Building New Carbureted Engine Combination / Fuel Pump

I’m building a new carbureted engine combination, what fuel pump do I need?

Developing a new pump involves extensive prototyping, testing, and creating supporting components like filters, regulators, and fittings to form a complete fuel system. This eliminates guesswork, making it easier for you to choose the right setup. Simply determine your engine’s peak horsepower and required fuel pressure (including boost reference if needed). Aeromotive’s System Diagrams, available online and in catalogs, guide you step-by-step, starting with low-horsepower systems and scaling up.

Estimate flywheel horsepower (FWHP) by dividing wheel horsepower (WHP) by 0.85 to account for drivetrain losses. For example, 500 WHP equals 588 FWHP. Aeromotive provides horsepower ratings for each pump, covering naturally aspirated, forced induction, carbureted, and EFI applications. For detailed fuel delivery calculations, ask to consult a technician.
