5 track days at the firm equals a cjm RRP

You'll need a new assembly or just buy a cjm road race pump.

The RRP replaces the drivers side unit. If you broke the OEM fuel pump hanger you will need something different. Phunk, sounds like there is a need for a new product!

I snapped one of the rods off on mine a couple of years ago. I was able to fix it but I'm not satisfied with it. I thought about buying the twin pump assembly for that side but I don't think it's available anymore.

I am already on it. Perfect opportunity to get a product in here that compliments the existing line. I have a scan done and CNC is already setup right now to cut pump tops while its making a large batch of twin pumps. Im going to use 3-4 of the bricks to make prototype billet top replacements for stock pump module.

I just have to decide if I want to make replacement rods also, or have people cut the stock rods from the plastic top and insert them into the billet top... With that decision made I can wrap up the CAD

Snapped top hat of fuel basket
 
I should have known you were working on something lol. I need to buy fuel stuff from you but the more you keep talking about these future products, the more I want to wait so I can get them.

zguynate 06-09-2016 11:27 AM

If you need someone to test it out let me know. I'll be a Guinea pig.

I have the new S1 & S1-S kits all done, and even got inventory of the new hoses etc. The only reason I havent posted threads for the new kits yet or updated the website is that my filter manufacturer ran dry of the new filters I am using. Once the inventory batch of filters get here, its go time. Ive got a few of the new kits shipped out last week to people that were on my tail about it and didnt want to wait, I had a few of the filters available to take care of them with.

I also installed one locally and got dozens of pictures to put together a real nice installation PDF with.

Depending on how soon those are completed I could toss one in with my RRP. Work hasn't given me a free weekend yet to tackle that install. Being off for Zdayz cost me on the backend...

When and how much?

I will cut rods out.

Elmo370z 06-09-2016 06:22 PM

right when i thought i was done spending

zguynate 06-09-2016 06:27 PM

Well like I said Phunk. I'll be ordering pretty much a whole fuel system for you as soon as you tell me what to buy lol. I'll be happy to throw in a new pump top as well and test it out.

phunk 06-09-2016 08:35 PM

I think we are looking at something in the $150 - 175 range.

It will probably end up being really popular now that I think of it, because my 6-pin connector also accepts 12AWG wiring, and if you really want to cram it, it will take 10AWG.

Considering how brown and toasty all the plastic is around the terminals in the stock hat from running my Aeromotive and then 450 for a few years, the factory terminals through the hat are obviously not beefy enough for these large pumps.

phunk 06-09-2016 08:36 PM

Ill see if I can get a picture posted tomorrow.

Justice97 06-09-2016 09:03 PM

Good price.

Definitely better than a new assembly and the actual pump isn't what is going out.
Question; after looking at the rods upon removal of my pump assembly, how are the rods going to be held in? They are pressed into the plastic and inside the plastic there is a groove to catch the little raised lip on the rod. That may work in plastic, but I don't think that will work too well in the aluminum. Maybe a small 4-40 set screw to cram into the rod or a small slot on one side for snap ring to snap into?

Thanks for the work.
