[urq] Better fuel pump needed

[Brandon Rogers]

I have a plain old stock urq fuel pump with my urq with somewhat RS2'd
3B pushing 22+ psi - fuel is not an issue - so it shouldn't be for you
either.  Make sure you are getting good voltage to the pump.  Stock urq
pumps were about $190 last I heard....

Turns out one of the problems I've had with my Megasuirt EFI
installation and tuning has been a crappy fuel pump.  It limits flow and
the engine was running crappy at 5k and now
is cutting out at lower RPM and even idle too - buzzing is very load.
Now this is the
third or fourth pump I've installed in this car.  The first pump was
totally seized from setting when I got the car about 5 years ago.  I
purged the lines and flushed the tank and installed a pre-filter.  I
installed an 87.5 Coupe GT/Model 90 pump - higher flow and pressure.
The first one was defective out of the box.  The second one is now
acting up.  Tank was just flushed and I routinely replace the
pre-filters even though they look clean, so I don't think any garbage is
getting into the pump.  

So I am looking for recommendations for the best pump to use since I no
longer have CIS. I would be nice to have the output fitting mate with
the stock fitting, but mainly I want a reliable high output and pressure
pump.  The inlet is already using a larger hose.  I'm tired of doing
jobs 2 and 3 times, so this time I won't try to skimp on cost, although
the ones I've been putting in a Bosch Replacements.

Recommendations?

Ben
