Pm'd

[reecegsi]

If its the one with leds ill take it mate

[vectra640]

[scooby-KILLER]

i have one of these and they are built VERY well and worth every penny!

[vectra640]

They are indeed the MUTS NUTS only selling as I bought another with remote LEDs, slightly more expensive but hey quality costs money

[vectra640]

Still for sale, any takers £20 posted won't take any offers less than this or i'll just keep it

[rickya130]

I'm curious why is it uprated mate?

[scooby-KILLER]

because it runs far colder and will not over heat and fail etc, im sure vinci can/will give an indepth answer to your question!

[rickya130]

Oh ok I'll have it then cuz mine as been getting very hot so i might as well change it just in case it packs in on me, send me your PayPal address and I'll send you the money mate

[vectra640]

Now sold

[Vinci]

Whoa, that was sold quick!

I've got one fitted with remote leds in my own car now as well...

[Cavalier-C20LET]

Any more vinci mate?

[Adam]

dont get what so good about them?

[Vinci]

Any more vinci mate?

I have parts, so if you want one I can make one... Price is the standard £28 shipped then though, this add was about an offer...

dont get what so good about them?

Durability, cool running, low power consumption, check lights, higher current rated contacts, automatic polyfuse installed for ease and safety.... just to name a few advantages

[Cavalier-C20LET]

£28 ill take one mate. om me your address and ill pay now. thanks mate

PM sent...

Iv just fitted this today car runs fine until you give it a little power then the fuel pump turns off and the car cuts out then it not start for about 30 secs??? Does it need to be pluged in for a bit so the ecu can get used to it?

[Vinci]

Hmmm, no, might be your fuel pump is drawing excessive current and the automatic fuse cuts the power. It works on heating up, so takes a couple of seconds to cool down and make contact again....

The fuse is chosen rather 'safe' and there might not be a real problem as I can place a little bit heavier fuse, might be worth checking though how much current it actually draws. There is a chance the mechanism of the pump is somehow blocked or running unsmooth due to wear/contaminations.

Do you have any specification of your pump?

EDIT:
You can feel the little yellow thingy on the relay to check if it is getting hot (careful though!) when this happens.

The fuse I installed has 12A full holding current and 16A full breaking current, so if it breaks it is hardly rendered to be normal current draw and your pump is likely to be screwed....

[Vinci]

Here are some tables that give insight of what current draw to expect at 12V or 13,5V from a Walbro pump:
Auto Performance Engineering - Walbro fuel pumps specs

If you have an uprated pump (255ltr/h for instance) there is a chance the normal current draw of your pump and the pressure you are running exceeds the specs of the fuse. In that case I can uprate the relay you have or make you another one and you sell yours on. In such a case we split shipping cost, you send it to me, I send it back. Work and parts at no charge. I hope that sounds reasonable?

[rickya130]

The pumps about 2 months old mate this is the one Iv got... eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

I did have to run a new cable to my pump because I only had about 9-10 volts at the pump

[rickya130]

Yea that's great mate! I'll send you this one back to work on mate

[rickya130]

Also the relay was hot to touch..

[Vinci]

Alright, I'll PM you the address later on, in a bit of a hurry now... Yes, the relay will get hot if the polyfuse breaks, this has to heat up to break you see....
