FPA-008A Fuel Pump Assembly

The FPA-008A incorporates our new RXP Turbine-Tech fuel pump which supplies 225LPH of fuel @ 58.0PSI @ 13.5V*. Racetronix RXP pumps use new turbine technology to reduce pump noise, improve reliability and provide enhanced compatibility with Ethanol enhanced fuels. The FPA-008A pump and FPWK-027 harness are required for factory HP upgrades to 600HP @ 58PSI using the factory lines and fuel pressure regulator. HP support may vary based on motor B.S.F.C. and maximum fuel pressure (i.e. F/I motors). Please factor in a 20-25% safety margin between what your motor needs and what your fuel system can supply.

* Our FPWK-027 wiring harness kit is required for for a HP pump to meet stated performance specifications because the factory wiring was not designed to handle high-performance pumps which draw more than twice the power of a factory pump. A performance reduction of 15-25% in pump performance can be expected along with reduced reliability when a HP pump is run off of the factory harness.

The FPA-008A incorporates a high-performance 255LPH pump but since this pump is run at a base pressure of 58PSI (vs. 43.5PSI) its flow rating drops to a nominal 225LPH @ 13.5V. This is the same scenario will all 255LPH pumps and has been a constant source of confusion on car forums due to misinformation being posted.

Please contact your local Racetronix dealer to discuss your fuel requirements.

What sets the Racetronix FPA-008 pump assembly apart from others?

A factory-style fuel tube is clamped to the pump's outlet for added reliability under high operating pressures. When the fuel module is placed back in the tank it must compressed causing the tube to bend sharply which can cause standard rubber hose to kink and fail. The fuel tube is highly resistant to the additives in today's pump gas which will attack and dry out even the best R9 and R10 rubber fuel lines. This is why G.M. uses them as OE equipment.

The Racetronix in-tank pump wiring harness eliminates the need for a wiring adapter or splicing which can be unreliable and can cause performance loss. One end the Racetronix in-tank harness has a Walbro connector that plugs directly into the pump and the other end has a Delphi connector which plugs directly into the sender. Teflon wire is used just like in the factory because it is the most resistant to gasoline and its additives. We upgrade the gauge of wire used from the factory to reduce voltage loss which maximizes pump performance. All Racetronix harnesses are assembled using our computerized crimp-quality monitoring system and then circuit checked for the utmost in reliability. A truly plug & play wiring solution.


WARNING:
Some copy-cat pump kits use fuel resistant plastic wire which is not as durable as Teflon. As well they do not have a new connector installed on the end of the in-tank harness which forces the customer to re-use the questionable old factory connector body. This has also let to some confusion as to the proper polarity forcing some people to remove their tanks again in order to fix the problem!
