Fuel System
Ok im new to the website and igot a 2000 neon.
But besides that my fuel pump gave out and i was putting a walbro 255 on it and from what ive read i can run it as long as the car has a fuel return line.
So my question is.
Is this true???
Do neons have fuel return lines?
If not where can i get it?
Any ideas Im open to any sugestions.

RE: Fuel System
thanks for the replys i was just wondering if that would hurt it cause if i put that fuel pump pushing alot more fuel i didnt know where it would go unless it just broke something else like my injectors or something. Would that not be pushing alot of pressure or would it just send what is needed?

RE: Fuel System
well the PCM is programmed for the stock pump which is a lot smaller than the walbro 255, so the PCM will think that it is sending the same amount of fuel, but in reality it will be sending quite a bit more, so yes you might need a return line, with a Fuel pressure reg. because under heavy load... lets say you flooring it for w/e reason, youcould end up blowing one of the fuel lines, or possibly damaging one of the injectors. If you think about it your trying to put a lot more fuel into a space where the volume does not change, so you will be increasing your fuel pressure dramatically, which unless you are running a turbo with a return line, FPR, and an A/F controller. among other things, but thats just my thought on it. personally i would not be willing to risk blowing one of my fuel lines or screwing up the injectors. In spikey's case i think that maybe he is either lucky or i could be wrong, but it also depends on what mods you have on your car. if its 100% stock you could be looking at much worse fuel economy, among the previously stated problems. but either way good luck with it, let me know how it turns out.

izero,
....there is no way too increase the feul pressure if you have the stock feul pressure regulator hooked up so YOU WON'T RUN RICH
The walboro has potentail too flow more but if the motor does notrequire more fuel, it wont give more since its being regulated. The feul pump only job is too keep the pressure at 58psi. Sounless you ad bigger injecters or the change the pulse width of the injecter it cant run rich at 58psi
