Bought mine through JEGS, i'm sure Sumit would have them as well.

Cost $550 US. Sounds like a lot but you factor in the cost of a normal surge setup with 2 pumps, extra tank, fittings etc, price doesn't look too bad.

Forgot to mention it can also be used on a carb setup, as long as you use a regulator with a return line to the tank.

Thanks mate, I posted too earlyin my excitement - found it on summit. Which hose fittings did you also need? I actually think its good value and looks good quality. I look forward to your updated post.

I had all of the -6 AN fittings and hoses from the old setup. I had to buy 3 x -6 ORB to -6 AD adaptors which screw into the billet top plate. Got them from JEGS as well. Also forgot you need an inline filter between pump and engine.

Here's an update on how the new fuel pump setup is going.

In a word, FANTASTIC, no more surge issues, ran the tank down almost dry and no loss of fuel pressure.

The pump is quiet. The car seems smoother to drive especially at low speed, might have something to do with more consistent fuel pressure.

I would recomend an Aeromotive Phantom Fuel System to anyone who was considering an EFI conversion.

I thought it was illegal in Qld to run the exhaust under the diff?

 

That's what the local exhaust shops are telling me.

No issue as long as clearance to ground is at least 100mm.

It runs to the charcoal canister which is hidden under the front passengers guard. Same setup as standard except everything is hidden.
