Anyone use the Fuel Boss from Glacier on a 12v 13mm pump I know on there site the dont offer on for a 12v but I think you could make it work If you reg it after the pump but I dont know If it will put out 65psi constant
 
i would just call rich at glacier he's a pretty knowledgable guy i would think he could point you in the right direction
 
Why run a mechanical pump? It is just drag on the engine. Your putting it right on the crank also. Run an electric with 2 batteries if your worried about the alternator eating HP.
 
Lets just say my truck is in the 800+hp range a little drag on the front of the motor is not going hurt power that much I have ran an electric but would like to try a belt drive just to see how it compairs EEP has a belt drive but its about 2000 bucks little high for my taste

Wether u are 10,000Hp it will still dent your numbers run a electrical pump and save ya some cash. Just a thought .02.

Mechanicals have their place, no question about it. I just don't think under 1000HP is it.
 
What are the advantages?? It doesnt take a bettery to run one? I am just curious.

Your going to get to a certain point where the motor to run the pump is just too big. If you get to the point of needing a pump that requires 1 HP to drive it your gonna be looking at 50-60 amps to run the motor. Probably just as well at that point to go mechanical. I suppose you could dedicate a battery to the pump, and located the battery right by the electric motor.
 
less failure? looks cooler, flow more fuel, saves fuel line cost, raises pressure with rpm may work better than a constant pressure that then gets pulled down?
 
I haven't had failures and if you run a regulator that has a boost/pressure reference, the fuel will come up. I like the electric for safety also. It is hooked into the kill and it shuts down.
 
if i were going to go with a mechanical pump of any sort i think i would go with one thats runs off the cam. at that point you are deleting the belt and have room for it. until you get rid of the belt i see no need to go mechanical.
 
this is also a thought it takes something like 100 hp just to run a simga pump your taking a 100 hp hit to turn a pump that big
 
id have to agree with zstroken aswell u can buy a nice fass that will run 45 psi for like 700 bucks with a regulator or make your own pump with aeromotive parts and pump that will rin between 50 to 60 psi for 1200 wich is plenty of fuel pressure for anything u are building alson it is alot easier to fix a problem when the problem is bolted to a frame rail than fixing a problem when it reguires disasemling the front of your engine

no, we run one on a 13mm motor, i cant remember whats on the front of it, dsr or something like that. check out scheids web site. but like zstoken was saying, if your not going to be over or plan to be over 1000hp in the future its probably not worth it. i think they are like 7-800 bucks just for the pump. they also require a aluminum timing cover as far as i know.
 
I have seen a mechanical pump that was modular, you just keep adding sections on until you get the fuel requirements you need. It was on a mod puller.
 
Cam driven pump, MagnaFlow 600:
