9psi is way too much. :cry:

I use a Purolator square one (5/16" lines) on Barney (twin HS4s) and a TRW square one (1/4" lines) on Ha-Ha (45 Dellorto). Both these pumps are the same as a Facet one.
I mount them on a Mini square centre exhaust mount to shut 'em up... 8)

Most spares places carry these pumps, or can get.

Both pumps are running without a regulator, no problems or flooding.

You will need to run a 12V+ wire from ignition switch, or bottom fuse.

That's it, slightly below rrp but not by much, probably dearer when shipping is added.

ok my last question:

id say the black wire would just be earthed on the chassis but where does the + red one go so that the pump only works when the ignition is on (clubbie by the way)

If you are going to Turbo it, you'll need pressure.....

I run a Holley Blue pump on mine, it can go to about 19PSI (With out mods - mine can go to about 24Psi :twisted: )

Need a rising rate Reg though.. luckily the Blue comes with a reg that can be modded to suit..... drop me an email if you need the details....

They are Noisy, nasty and Loud... but by god, I've never had a fuel-related hassle yet !

remember, you'll ALWAYS need at least 3Psi ABOVE Boost pressure.....so if you run 14PSI Boost, you'll need 17PSI Fuel Pressure...
