Yes these return fuel systems get expensive real quick.
How much power are you gunning for?
I pieced together a return system using the single Aeromotive Eliminator pump and their pump controller, I have $1300 in it using new and parts picked up off the forums. That pump is good for roughly 900rwhp on corn ....
Conventional 3-pump setup using the ON3 Fuel Hat using new parts should be able to get it under $1500 ..
ON3 2005 – 2010 CNC Billet Mustang GT 3v 4.6 Fuel Hat …...... $290.00
TI Auto F90000267 ... E85 ................................. $110.00 x3 .. $330.00
FC3 Dual/Triple Pump Staged Controller …............................... $209.00
3V Fuel Rails ….......................................................................... $200.00
2 Port EFI 1:1 Boost Reference Regulator …........................... $160.00
Summit Racing One-Way Check Valve SUM-220193B ............... $50.00
8-an Fuel Hose 20ft …............................................................. $150.00
Inline Billet Fuel Filter E85 ….................................................... $50.00
