71457, HRC fuel pump?
Posted by flamineclipse, May-23-04 01:32 PM
I know I've got to be annoying the hell out of you guys, but I'm almost done. I finished installing my fuel system today but I ran into a few problems. HRC sent me the wrong bracket to mount my fuel pump with, so I had to bastardize it somewhat. It wouldn't mount up the way the instructions said so I cut it up to fit. The book showed the plate down and the pump up, I couldn't get it to work this way so mine faces down. I don't see what it could hurt. Here's a pic of it. http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=34857&password=0&sort=2&cat=500&page=1

Do you think this will be a problem?








Oh, you don't like altezza's? Too bad, your gonna get a good look at mine.

That's what I did too. I could fit the fp so I said fuck it and flip it like you did. Make sure thought that the fuel lines aren't "kinked."

Hahn is pretty ambigious with how it all mounts up there. I think if you read between the lines in the instructions you find "just get it to fit, genius" printed all over the place. :)

Exactly. Same here. I didnt even get the bracket with mine so we had to fabricate one, and we mounted it the same way you did. I was worried for a while, and it seems to make it louder since it isnt shielded with rubber or anything but it works fine. Also I was real worried the 1st time i went through an automated car wash, but its held up fine. Just peek under there every now and then to make sure its still holding up fine.

Wow I thought I was the only one :)

I remember TRYING to do my best to make it fit like what the directions showed but couldn't.

"I was worried for a while, and it seems to make it louder since it isnt shielded with rubber or anything but it works fine. "

I was thinking about putting some rubber bushings between the bracket and frame to dampen the noise.

You can also reduce the noise if you get a high flow fuel pump (walbro or hrc hi-flow pump). That works alot! If you're on a stock fuel pump, then you'll get the infamous rape pig noise.
