Summit Racing Fuel Pump Install and Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- In this episode, I install a Summit Racing electric fuel pump in my 1979 Jeep Cherokee. This pump is easy to install and comes with detailed instructions. It feels like it has a decent construction, and looks nice too. Well see how it holds up after a summer of driving and wheeling. Stay tuned for a follow up in the fall! @SummitRacing

The optimal gallons per hour is calculated with the following equation
Optimal GPH = (Max HP x BSFC)/(6lbs/gal)
GPH=gallons per hour
HP=horse power
BSFC= brake specific fuel consumption (typically 0.5 lbs/HP/hour @ wide open throttle)
So, for my application
(175 HP x 0.5 lbs/HP/hour)/(6lbs/gal) = 14.6 gal/hour
This Summit pump flows at 35 gallons per hour, which is more than sufficient for my tired old AMC 360 with the Holley two barrel.

That's a great tip for wiring it up .oil pressure guage love that
Gotta love using an open flame right next to your fuel lines !!! 12:09 😂🤣😂... Great video !!
living on the edge! thanks for watching!
fuck ya ! awesome ! only pussies worry about safety ! Real men make their own RULES!
I loved that you use a lighter to heat shrink the wires after the lil spill of the gas. But thank you for the knowledge bro.
Livin in the edge! Safety third right?
@@DaysofPainandVictory tell me about it I'm paralyzed lmao 😂😂😂

Good tutorial and information, convinces me to have this install done (on my 64 Ranchero, 200 six which is sometimes hard starting) by a professional mechanic, or friends with knowledge and skills like you. I did do a decent job on prep (aka endless sanding) for new paint however!! :D lol
Thank you! Good luck on your project! If you decide to tackle it yourself and have any questions feel free to ask!
instablaster...
Good job man
thanks!
I wish you would have not edited the full startup. That’s such a cool startup view too, inside like that. Starting carbureted engines is becoming a lost art, I’d love to see you start more with that view! Subscribed
Guess I never really thought about that, my first car was carbureted and so it's what I learned on, but now with fuel injection, remote start, etc I guess it doesn't take much thought to start a car haha! With a carb you gotta pump it a little, pull the choke, get it to fire, unchoke it, feather the throttle, etc etc. Thank you for watching, subscribing, and the feedback!
posted a carburetor start up video today!
My issue with this is that pre filter fitting. Man it feels so cheap I’m scared to torque it down with a wrench like you did but I guess I gotta. Haven’t started installing yet
I never had it leak, but the pump did eventually fail. I'm running the factory mechanical pump now. Good luck!
Good video dude
Thank you!
Excellent video ( liked , subscribed )!Why does it have to be (pump) in angle ? ( me and my ignorance)!Please reply, thank you
Thanks! From summit’s website
Summit Racing recommends that you mount the fuel pumps outlet at 30-45 degrees above horizontal to reduce the risk of vapor lock. This mounting technique will allow vapor to pass easily through the pump.

Thank you , so much ,brother 👍
@@torobravo8023 no problem!
God bless you and thank you for the clip. I connected the electric pump with the mechanical pump and connected Riley, but I noticed that the battery was weak, especially at night, although the electric pump only works with the switch. Is there a solution for that? my respect....
not sure I am fully understanding your question, is it not pumping?
@@DaysofPainandVictory it is .. I changed the battery and it is fine.
@@wedding4016 cool so you got it figured out?
Well dang...i have below bare minimum the one on my 81 f150 (I didnt do it previous owner) ran with house wire to the battery the negitive and the positive through the house wire asWell into the coil so as soon as I turn the key shes going with no fuse
haha nice, I had the fuel pump on my 95 jeep ZJ wired on a house switch haha, do what ya gotta do I guess
@@DaysofPainandVictory thinkin about putting a fude in but I do how big of a fuse to do if the pump I have either
Rubber washers between the pump and frame or a flat piece of rubber like a tube folded up for a layer to absorb the vibration through the frame. I don't hear mine.
oh that's a good idea! I can't hear mine over the exhaust though haha
That's what Led Zeppelin and number 11 on the amp setting is for..
I'll be damned, my poor little Chevette is only calling for 5.42 gallons per hour lol, would I need to install a fuel pressure regulator so it's not too much fuel into my little Holley 2bbl?
I ended up needing a regulator for my Holley in the beginning, but then I went with a different needle and seat I no longer needed a regulator. I’ll did through my receipts to figure out what needle and seat I went with
Did the pump shut off on its own
no it runs constantly. I went back to a mechanical pump since this video. this pump lasted a couple years, but didn't drive it a ton
@@DaysofPainandVictory why’d you go to mechanical pump again
@@jagg5474 I lost two micro pumps, this summit pump and a mr. gasket pump, wanted something more reliable
Hi. Is that pump for only cold start to avoid having to crank for a long time?
I assume you need a switch to kick start the pump before cranking the truck ON for easy start right ?
Then as the truck starts you switch off the pump ?
In this situation it was my only pump so it was always running. There are people that use them for a priming pump to their mechanical pump, in that situation you could shut it off after fire up
@@DaysofPainandVictory
Thank you for the reply.
So if I want it just for priming on a cold start and shut off ones the engine is ON , will the gas flow smoothly to the mechanical pump and carb as the pump of off. ?
I have a 75 k5 blazer that I don’t use a lot but when I want to use I have to crank a few times which can kill my battery. To avoid the cranking I add a few drops of fuel on the carb and kicks start like a champ. This only happens when I don’t use the truck for 2 weeks or so. It’s also park my driveway on a small slope hill which makes the gasoline more complicated to reach up the mechanical pump and carb.
Ive got this pump, it runs red hot, you can't even touch it, must be wrong surely. Any ideas, theres no return to my tank.
The instructions don’t mention a return line, although I do have one. Where is your pump located?
August 2024, I've had 2 of these quit on me in only 5 months, one lasted only 20 MINUTES! They are junk! Edlebrock, Summit, Holley, same "micropump" junk. Call em up and the FIRST thing they will say is "remember it's under warranty" Yeah, they know they're junk. If you're the proud owner of one that actually works- don't be, its going to leave you on the side of the road, and not long from now. Holley red/blue vane pumps are big and noisy- and expensive, but they WORK!
@@glenhenning9261 yeah I eventually went back to a mechanical pump
Make sure to use heatshrink splice connectors
🤣🤣🤣
I have a 86 monte carlo and my car has a switch to the fuel pump do I really need it ? Because I don’t want it it’s it a good thing or bad ?
If you don’t want it in it’s own switch, you’ll have to wire it to come on when the ignition is turned on
Also would be a good idea to make sure you have an oil pressure kill switch, just in case you’re ever in an accident the fuel pump will shut off
I have a holley mighty mite which is identical to both pumps and is probably the maker of both those. Anyway I used mine in a 87 GMC 305tbi to carb swap. Mine now registers 5 psi at start up but within a couple minutes it drops to 2 or less on the gauge. That is with the gauge mounted at the AC box near the top. WITH the hood raised and it cold outside or for us a heatwave at 45. It is new. The lines are new the wiring is new as is the relay fuses and the rest to include filters. Also the carb and intake are new as well. EVERYTHING new.
Anyone have an issue of these little pumps going bad quickly? How long did the MR gasket last you? Is this one still working since you uploaded this video?
This pump lasted two years, but only used the jeep wheeling, not a lot of road driving. Now I’m running the mechanical pump
These pumps are all the same - the Edelbrock even is just the same pump with a red plastic "bubble" around it. They're all made by an offshore supplier. For what they are - they're fine - small simple little pumps that tend to work pretty good and don't cost a lot of money. They're magnetic drive, which is pretty cool (if you intend to dead-head it straight into a carb with no return / over-pressure relief line). My Holley has been feeding the onions to my lawn mower (small 10-1/2 horse tractor) for quite some time now.
I'm like the intro
I wonder if they make one that's works with a tbi 350 since it only needs 11 to 13 psi.
Holley website has a chart for specific applications. You might find it there
Standard 50-60psi pump, regulator and a return line. Done.
Would the pump turn off if you got in an accident with the bare minimum wiring?
No you’d have to have it wired to the oil pressure switch
Ok thanks
Did you use any thread sealer with that filter you screwed in?
No, and I have had no issues with leaking. If you choose to use sealant, make sure it is suitable for gasoline such as this stuff from summit (part number 1525607), Do not use teflon, it will break down and clog up your fuel system. Thanks for watching!
WHY
Wait so does yours turn on with the ignition switch or with the toggle???
Both, it won’t turn on without the ignition on, but I can also shut it off independent from the ignition.
I recently replaced an aluminum keg fuel tank in a 75 CJ5 that the PO had installed and "rigged". Well after replacing with an OEM fuel tank my fuel delivery system has been out of sorts! It looked like I was not having enough pressure from the electric Facet posi-flo fuel pump 35 gal/hr. I bought a Holley 35 gal/hr electric pump and still the same thing. Anyhow, my question is what type of problems can cause what seems like no fuel pressure at the carb?
I wonder if the fuel pick up tube in the tank is clogged? or the filter on the pump? Do you have a fuel pressure regulator?
@@DaysofPainandVictory I thought that as well. I checked the pickup tube and all clear. I'm just not getting back so will have time this week to work on it. I went ahead and bought a new filter for the pump and a new fuel filter before carb. We'll see if that works.
Love your channel SMASH DAT like BUTTON
Thank you!!!
This rules thank you
Thanks for watching!
Amigo la bomba es muy ruidosa ???
Why does it should be down of the fuel tank? In my case, I don't have space there, just in the hood side.
Mounting it below the fuel tank creates a siphoning action which helps prolong the life of the pump. I would try to find space if you will be driving it a lot
Do you need a fuel return line?
not sure if you have to, the instructions do not mention a return line. My jeep does have a return line from factory however
Stupid install error dude ... lighter / naked flame to shrink heat shrink .... BOOM!!!!!!
thought about that the whole time, luckily I still have my eyebrows...
Yeah, but he looked cool while doing it and that's all that matters.
How much fuel pump
47 dollars, looks like its out of stock til august though
How does it operate in hot weather does it lock up
Dannymclovin69 I’ve had no issues with the pump locking up, and I’ve wheeled the Jeep in triple digit temps
ASTRO
14:42🔥
EMMANUEL haha thanks! Gotta love the sound of a v-8!
The song ruined the video while installing the pump.
Wikipedia?? Seriously?? I will get my info somewhere else.
Obnoxiuos music, hard to follow schoolwork, noisy pump. . why do so many mechanic vids have to always play fuzz guitar noise?
That pump is for the weak brother can’t even peel a tire with that pump if u got real horsepower 500 and up that pump won’t hold up
i'm running the stock mechanical pump now, this jeep is pretty low on power haha
