I'm asking what the stock air pump CFM. Not vette pump work or not. Everyone here know that work. What's the CFM on the vette pump? The one I found is electric TOO.

Ahh, you're thinking what I'm thinking hehe. Need to find a pump solution for my Apexi single (not the 2002 model), and electric is what I'm thinking too.

Though I want to see if I can pass emmissions by bypassing the ACV voodoo and just pump air directly into the cat. The ACV is off already, and I do not want to put it back on...

Um.. where do I start....

Firstly those are both probably BS!
No electric 12 pump will do 300psi! If you find one.. tell a honda owner. there will be one in every car..
And 15cfm @ 300psi would be INCREDIBLE!
I say the stock airpump does 10cfm @ 10PSI MAX! It doesnt need more..

i would check those stats because 300psi doesnt sound right... maybe 30psi but thats still high!

C5 specs are 14cfm @ 10psi from what ive seen on the web..

you can do that.. just hook it up to a switch to trigger it!

Taking a look in the manual (page F-121), the airpump should provide greater then .7psi to be within spec. I guess with a 300psi pump would cover that hehe.

Want2race: I was just going have the stock airpump relay trigger another relay to turn the pump on hehe. I plan on having it operational similar to how it is stock - minus the ACV.

I need to look in it more. But that thing was suppose for some air cylinders. Not sure what's the power input.
