2.6 Electric Pump Install #984562 02/08/10 12:18 AM

So I finally got around to installing an electric pump. Took a while to decide which one to use and find a day that would be halfway warm. Here it is:

The pump is a Carter GP60504 and a Summit brand pump relay kit. I also used 10ft of convoluted tubing, some zip ties, about 3ft of fuel line, about 6ft of extra wire (relay kit not long enough) and the connectors/hardware that came with the kit and the pump. Took about 5 hours in 40* weather and it was well worth it.

I wouldn't consider the mounting location perfect, but for a long pump with filter it was probably the best spot. I'll probably end up jb welding the bracket because that underbody metal is fairly thin. The bolt that came with the pump didn't have much to bite into, but after some test potholes I am confident it is secure enough.

I need to get another screw in the breaker, but there is room behind that spot for screws. I was using the wrong kind of screws and just got lucky that the first one went in. Messed up the threads on the other one trying to force it to be a sheetmetal screw <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

There are 3 wires from the Mikuni harness that are full voltage ignition. There is another one that is something like 5v ignition. I used one of the others for the electric choke and the pinkish one for the relay, works great.

The Weber likes this pump way better than the mechanical. It runs smooth and doesn't react to slight inclines on the highway near as bad.

thx for posting, my pump should be here mid week. I went with the Carter P4070. Do you have any more pics of the full engine bay? where did you mount the fuel pump? I can't tell from the pic:)

Nice, how does she run? Also, you have some corrosion control issues on your battery hold down <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

It is mounted to the body just above the rear axle. I was going to get the 4070 as you are, but I was somewhat confused about the 4-6psi rating on it compared to just 4psi on the other Carter pump. Judging by the different size/shape of the 4070, you could probably mount it on the actual frame rail which would be a better spot. The body metal is a bit thin although it looks to be sufficient.

I'll get a few more pics in the next day or so depending on weather.

I don't know if your pump comes with a filter, but it definitely needs one between the tank and pump. The instructions with mine stated the warranty would be void if there was no filter installed.

I forgot to mention I basically followed the fuel lines back to the tank to route the power wire.

lol, I think the battery has been fighting that hold down for some time and might just be winning <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Does anyone know if a Mistu Eclipse pump blockoff plate would work on these? I thought maybe another 4cyl Mitsu that has kits available would be the same dimensions and whatnot. Wouldn't be too big a deal to trace a pump gasket and cut one, but it wouldn't look as nice as the billet pieces more popular motors have.

The Starion has a blockoff plate that you can use.

I cut a 1\8th piece of aluminum out and was going to use that. Do you guys think that is enough? I'm going to search for the starion plate now. not sure why i didn't think of that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
