Fuel pump questions? Options

[dvid3k]

I'm replacing a bad low pressure fuel pump on my 914 with dual webers, I've got two questions, first, would it be best to get a pump rated 1.5-4 psi or one that is 4-7 psi? My car has dual regulators so i can adjust the pressure down if needed. Secondly, the pump is mounted beside the battery, would it be better to relocate up where the fuel tank is? Thank you!

I recommend a Pierberg rotary pump. I've sold a ton of 'em. Long lasting, quiet, reliable, and the correct pressure for your Webers. Claude's Buggies sells 'em, and GPR can get one for you pretty quickly. I always mount them in the rubber insulated clamp that comes in the box, but you can also add a rubber mount, the type with a stud on each end. Mount it low. I put 'em low on the firewall under the car, near the stock pump location. If you have the stock nylon fuel lines, you'll need the Porsche original step down fuel hose, as well.

Thanks so much for the suggestions, I'll definitely be switching out the pump location. I'm starting to wonder how the car ran from the start, I'm not sure what sort of timeline the dual webers were installed, as well as the new engine, according to the paperwork and the odometer reading the car has never been on the road with the new engine. It had 22,529 in 2005, the engine was put in around 2007 and the current odometer reading is 22,535.

I'm needing a some sort of resource to get things put together properly:

The current setup was fuel pump beside the battery powered by the coil, line out of the fuel pump into a "T" that split off to the carbs with a regulator in line for each carb. The regulators were set to 1 PSI and installed backwards, I'm guessing that doesn't seem too correct. Could I eliminate one of the regulators and run one in the line before it splits off to the carbs? Also, once I relocate the pump up front, and run a wire to power it from the fuse panel, Is there a fuse that would be best for handling the extra load of the fuel pump.



I've got the instructions from the carburetor kit but it wasn't too helpful, would there be an online resource somewhere that would have some weber setup diagrams for 914s? I'm working on getting all the rubber lines swapped out today and I'd like to get the hoses routed the best way before putting it all back together. I can't wait to get this car back on the roads.
