2.8ltr fuel flow rate

Post by Eddie in TO »

Does anyone know what the fuel flow rate a 2.8ltr requires?

I see the external full pump was used in many BMW models (E28/E32/E30, etc...). Anyone know what this fuel pump is capable of delivering?

Thanks in advance,
Eddie

The stock pump is 140 lph. Most of the Forced Induction crowd upgrade to a 255lph Walbro in-tank pump. They're less-expensive than the stock Bosch pieces. I don't see a problem with sending more fuel than necessary up front. The FPR takes care of the excess.
