I just ordered my 2.4L LE5 ecotec from Alfafab today. They told me to set the fuel pressure at 58 PSI. Any of you ecotec guys recommend a fuel pump? Also what exhaust did you guys go with? Im very excited. Cant wait to get it in and running.

We have a four ecotecs in our group, and we all run the carter p5000 fuel pump. It has proven to be very a dependable pump. On the LE5 engine we set the fuel pressure to 58 psi per the factory spec. |

I used the e2000 I think its from the late 80's ford trucks. The one thing I found was I was told that these are returnless fuel systems, this may be true when using the ecotec fuel system, I discovered that anything with a higher psi will require a return regulator, I bought the cheapest from JEGS. I set mine at the above mentioned psi but the pump would overheat until I put in a return with a T to the inlet. All was good after that. As far as exhaust I used the stock exhaust manifold, made a flange out of 1/4 steel and bought a couple 2" jbends from JEGS, I also added a small clamp in supertrapp that I welded in. Enjoy. Lancaster is not to far from me, if you wanna take a trip to Pottstown your more than welcome. If I can do it, anybody can. I did have to call back Sean for an updated wire diagram, to which he got it to me promptly. |

Thank you all for the feed back. Baja I have never done a fuel system install. I got a regulator and pump but not sure how to hook everything up. Does the regulator go after the pump but before the fuel rail? The regulator I got has 3 ports but the small one is for a vacuum hook up which I don't need. Could you send a pic of a diagram for how your system is hooked up? I can give you my number so you can text it. How was the wiring to hook up for the engine? They made it sound very easy. |
