Facet pump reiability

[Tony H]

 Hi.

I was wondering what the reiability of the facet pump is like when used as scavenge from low mounted turbo? I know they are a popular solution but if working directly off the turbo is there a limit to how long they last? Pic is one on my motor but hasn't seen any real use yet.

Cheers

had one on mary for two years doing 400 miles a week, no problems.

Mine has lasted four years with no trouble, only changed it because we built a new turbo kit,so had new fuel and scavenge pumps as well.

Great

Were your pumps conected directly or via a small tank/resevoir?

Same here, Facet pump works great and has served me well on lots of trips. Bought two at the time, never needed the spare so far. Fitted directly under the turbo without tank.

Same here. Mines been on for 4 years now. Even has been melted where it came loose and moved over onto tge exhaust

Mine's has been running for 2 years now. I guess the pipework is overkill, but i've had no leaks since fitted those, and it looks good

Hi,

Could someone tell me what facet model is that pump?

Used to use electric gear pump, but size and power consumption isnt really useful.

No wondering between new headers or this facet pump, if it really is so reliable as peoples here tells.

And forgive me my bad english.

Facet fuel pumps can be noisy but you wont hear the scavenger pump over the engine/exhaust noise

Lol your probably right

[clivegto]

You only hear it with engine off on start up when letting it clear the oil before start up.

I want a mechanical scavenge pump but I am having trouble finding one that requires very little modification. I can build one but Im being lazy and looking for an easy solution.

I might go this route because of cost and availability.
