MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP FOR ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION

THOMASVILLE, NC: The thought of using a mechanical fuel pump on a fuel-injected small-block Chevy engine might seem crazy at first, but RacePumps has made it a reality! With an unregulated pressure of 150 PSI, the VR-VD EFI RacePump offers enough pressure and volume to fuel engines from 200 to 2,856 horsepower. And that's with a horsepower-saving 105 Lbs of pushrod force, which is actually 20 Lbs less than the typical low-pressure mechanical pump. The reciprocating-piston EFI RacePump weighs just over a pound and is roughly one-third the size of low-pressure mechanical fuel pumps, which means it's smaller and more lightweight than most high-pressure electric pumps. And the EFI RacePump eliminates the wiring and plumbing hassles associated with electric fuel pump systems, especially on race engines that require multiple electric pumps and heavy batteries that must be recharged every run down the drag strip.

CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and internally hardcoated for bulletproof reliability (matte versions are hardcoated inside and out), the EFI RacePump features gasket-free O-ring mounting flange sealing, stainless steel internal parts and proprietary seals designed for gasoline and methanol applications. The EFI RacePump delivers 204 gallons per hour at an unregulated pressure of 150 PSI at any RPM between idle and 10,000, which makes the pump ideal for turbocharged, nitrous or high-compression engines that won't tolerate fuel starvation. The valveless, variable-displacement, anti-drainback design means the EFI RacePump only pumps as much fuel volume as is needed, so it works great with deadhead regulators equipped with RacePumps' high-pressure regulator spring (included). The EFI RacePump comes with a -10 inlet and -8 outlet installed, a spare -8 inlet, high-pressure regulator spring, 12-point high-grade mounting bolts, and is available gunmetal grey or polished to a show-caliber finish.
