Help Wiring Inline Fuel Pump
I've got a Walbro inline pump to go with a Stroker I'm having built but I have little idea how to install it. My biggest concern is wiring it.
I plan to place the pump behind the driver side passenger seat on the incline but I have been told a couple of different ways to wire power to it. I was hoping to splice a similar guage wire to the gray wire running to the stock intank pump. Apparently it's (the grey wire) is located in one of the wiring connectors emerging from behind the driver side passenger seat near where I plan to install the pump. This way I can power both pumps the same way.
However I was told that this is not the right way to do the job. Instead I have to run power from the battery directly with a switch and breakers which I have no idea how to do. I tried finding instructions for a NOS application but couldn't turn them up.
Will splicing into the grey stock pump wire work or do I have to go the other route? If splicing won't work can the reason why be explained? Is not enough current? To small a wire? DO I have to run the inline pump at more than 12V?
I'm looking at pushing around 360-370 RWHP if that helps.

Maybe I already covered this if you asked the question on another board, or by e-mail, but there is an excellent diagram in the manual for the NOS-5176 kit. Find someone with a copy who can fax it..... I can't. Or look in the Joe Pettitt "Nitrous Oxide" book.... ISBN 1-884089-22-4. He shows how to install the NOS inline pump.
You can't just hook the inline pump up directly to the grey wire that supplies the stock intank pump. The two pumps together will draw so many amps that you will run into voltage drop problems, and nothing will kill fuel pump performance faster than low voltage.
And you need the relay so that a wire connected to the gray stock pump wire will provide the small amp signal required to "switch" the relay, and turn on the inline pump.
Run a wire (probably 10ga) from the +12V connection in the red plastic box near the battery, to the 30amp relay in the hatch area. That wire should have a 20amp fuse inline. Then you will need to connect the appropriate terminals of the 30amp relay to ground, the grey stock pump wire, and the + terminal of the pump. And then ground the - terminal of the pump.
There is also an outfit that sells kits to do this, and uses really healthy wire harnesses to insure the perfromance of the pumps... maybe someone can post the link.
I think you would have better luck with the question on the N2O Tech board.

here is the absolute best thing I have found so far

A nice plug and play kit that fixes the issues you are concerned about. the page shows the pump and Wiring harness. Harness can be purchased seperately.
THIS is the way I plan on going when I upgrade to my 383.
Good luck!
