Im using dual intank 255 walbros, professional products fuel rails,a boost referenced regulator and 60 lb injectors. Unless your going forced induction you dont need much of the this. You should be able to get by with a single walbro in the tank and a regulator to get the fuel back the tank unless your swapping in an ls1 tank as well.

Re: 91 Z 6.0 turbo project

Do you have any better pics of how you welded the t4 flange?

what do mean by "unless you're swapping in an ls1 tank"? i'm in the process of putting my ls1 tank in. I've got a racetronix pump with the hot wire harness. i dont want to have to pull the tank back out later lol i want to be set on fuel for a long while

Because the ls1 tank does not use a return line, its regulated at the tank. It would probably make for a cleaner install that way. And also im not sure what people are doing about the fuel gauge with that tank, it would be fine if your using an ls1 cluster because the fuel gauge on an ls1 4th gen goes from the tank to the pcm and then to the cluster, its not an ohm resistance set up like a 3rd gen. Other people may have a way around it and still using the 3rd gen gauge but I dont have experience with that myself.

I dont off hand but I will be taking off my whole turbo set up soon to get it ceramic coated, I can get some pics then. It took some heat and some hammering to get the pipe to merge into the t4 flange but it ended up looking pretty good.
