I know the SVT Focus fuel pump is used when people are blown or spraying, but is there any advantage to using the focus pump on N/A stangs? Would it help my Mach or do I need to be pushing more HP before it would do any good?

Thanks.

 

Your factory Fuel pump is fine. Like u said...u only need a SVT focus fuel pump if u have serious HP via blower...Nitrous. the SVT Fuel Pump can deliver MORE fuel than the our fuel pumps. Thus is why they are needed to support a Blown/Nitrous stang... its all about the air/fuel ratio.

there is no advantage using a Focus fuel pump on an N/A stang.

 

What he said.......but if your looking into doing some power adder in the near future doesnt hurt to put one in

 

Also won't hurt if you wanna put one in

 

If your pump ever goes out AND if there is EVER any chance of going boosted...put it in. I drove for 2 weeks N/A with NO PROBLEMS!!

 

Think of it this way guys......its supply and demand putting a focus fuel pump will not make you run rich the reason behind the bigger fuel pump is so that you dont run out of fuel and go lean when you exceed the limit of the stock fuel pump that you had in there. Its just a good precaution in case you ever do go boosted

 

it never hurts to prepare for future mods. I always wondered if going with bigger MAF, injectors and fuel pump, and tune would help alittle. I think the next mustang I get I will be doing that with maybe cams and bigger plenum, TB, and porting of the heads with exhuast upgrades headers back.

 

I know for a fact I'll never spray and S/C is not in the plan at all.....so from what I've gathered is that it wouldn't help me any if I'm not going to spray or S/C the car, but it wouldn't hurt anything to put one in? Is that about right?

 

Couldnt of said it better myself :shifty: i use a Focus pump on my car, yes I run nitrous on it but for the most part the nitrous doesnt get used except for when racing at the the track. So to get to the point the car is running N/A most of the time and it has ZERO effects on it!

 

If you are planning to do upgrades tho(nitrous,blower,major HP upgrades), you mise well go ahead and get it.

 

You car came with it didnt it? My 35th anniverserary did. Is yours the real 35th? Honeycomb ect?

 

ive got a bigger pump but its not a focus......

1 1/2 years going strong with no problems!

 

hey JJT.. do you work over at Koll Center? There's a DSG Mach1 that belongs to someone that works in my building... you?

 

BTW... I've got a Vortech 255 intank. No issues. It's there to feed the incoming 5.4.

 

Nope, that's not me..... I work in downtown Oakland, but I have seen a couple of DSG Mach's around Dublin.

 

Mine is definetly a real 35th Anniv. #4323 in Crystal clear coat white (Only 500 35ths in white :shifty: ) And no it didnt come with the Focus pump.

 

I ran my car NA with the svt focus pump for several months before I was able to install my blower. Now I'm at the limit of that fuel pump lol

 

I'm not even sure that 99 focus's had the pump yet. I believe it was a later thing. And you bought your GT new?

 

yep my Dad owns a black one still to this day...I dont know the number or anything.



yep it was new. I have a friend at DallasMustang and they claim the 35th came with the fuel pump.
