SU Petrol Pump

[100BUR]

Is the SU petrol pump suitable for a tuned 1293 engine? (Stage 2)
What is a good alternative?

Is the rear subframe still a good place to mount the pump?

I was wondering about relocating to the boot , but considering my car will be used mainly in the summer months the pump should not be exposed to the environment for any degree of time ....

Thanks

Should be fine if its rebuilt but otherwise a 'facet' solid state type pump is a good alternative. They need isolating to 'shut them up' though as they buzz all the time when working.

A standard SU was fine dealing with 1330/100 hPa

If you use an alternative pump make sure it's a low pressure type but the SU will do the job. Unless your boot is sealed from the interior I'd leave the pump where it is

Where originality is not an issue I always swap the original SU for a facet pump. Mount it on big rubber buffers where the SU one came from & all will be fine for years.
