Building a TPI fuel system

Guys, I am swapping a TPI engine out of a 90 GTA into my old nova. I am wondering if this attached diagram (sorry MS Paint is no autocad) will work in my application.

Any thoughts would be welcomed. Especially the placement of the AFPR.

Re: Building a TPI fuel system

you might want to rethink this, I have used Competition Engineering C4040 Gas Tank Sump on the bottom of a stock 67 camaro tank and a external acdelco ep185 pump and used the stock tank supply as a return and had no starvation issues. if your needing a afpr to compensate for engine modifications you can just upgrade your stock tpi regulator. Or you can do it like this....

Re: Building a TPI fuel system

The AFPR (Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator) IIRC is built on the TPI fuel rails themselves. Its placement should be the esiest part of the swap.

Re: Building a TPI fuel system

Hey man, if you are doing a custom set up , just use the rails. I threaded two fittings to the rear of each rail and then use the rails that T-back into one line that goes to the FPR

Here are a couple pictures






The line that splits into two is the feed and the single coming out is the return that goes to the regulator......

Re: Building a TPI fuel system

looks like it would be most cost effective to baffle the tank. The engine will remain pretty much stock so perhaps I don't even need the afpr.

Re: Building a TPI fuel system

I recently saw these fuel pickups, and thought they might be a good alternative to baffling. Looks like they can even be installed in series in the tank.
