Can Torrie verify from looks of your LPFP if the one from the Supercharged Shelby Mustang, or from Ford GT would work. If the Walbro would fit, you might just need a different plug that you can wire into Ford's loop. This is an issue with G8's using the ZR-1 pump. Works with the proper plug.
Also... may just be off base... This is black hole technology for me, but like daily diets for some.

I see you are trying to adapt the Walbro to the Ford housing... correct?
Thinking there are other avenues to go... A Ford pump from the Ford GT or Shelby, Squash Performance, or Lonnies or some other system provides you with a new housing that would lock into the Ford Gas Tank...
Sorry if I am way off base... Somewhere... somehow there is a solution... :bangin: :bangin:

That's what my friend Tom Scott (Wreckwriter) a moderator on GRRRR8 Net uses on his 9 second G8. He is running a 175 shot of Nitrous with his ProCharger setup, with a stock bottom end on his 6.0 engine.
Good Luck!

Are you planning to fuel both your DI pump and the low pressure injectors from you Ford fuel tank, or are you thinking of having an auxiliary fuel tank for the low pressure injectors. Also how are you coordinating the nitrous with the low pressure fuel injectors? Are you including a low fuel/low fuel pressure shutoff or some control over nitrous if A/F/ Lambda
gets too lean?
I know you want to run E-85 thru entire fuel system and that's why you are upgrading stock pump volume. Just wondering how you are going to attempt to handle everything else...

Yes, everything from the factory fuel tankEcoBrick Bob said:
The AIC1 controller has the ability to do 2 fuel maps, one for regular and one for nitrous armed so that I can just use this system to provide fuel for the nitrous and the engine depending on what's going on. Yes there will be a low fuel pressure safety switch. As far as the AFR I'm working with the Torque app devs to make me a plugin so that when at full throttle and boost over 6 PSI if AFR goes over 12.2 to flash the entire tablet screen red so I have a gauge.EcoBrick Bob said:
On the V6 transverse chassis you can pull the carpet back and there's an access hatch in the passenger rear under the seat. Wasn't hard to get to at all, the pump ring was a PITA to take off though, big freaking hammer and a big flathead and some serious wacking. There's a tool for it but I couldn't find it.

It is really easy if you have mid-row buckets!
For anyone who is thinking about a Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump, you wire in on the pass side B-Pillar on Flex just above the FP relay. Believe this relay is in the trunk in the SHO, on the pass side.

This is the wrench to remove the ring but it isn't cheap.
