Which bike pumps are 'best' for car use?
Which bike in tank fuel injection pumps are suitable for use rear mounted in a car?
Maybe that they are all pretty much alike, just wondering about the increased pipe runs, are any suceptible to problems here?
Using GSXR750 injectors on a Zetec, so thinking about the GSXR750 / 1000 pumps, which seem pretty expensive, so any cheaper.. sorry Locost
alternatives?
Cheers.
Pete.

I think you will find most of the bike fuel injection pumps are tank mounted,is it for the MG?
The zx10r fuel pump is a good option if your fabricating a new tank,it runs at around 43psi,has a built in fuel pressure regulator so you only need to
run 1 feed line and no return.
But if you can't mount it like that and are replacing the old MG pump with a injection one,then you might have to buy a universal injection
pump,there's a few different types on ebay,then run a return through a fuel pressure regulator.

Cheers Paul, the plan is to use the existing pump to fill a swirl pot, controlled by a float valve from a carb, so the pot isn't pressurised.
Then the injection pump in the bottom of the pot, if the bike pump has a built uin regulator, then I'll need a return from the pot to the tank,
right?

Sounds a bit complicated to me Pete,can't you just run a feed line from your tank,through universal inline injection pump,to a fuel pressure
regulator fitted in the engine bay,then a return line back to the tank.

That was the original plan, but reading reports of fuel starvation on cornering with a tank with no well, so am looking at swirl pot solutions to stop
that. It'll only be a road car so maybe the simple solution is best.

I don't think you will have a problem with normal road use,and if you do a track day,just keep your tank topped up

Cheers, was sort of hoping someone would confirm that, its back to plan A then.
I've an old cavalier mounting plate and bobbins which would make a neat job.
