Hi, I'm wanting to fit an electric fuel pump to my 998cc A series engine. Its standard but i have fitted an electronic ignition system, extractors, alloy manifold with a SU HS4. What pump do you suggest and will it need a fuel regulator? Thanks |

The square shaped facets are used by quite a few people, readily available at pepe's; bursons, repco etc and cost around $100. I used to run one on a modded 1293 with a 40mm then 45mm weber. Mount it on rubber exhaust mount type bobbins. Most people mount them on the rear subframe. You shouldn't need a regulator, but holley and malpassi do suitable ones. Webers and SU's don't need or like much pressure (probably 2-4psi). KB |

Square Facet ones work fine on an SU, Weber or Dellorto for road use without a regulator. Mine is a 40104N. IMO you only need a regulator if running a bigass pump, eg a Holley or something, on a race motor. A decent regulator would have a pressure gauge- IMO cheapo regs are not worth having. |

I have an SU-style fuel pump (not a genuine SU) for my 998, and it works great. The previous owner put it in. It's mounted in the engine bay near the radiator, I imagine it was just put where the existing hose to the mechanical fuel pump would fit. No regulator either. A bit like this: http://minisport.com.au/mini-su-fuel-pu ... -pos-earth |

The square Facet style ones come in a couple of different pressure ranges. Get the low one and you won't need the regulator. |

Facet pump info-... http://www.facet-purolator.com/cube-fuel-pumps.php re the mounting, I used a centre exhaust mount (the big rubber block). Pump holes are same spacing as it has. Just 1 hole to drill in the subframe web. Note wiring shown was unfinished.

When the pump is fitted at the rear, it's a "pusher" rather than a pump. Eg. Morris 1100 was fitted up front at the fire wall, that's a pump. Cooper 'S' at the rear. You can convert by changing valves. |

Facet square pumps are all `pusher' type. No user serviceable parts inside, they are sealed. But I find they are bloody reliable. And a spare if you need to carry one around Oz is cheap as chips. |

A Honda Prelude mid to late 80's pump is about the same size at a SU cylindrical pump. You find it mounted under-body, forward of left rear wheel. It's got rubber mounts, bullet terminals so comes with all the bits you need, well I needed anyway. |

Pierburg universal low pressure pumps work well and are very reliable http://www.injectacarb.com.au/fuel-pump ... -p-95.html |

I put in a ECCO 1LM12 pump http://www.fuelflow.co.nz/FF_cms_03/esh ... 8&TreeId=2 seems to be working fine so far. had some good feed back when i was researching |

Even though the OP probably has most likely done what they have needed to, but for anyone else that happens across this thread, I am a definite +1 for the facet style pump. I use the Goss GE242 (3 - 4.5psi) on my tickled 1275 with an HIF44. About $80 from most popular auto joints. http://www.goss.com.au/products/GE242 |

I have a silver top pump and malpassi regulator, mounted the pump on subframe under the fuel tank and regulator in the engine bay near the wiper motor.
