LPH and pressure of a GSL-SE fuel pump?

Just asking because i'm a cheap *** and stuck my old GSL-SE fuel pump inline on my daily beater and wired it to the CD player. Seems to be running okay, just making sure it can provide enough fuel and pressure to not run my engine lean.

350-500kpa @ 1,700cc/minute. For the metrically challenged that's 50-72psi @ 27lbs per hour. Why don't you hook it up right...

Wait a minute that sounds familiar!! Oh yeah, thats how the pump was wired in the 7 I got from you. It was on a toggle switch, because it was wired into a constant power source. So in order to listen to the radio you had to run the pump. *smacks forehead* I had to re-wire the stereo and the pump to hook it up correctly. What a waste.... I thought you said you didnt do that?

You need a wiring lesson? look at the setup I did on the Hondas fog lights.... I even fused the line, I am assuming you hoped the CD players fuse would work? For the amount of trouble you would go through to do this hack job, you might as well do it right.

besides advertising yourself to be a dumbass with that tasteless cartoon sig, you have now offered further proof... wire your **** up right, it will save you time in the long run.

I didn't do the wiring in the car i sold you, but i decided to use the toggle switch from the fog lights for the fuel pump insted. I got the idea from that car, haha.

I bought a new fuel pump and found my problem to actually be something in the wiring to my pump, after replacing the filter, buying a new pump, a cap, rotor, and distributer to track the problem, i decided to go with something i knew would work insted of wasting more money diagnosing.

Could've saved my money though if i just checked for spark, i thought sure that was it when i was shooting 5ft flames from my exhaust, figured it was weak spark and getting way too much fuel in the exhaust. Accidentally shorted my ignitor replacing the cap and rotor, gave up, rigged something to work after buying a Dist. and new fuel pump.

Like i care about saving time, i enjoy working on my car, time is nothing to me, what is something is money.





Side note, what's the thing that clamps onto the banjo fitting with the screw in the top? I just removed it to save alot of room.

Edit: I calculated what you said to 102lph, stock pump is 79, seems i'm good, thanks.
