Thanks Rolloffhill.

 

Right, there are DMAX's that are running PPE's dual cp3's and the MITUSA

Like I said, I will rattle C.A.P's cage, he is one of them with both on his truck....

 

I am sure you noticed that he has not been on in a while. I'll sent him an email for you.

Well I see I am missed .

Yes, the MITUSA is a gear driven vacuum pump. It is as good of a lift pump as you can get . It is adjustable as to the max psi and is easily adjusted with a regulator valve.
It works well with a dual cp3 , as most lift pumps are pusher pumps , pushing fuel through the system . The MITUSA is a vacuum pump sucking fuel through it . It is a belt driven pump that has a bypass so if the belt breaks the system still works. This I can tell you is most lift pumps will hold high idle psi which is not needed as the pushing of the pumps is at a constant voltage, but decline as rpms go up. The MITUSA is a RPM belt driven pump where it goes up as RPMS go up. I have this set up with dual cp3 and have had it with one cp3. The dual mounting system I run is a redesign of the HERTZ bracket and my own plumbing design. It will hold 14 psi at WOT with 26K on the rail and such. Here are a few pics of my mounts and set up. Its 304 Stainless bracket I made with a 4140 Retaining nut to run the second pulley . It is A design I revised from a prototype on a race truck. I have been involved with .

 

So far all the interest has been for VP44 trucks, not that, that won't change as the discussion goes on.

 

Now This Is What This Site Is All About. Chevy and Dodge Comin Together And Makin This Stuff Happen.

 

Belt driven lift pump...

What's the approximate price of these things? I don't see it running out of fuel that easy, nor do I see it that expensive... Don't know where I could find a pump like that.

Although... Makes me wonder what kind of flow rate a junkyard power steering pump would make. I've got the air conditioning mount available, so I could probably fab a second pump down there...

 

I thought about a home fab until I started readin some of these things about the design testing they did. An awfull lot of design mods and these were some of the biggest names in the industry workin on it. I don't know what makes it so hard, but if they had to re-work it that many times I decided I didn't have a prayer. The RASP, was in the $1100 range but this new one is supposed to be less. If I would have just spent the money for the mechanical system before all My changes and upgrades I would have saved money by now. And now I'm still lookin to do it again when this would have been a one time shot.

 

Anybody else get any updates on this info.
