Our Supercharged Monte Carlo Has Fuel Pressure Problems... We Upgrade the Pump AND Wires!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The host presents the components acquired for the upgrade. These include a new Holley 495 liters per hour (L/hr) in-tank fuel pump, various fittings from Earl's, and a Holley fuel filter. Critically, a Holley nitrous solenoid driver (P/N 15620NOS) is shown, which will be repurposed as a heavy-duty solid-state relay to provide a robust power feed to the fuel pump. A new fuel pressure gauge is also displayed, intended for monitoring the system's performance. The host notes that the existing pump is a 400 L/hr unit.

Goal: Identify and understand the components for the fuel system upgrade.

Tools and materials

  • Fuel Filter Holley — Ensuring clean fuel delivery to the engine
  • Fuel Pressure Gauge — Monitoring fuel system pressure
  • Holley 495 L/hr Fuel Pump Holley — The new, higher-flow fuel pump to be installed in the tank
  • MSD High-Current Solid-State Relay MSD
  • Old Fuel Pump — The existing pump that will be replaced
  • Wiring Kit — Providing necessary electrical connections for the relay

What they say

Hide

Fittings needed from Earls. Um, we are going to be putting a 495 liter per hour pump in the tank in the stock stock spot stock for the tank in there. It's got all the necessary hardware and whatnot to install it with a new sock and everything which is good. And the pump in the car now is a 400. I believe that's like a old tanks inc kit and it couldn't hang. So, and the power feed we're going to be using for this is actually nitrous solenoid driver, but we're going to use it for a fuel pump. It's basically a solid state relay that's really heavy duty. It's this thing right in here. I don't know what I have used one of these for, but I know I've messed with one of these. Like, there's one of these in the Escalade somewhere. I just don't remember where it is because I have 100% used this for something somewhere. So, we got a filter and a new gauge just to make sure it's all good. So, for those
