Lift pump question

[matty169]

Anyone use a 12v mechanical lift pump on a 24v? Good, bad or what. Regulator is required I suppose. Thanks and I know you need a cam with the lobe.

it would produce to much pressure it would probably have to be regulated ,most people that do that much work to pull out the cam (p-pump it)

pm this guy he has done it (FireMed). dropped in a helix 2 (for the lobe) and installed the cam. i would have thought that it would have been to much pressure too but he runs the fire out of it.

Id just get a Mechanical Mitusa from Opie if all your looking for is a mechanical LP....just givin a idea!! It is driven by a belt off the crank!!

You could use a piston lift pump designed for a VE application; they only put out ~15 PSI.

However, the second gen piston lift pumps do flow more as well as produce a higher pressure, so if you're going through that much effort you ought as well go all the way and regulate one down.

I am looking to run a mech lift pump had the cam and sold it because I want to get a different cam any cam with a lift pump lobe will work not just the helix as far as a regulator you can get one from vulcan perfromance. there is a couple of other guys on here that have run one. you can call tim barber at TRE performance he ran one on with out a regulator maybe he can help with some question that you have.

You might have to re-locate the computer on block it might interfere with the 12v lift pump.

12v QSBs (offroad vp44 on a 12v) had a mechanical lift pump like the VE powered cummins
