I currently run a Holley Red pump. Works great, however I can not isolate the noise of the pump. Is there a better pump to use? possibily an intank?

Chris_69_SS Jan 29th, 09, 10:03 AM is there a reason you "need" an electric pump? A high output mechanical should be able to do the job.... I ran one on my low 11 second car just fine. FasterBBC Jan 29th, 09, 10:17 AM No I don't need one per say. I initial put it on thinking it was something needed if I ever put nos on the car, which was a misunderstanding on my part. However I do like the "security" of shutting the fuel off and priming the system with the electric. Just he r.r.r.r.r is starting to drive me nuts. What mechanical do you run? javablack Jan 29th, 09, 10:44 AM No I don't need one per say.

What mechanical do you run? the noise bugs me too FasterBBC Jan 29th, 09, 10:58 AM javablack, do you have it mounted on the frame rail too? javablack Jan 29th, 09, 11:08 AM javablack, do you have it mounted on the frame rail too? yep, I cant hear it when the engine is running. the flows drown out the pump noise:D FasterBBC Jan 29th, 09, 11:41 AM hmm can you shoot me a picture of how you have it mounted then. I can hear mine to 30 40 mph with flows too. Maybe I have some room for improvement. SS402 Jan 29th, 09, 2:30 PM throw the vane pump in the junk box and get a 'gerotor' pump, much quieter.. FasterBBC Jan 29th, 09, 2:43 PM do you have a suggestion on brand? 69-CHVL Jan 29th, 09, 3:05 PM How about this one, says its quiet, and internally regulated (no need for a separate regulator): http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?CP=1&part=EDL-1791&N=700%200&Ntt=EDL~1791%20or%20EDL~1792&Ntk=KeywordSearch&rsview=sku&Ns= Racing Jan 29th, 09, 10:02 PM One thought it to increase the rubber mounts attaching the pump to the frame. If the pump is mounted solid to the frame the frame can transfer the sound.

Drove 25 miles to the track. Made a couple of 1/8th mile passes. Pump quit. Took my Holley Blue apart, epoxied the magnets back on, been running a couple of years now. It's music to my ears. LJ | ||
