help with external fuel pump

[gtrjon]

Hey guys. so i am installing my fuel system which is comprised of a swirl pot, a aeromotive a1000 fuel pump, aeromotive inline filter, and all ss braided lines with earls fittings, aeromotive a1000 fpr, tomei rail, and precision 1000cc injectors. so when i went to work on it yesterday i ran into a few problems. im trying to decide where to draw my power for the aeromotive pump, i need constant 12v in the trunk somewhere.... i also want to run my fuel lines under the car but i am unsure where to feed the fuel lines from the trunk to under the chasis. any ideas or pointers?

Draw power straight from the battery, fuel lines run with the existing lines

i can draw power straight from the battery but thats alot of wire. just seems a bit unnecessary. as far as running the lines along the existing fuel lines the braided lines are too big to fit under where the fuel hat is to run along the existing lines.

It is a lot of wire but it really is the best way to do it. I'm sure there are other options, but I can't say I'd recommend anything but straight to the battery.

I second, strait from the batterie.

It's quite simple, I already rewired the fuel pump on a 240sx hatch, because of contaminated wires.
Took me about 30 min, taking my sweet time. Used a spare relay (always good to have), some
wire from a roll of 12 gauges wires I had around, 2 wire to wire connectors, 2 round connectors with
hole in the middle for ground and power, and four female connectors for the relay. Even installed the
relay in the fuses box in a empty space.

Might be a good time to relocate the battery to the trunk.

alright ill run straight to the battery. is a relay really mandatory lol sorry im not an electric guy. also any ideas on where to run the fuel lines?

The 12 or 10 gauge wire you'd need will weight what, a pound? That's not so much wire really. As for a bit unnecessary, we both have mods that most would say the same about It's not so bad bro haha

As for the fuel lines, they'll fit under there. I have 2 -10s and 2 -8s under there, just a bit tight but you don't have a choice...

[gtrjon]

alright ill take another look at it tom! ill make em fit if i have to lol. any idea on what size relay i should run with some 12 gauge wire? i plan on installing a switch after the relay as well just for a added saftey precaution

[gtrjon]

wait why would you have 4 lines running under there?

use the holders for the HICAS lines (assuming u don't have em now)

duhhh
