refresh my memory about fuel pumps

[smug]

I am talking about stock, and racetronix fuel pumps for GTPs. I have a 2001 GTP with the plastic tank and I know they changed something with the pump too. I just cant exactly remember.

With that being said when installing a racetronix fuel pump in a 2001 - 2003 GTP you are suppose to use a 1997 - 2000 fuel pump bucket and 2001 - 2003 top half? Correct?


and go.

2001 you can just run the pump straight in your canister. No venturi on your car so you don't need to worry about that either. It's pretty straight forward.

Thats not what the PRJ site says........

im 99% sure thats how it goes the bucket has the venturi peice in it that you hook up to the port on the pump so you need the pre 2001 bucket, or you can buy a non venturi pump and just put it in there, if you do get the racetronics pump they are 20 bucks cheaper direct from racetronics

I currently have the racetronix pump from prj and I need to take it assembly apart. I need to make sure I get the correct parts for this set up and could not remember what I did when I installed it 6 years ago.

Because PRJ refers to the Racetronix kit which was designed specifically to utilize the venturi which means you need to convert your non-venturi car to a Venturi setup by replacing the canister but the only reason you'd buy a Racetronix kit in the first place is because it used to be the only pump that utilized the venturi properly at all.

You originally bought the Racetronix kit because you had a venturi setup and nobody utilized it properly yet but buying the kit and then adding the hassle of adding the venturi setup seems pretty pointless to me.

So... If you have a 2001 and are running your stock setup right now, you can just purchase the 255lph kit either us or ZZP or Intense (well, I don't know what they sell) sells and plop it right in. No need to convert to the venturi setup. Just accommodate it if it's there. If it's not, skip it and save yourself the $$$$$.

Then disregard everything I said... You're probably running the older canister to swap over to a venturi setup then.
