My dual stock fuel pump setup
Here's some pics of my dual pump setup using twin stock FD pumps. I used 10G wire and bypassed the stock connector by drilling holes and using grommets, then used 2 heavy copper ground straps to link the elect posts on the 2 pumps.I already have a direct wire from the battery using a relay triggered from the stock FP wiring.
For the fuel part of it I cut the stock metal tube and slid high pressure 5/16" hose several inches over the tube and clamped it good with multiple hose clamps. I used a heavy duty Y splitter made from some sort of composite plastic that's fuel safe. Then ran the lines to the two pumps. Used large hose clamps to clamp the pumps together to the bracket. The pics were taken before I centered the pumps on the bracket so they would fit inside the tank, as well as before I coated and wrapped the hoses with fuel safe sealant. I also used sealant at the grommets. Overall cost was about $45 for the pump, extra sock, and sealant, already had the wires.

Both the supera and rx7 pumps are made by nippondenso and are reliable and quiet pumps. Should hold up well. Two stock pumps are supposed to flow enough for 600+ hp in this type of configuration. Actually one rewired stock pump will flow a lot more then people give them credit for. I could probably get even more out of the setup if i ran one per rail, but don't want to go to the trouble if it's not needed. I plan on increasing my base pressure enough for my 550/1680's to support enough for 23 or so psi with my t70. Should be over 500 hp. Maybe around 550. Will have to see. Need a new clutch for those levels.

Thanks. No i can't say that i did see his setup. Unless his was one with the AN lines, i think i remember seeing one like that that was dual pump. Can't remember if it was with stock pumps though. Personally i think its an economical way to get a lot of fuel. I have a fuel pressure guage mounted in cabin to keep an eye on everything too.

He'll probably chime in but here are some y-fittings. 5/16 = -5an

I can't imagine a local Autozone or PepBoys wouldn't have one. /shrug

I believe the stock lines are close to a 5/16 or 3/8 will suffice as well I assume?
Thanks for the help
@Chudsoncoupe
I don't believe 3/16 will work. 5/16 or 3/8 would be desired, though I'm double checking

Also, I remember seeing a write up that showed a fuel proof terminal that allowed one to avoid using grommets and fuel safe sealant for running 10 gauge wire through the cover and into the pumps. But I cannot find these online.
In the pic below, grommets and sealant were used to get the new wires to the pump. Does anyone know where to find the terminals that make it so you don't have to do this? I remember them being like a speaker connector, you'd drill a hole in the fuel cover, slide it through, put a nut on the bottom and tighten it down (now no leaking through the cover), a threaded post would be sticking out the top of the cover with a horizontal hole for the wire. Slide the wire through the post, tighten down a nut on it and its all connected, no grommet or sealant needed.

Brass is fine. Upgrade the wiring to the pumps if you can. Upgrading the wires to the cover and then leaving the stock, hair thin, wires from the cover to the pump makes no sense to me. Take a look at my website: www.reganrotaryracing.com use the drop down menu to find the fuel pump page.

Crispy, no offense, your website needs some tlc text is incredibly difficult to read when its on a background like that AND center aligned.
also, other ways to improve:
- condense the pull down menu.
- alphabetize it.
- make each of them links with sections and titles and do away with the pulldown altogether.
- change text font to Verdana or Arial and break up lines a little more.
tho it has not stopped me from spending gobs of time browsing while at work
excellent info as well, so dont let my web dev antics throw ya

I actually went through a huge reconstruction when I moved the site a couple of years ago....and it took me two weeks. I actually have 6 more pages under construction that I've been trying to get done for the last 6 months! I don't have the time.
I have been meaning to at least alphabetize the drop down. As for your third suggestion, it's already there if you use the sections listed on the left side of the front page.
Here's an idea....wanna help with a rewrite?
