Hi all,

 

Im rebuilding my 998 to hopefully be some what of a small bore missile and have read back to a issue of the mini mag detailing the know how on types of electric pumps but I still fall short in knowing the best option.

 

Spec is as follows

 

998+80

Head - Ported and polished with 1098 valves fitted 1.3:1 roller rockers

Keith Calvers RE13OT cam (somewhere around the 266 profile I believe)

HIF38 for now, possibility in the long term of twin HS2s

 

keeping the standard ratio box and diff for now.

 

​I get the difference between interrupter and solid state for the facet pumps but which one will work best is my issue.

 

Cheers for any help.

 

Nate

Personally a filter king filter/pressure regulator up front and any pump in the rear.

Sorry should of been a little more specific.

 

Facet rate their pumps in siver/gold etc, its that im struggling with. Also to add I understand the filter requirement and regulator bit too.

This pump would be suitable for what you need.

Cheers for that. Is the user name anything relation to giltbrook surf blue by any chance?

That pump still really needs a regulator. The SU carb does not really like more than 3 psi.

No.

 

I used to own a 1963 Surf Blue Austin Mini.

This is true, or at the very least buy the pump from a Mini specialist or specify you want a 3psi version for an SU. If you buy a regulator it'll need setting, you'd also be better off with a pump at a higher pressure so it will always be reduced by the regulator's pressure setting.
