Walbro "two-pump" system?
Hi!
Is there any sense to make a Walbro "two-pump" system? What I mean is, I have already Walbro 255LPH In-tank pump in my gas tank, and now i ordered Bosch 1000cc injectors from Xenocron and took a Walbro Inline pump with the kit because I got it cheaper than normally as a "saving package". Car is Acura Integra -90 with a built B16A2 motor.
Would it be better to install the inline pump into the car along with the intank pump so that both of them are in use full time or should I just make some money with it and sell it away?
I know that in-tank pump only by itself will make the car last to about 600hp at least, but why I thought to make a "two-pump" system is reliability; if one of them fails under heavy acceleration, the other of them continues its working still and no damage will occur to the engine. I don´t know what happens if gas pump suddenly stops pumping, will I notice it before anything bad happens or not? I´m driving with Crome, I´m not sure is there a chance to make car stop running (shut down ignition for example) if fuel pressure suddenly goes near to zero?
Does any of you drive with two gas pumps running, or do you know anyone who does? And do you think is it worth it or not. Thanks!

Re: Walbro "two-pump" system?
Well, I´m not eager to take my tank down anymore to put another pumps there (I hope I won´t have to do it ever again actually :D), that´s why I thought to put another pump inline under the hood, because it would be easy to install. But does anybody do so, or will there be some problems because there are two pumps. Cavitation or something like that possibly..? I think there wouldn´t be any problems since they would be working both at the same time? Or is there some affect to the masses they produce or fuel pressure when there are two pumps instead of one?

Keep the Walbro in the tank and put the inline walbro between the fuel rail and the fuel filter. If you dont want to spend money
If you dont mind spending some coin the pick up a Bosch 044 inline and do the same thing and you will have a fueling system good for more power than your looking for im sure. According to mr palo bosch injectors with a wlabor intake and bosch inline can make 800+whp with a -6 line
