What are you guys talking about? It's less exhaust piping to the turbo than Turbonetics type kits. Go under the car and take some measurements and you will see. Also, there are not 180deg turns anywhere, 45deg at most. Doesn't even come close to the STS kit. Not to mention that your down pipe isn't the full length of the car, again, like the Turbonetics type kits.


Here ya go, 3 feet from the driver side header to the turbo:






Notice how the exhaust is (at all times) going towards the turbo..

If you are not familiar, maybe you shouldn't comment. Clearly, you are one of those that has never gone under the car.


FYI, the Probe has an internal combustion engine just like the Z. So just like the Z'd, you can boost it. I know, crazy. What f...ing difference does it make, it's just a car. I learned more on that car about FI than most (not all) Z owners ever will. I think you are in the "most" category.

Why only one flex pipe on the one header down tube? Why not both sides?

There is not need for two. The one is there to eliminate stress between the two banks during heating/cooling cycles. If it was all solid, welds would start braking. This is why T-netics had issues with the wastegat, and the welds cracking.
