    Running - 3.0L engine swap

    Finally got my 3.0 running on the ground. Now I have to see what I need to get it hooked up in the car. I'll have to look at pulling fuel pump and replacing it with a high flow pump and a return line. Either way I'm one step closer to finding all the problems that are in the DeLorean. Lol

    The stock fuel pump has pretty high flow and uses a return line.

    I'll have to see if it still works and put a gauge on it.

    High flow? The stock motor demanded much more from the fuel pump than the 3.0 does...

    Wut

    There's already a very high flow pump in the car stock, and there is already a return line.

    I'm guessing he doesn't know that EFI requires less than half the pressure K-Jet needs.... With that, I now wonder how he fueled his engine while running it on "the ground".
