There wont be a difference in pressure just the flow and how well the pump and HOLD the pressure. the pressure in the fuel rail is adjusted by the fuel pressure regulator

cool, so whats this pressure difference thing, i just wanna know before i buy one, can someone explain what the stronger and normal thing is please?

I bought one from City Ford about 2 months ago, got it for around $210 i think. Great pump noticed my car revved better under load so I think my old pump was on its was out. Hard wired it directly to the battery for constant 13.8 V current. Definately worth buyin one I reckon

I got mine from from city ford too off Ebay for 190 delivered hows that for cheap. Been working great too

did you speak to daniel at city ford? he does good prices on alot of things he sells

[gun32gtr]

these a good upgrade for rb26?

[LTHLRB]

yes they are, they are a very good fuel pump

[Hulk1010]

thanks for the replies, i just wanted to be sure before i picked one up. One last question, do i need to hard wire it directly to the battery?

[Hulk1010]

can someone please confirm if it NEEDS to be hard wired directly to the battery, I need to know before i get it installed

thanks

[Drift Freak]

It is a good idea, if you don't you won't get the qouted fuel supply as it doesn't have the specified voltage because the the standard loom only supplys around 11.6V.

[RB30-POWER]

out of interest do these 040 pumps come with a non-return valve or have to buy that seperate?

[tacker]

doesnt need to hard wired but gives much better flow if you do, same for a standard pump as well

[Hulk1010]

i bought the pump but havn't installed it yet, i read somewhere (can't remember where) that u might need to replace the lines/wiring from the stock ones, is this true?

[tacker]

No you use the old original wiring as your control or trigger for the 30Amp relay you need to install. you then run the larger cables from the battery both + and - to the area where your pump is. The negative cable goes directly onto the neg terminal of the pump the positive goes one side of the relay contact and then from the other side of the contact to the positive side of the pump.

Your control cables or old pump supply then connects to the coil of the relay one either side of the coil so when you turn your ign on it activates the coil and completes the circuit through the relay contacts and let power flow to the new pump.....easy really
