i have sard 720cc inj and a sard in tank fuel pump i was running out of fuel on the dyno up top due to a voltage drop what needs to be done to fix this i had a read but it made it even harder to under stand!

thanks in advance steve

basically the standard fuel pump wiring is shit house you usually get around 11v at best which is way under the rated 14.4v.

what you wanna do is replace this wiring with a cable straight from the battery to the boot to reduce resistance and bypass all the bullshit regulators....

you can then hook it up to a relay which will switch the power to the pump on and off.

if you have an amp in the boot you may be able to use that cable as long as it can handle the extra current.

ok thats prety much what i was thinking.....

so do i run the earth wire to from the battery to the relay?

do i run these new bigger wires to the pump its self also?

or cut into the stock wires near the pump?

sorry if i am no were near it haha i am new to all this!!

all i have ever done is cd players :)

some one has to of done this befor?

i know its not that hard just want to hear how people have gone about doing it?

as i have been told a few differnent answers all ready....

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
