I'm going to be doing a fuel line tuck using a russell 40 micron filter and I'm just trying to make sure it's a good enough filter to support 400whp. Anyone else boosted running this and only this filter? Here is a pic for reference...

Factory filter is 7 micron so your not filtering as good. I would look for something that is at least 10 micron.

 

What about it's size. Is it a large enough capacity? Fuelab makes one that's 10 micron and 5" long for $95. http://fuelab.com/virtuemart/fuel-fi...fuelab-filters

 

JEGS!

 

Jeg's what? brand filter or where to order from? All my fittings howed up today from them. Only thing I still need to get it a filter. I ordered the 5" long 10 micron filter by Fuelab from MA Performance but it's on back order. I'd love to go with the Russell or Earls filter since it's not $94 like the other one. That would give me the extra money for a fuel rail. I also don't want to cheap out on a filter and ruin a newly built motor either. I'll just stick with the one I have on order.

 

Yeah JEGS brand fuel filter

 

I have fuel labs in stock. Let me know.

 

Well crap I just ordered a clutch line and block fittings from you last week.

 

I'm running a 40micron russells from fast-turbo.com..stock filters have definitely seen 400+whp I'm sure u won't have a problem lol
The limiting factor isn't the filter itself but rather the oem banjo fittings..larger Micron filters ex..100microns go pre pump something like a 40microns go pre rail

 

From what I've read the pump sock is 40 micron. Then our firewall filter is 10 micron. Then the screens in the injectors are 7-10. Conflicting info lol. I'll just with the fuelab filter.

 

not really, the point i was trying to make the number of microns go down as they get closer to the injector..

$70, 10 micron

That is what I run and the quality is excellent. I actually purchased the 100 micron stainless for alcohol originally and if you see a 100 micron filter you would say how the hell can any particle damage or block something that is that small. Seriously I think a particle of dust would block a few holes by itself lol.

 

it only comes in -8an fittings. I need -6an.

 

yeah I understand that. So why would you put another 40 micron filter in the system when that's what the pump sock is and the firewall filter is 10 micron. I'm going with a 10 micron no matter what. As far as filter choice I want the biggest possible. The fuelab is 5" long and 2' in diameter. I'll just stick with it. Not a big deal.

 

Ah gotcha, I just used reducers to -6AN lol.

 

i used to use a summit racing inline filter -6. i think it was around 30 micron, had it mounted on the firewall. made 400 hp for a few years till i took the swap out and sold the car
