It converts to 162.77 LPH. That shouldn't be too much for the stock FPR since the 155 LPH pump seems to work fine. The only thing I could see that would need to be considered is where to mount it. Some pumps are better at pulling than pushing, or like the stock pump that pushes better than pulls. You'd need to consider that, and maybe if it needs to be mounted in a direct airflow, or if the fuel running through it is enough to keep it cool.

I believe mechanical pumps are better at pulling, where electrical pumps are better at pushing.

I would assume that an external electric pump was designed to pull and also to keep itself cool enough not to die quickly.

Im sure its designed to be a pusher style, most of these style of aftermarket pumps are from other "in tank" applications, rebadged and instead of a sock mounted on the intake they stick on a barbed fitting. As for cooling I was thinking of wrapping one of these around it.

The stock SHOGUN fuel pump location was behind the fuel cell, bolted to the front fire wall, a little towards the top. It can be seen here.

Bumping this one up.

Got a few questions about using it with the stock stuff (FPR/injectors). The pump says it max psi is 85psi. Is that going to be a problem or is the FPR going to it's job and lower it enough to 39psi (idle IIRC). or is different FPR needed?? 160l/hr is perfect for the project. And obviouly this is a not in a SHO so beside just getting (and returning) the fuel to the engine , the engine will not know the difference from a stock setup....correct???

Thanks
