I've purchased a fairly stock vx series CV8 Monaro. I'm about to convert it to an LS3 I've recently purchased and need some confirmation regarding the fuel system.
I'm using a 58x to 24x converter so I cam run the vx ecu. I've got all the vcm extension harnesses for knock sensors etc and have the mechanical side of things covered. I'm just unsure on the fuel system.
I'm going to be doing club sprints etc so I'm going to use an aeroflow external surge tank that allows you to use an 040 internal pump. My understanding is that the stock vx ls1 fuel pressure regulator is part of the tank? I know there is a dampner on the old ls1 rail.
I was going to use the stock in tank pump to supply the surge tank and then the 040 feeds from the surge tank to a filter then an aftermarket reg before running to the factory LS3 rail. The surge tank will return back to the main tank.
Does this sound right, and if so any guidance on desired pressure? Putting a cam and springs in as well to wake it up a bit.
Cheers
