Paul, I saw your post in an earlier search, thanks. I wish there were some amplifying information on the manufacturer and specs of the pump. From the 1/4 ports, I'd say I'd have to parallel two pumps for 500+HP. Bill, I've followed your modifications to your fuel tanks. At some point I...

Thanks for the opinions guys. I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that many vane pumps can operate with suction, despite their manufacturer's warning against such, as long as they operate at 100% and, a big and, they are not allowed to draw any air. For many brands, sucking air leads shortly...

Thanks Dr. Bob. There is an Aussie company that offers similar setups, can't recall their name, maybe the same outfit. Certainly an option for the swirl pot/HP pump combo.

Thanks for the Walbro endorsement Dave, looks like a solid enough product. I said I'd get smart on PWM control of fuel pumps and have gotten minimally so. There are a couple of manufacturers familiar to this crowd, Weldon and Aeromotive, that offer controllers and several small outfits that...

Bob, I believe the Facet has 1/4 inch NPT inlets and outlets. The 750hp and up pumps have -an8 or 10. I'm not knowledgeable enough to debate the subject but the Facet web site lists 350hp max. Hate to ignore that and have issues later. Two pumps running parallel would work and provide some...

I talked to the MagnaFuel tech department describing my requirements and asked whether their ProTuner pump would be a good choice to pull fuel from the tanks. He stated 12 inches of pull is comfortable but up to 24 inches is possible with their geared pumps. Their vane pumps are good up to 12...

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. I'm going to contact MagnaFuel about their ProTuner gear pump. It is advertised as self-priming. If they can show some confidence that it can operate reliably with a 12" lift and some horizontal piping with some bends that may be the answer. Their stuff is...

Take a look at the SPF GT40R's cage system, presumably race sanctioned. Looks quite robust but not very user friendly for parking at the mall.

I took one look at the RCR40 when I got it to realize there was nothing but fiberglass and a windshield to block a moose entering the cockpit with you. We have to worry about things like that around here. Ordered a full cage to add some steel up front shortly thereafter. As far as side...

So, should I stick with the plan for the Holley pump or would someone advise another product that has proven reliable? Vane pumps seem problematic for mounting over the top of the fuel tank.

So I was all set to order some pumps for my RCR40 project. My plan is for -an8 to manual tank selector valve, to 100micron filter, to low pressure pump, to swirl pot, to high pressure pump, to 10micron filter, to fuel rails for the Classic Injection System. Return fuel to the tanks via -an6...

FYI: R & T has published, in their August edition, an article by Sam Posey on the doings of Jim Glickenhaus, mostly the P4/5. For those who have written ill of him, the short story may serve as an education. I suspect a significant percentage of us, if we had the do-re-me, would have attempted...

I claim international crapper status, 9 of 10. The last one got me.

If your design analysis tends toward that of electrical perhaps the apex solution would be an electro-mechanical one. The System I was never impressed with the sound of his audio systems but I need to give Dr. Bose credit for genius by thinking outside the box designing unique solutions in a...

Mike, RCR's web site states 16 weeks and, when asked, Fran stated 16 weeks for the kit to ship. With little things like moving their factory location, either they pad the time required to assemble the components or they are fanatical about scheduling. This is my first build so I'm not going...

Hi Rebecca I was in VF-111, VF-124 as an instructor and VF-202 as a reserve poge before they transitioned to FA-18's. All my time was in A models; would have liked to fly the D which was the intended configuration before budget restraints kept the P&W engines aboard. Engine problems alone...

The car will not be giving free advertising to Shell Oil nor will it have roundrels for a number and mini spats on the top/rear of the front wheel wells. For that matter, I don't see a reason to install an anchor point for a parachute on the rear deck. The RCR will duplicate the proportions...

Thanks for the support guys. I've poured over this forum over the years to gain some knowledge as to what is involved with a build. This build will end up looking like P1036 down to the paint scheme but Avon tires to replace the Blue Streaks. I'm talking to Lance at Keith Kraft now about an...

After several years waiting for my ducks to fall in a row, I paid a visit to Fran yesterday to put a deposit down for a Deluxe Plus Mk I GT40 package. As far as I can tell, it will eventually be the only GT40 prowling this side of Wyoming. As timing has it, I caught Fran and company in the...

Alan I have valued your input for many a year on this site and would not want you to blend into the background in the future. Perhaps if one or two were taken to task for violations of forum rules others would think twice before berating their peers in public. We should take the moderators'...
