what lift pump do you use ? would a standard series 2 escort turbo pump be ok as a lift pump ?

Id of thought so as its only got to transfer fuel from the tank to the swirl pot then your big pump sends it from swirl pot to fuel rail

i use a 044 to feed my swirl pot, this is the pump harvey gibbs said was needed , i then run 2 x 044s to feed my fuel rail with a return back to the swirl pot.

i dont no what power your running so this is only a guide of what i use.

thanks steven

Holley red top / high flow , low pressure to the s/pot
Then 1 or 2 044,s depending on spec

Red top will be fine.

unless your running big power the std pump is fine for a lift pump, it only has to half fill the swilr pot the other half is kept full by the return line.

Going to be around the 420-450bhp mark on a 2L zetec turbo

Also i'm putting a filter between the main pump and inlet, would it be good to also have a filter after the lift pump ?

im runing one inbetween the eninge pump and swilr pot and one between the fuel tank and swirl pot.
id run a good pump for a lift pump then.

Would the red top one be enough or the erst standard pump ? Or am i looking at a another pump ?

A Holley red top will be fine , I had one of these on a old lifter set up and the engine was producing over 500 hp , before I had the red top I used a std cozy pump to lift
And on the rollers it was leaning off around the 480/490 mark .
The swirl pot does not need high pressure , as the pump to the engine will give you your fuel pressure .
And as said above any over filling of the swirl pot will just go back into the tank
Think auto sell the red tops and there not that pricey new .

Keep in mind that multiple 044's will bring the fuel temps up a lot which is no good at all.

I think he means a Facet Red Top. That's what I'm using on my set up as a lift pump. I know when I worked it out, a single Facet, feeding a 1litre swirl pot, supplying a Bosch 979 was ok for my 300-320 bhp. Not sure if a single Facet will supply over 400 though. You'd have to work it out.

I use 2 Facet Red Tops to feed a swirl pot then onto an 044. This is for 380bhp.

Only if the return is fed into the swirl pot too

I used a holley blue pump with return back to swirlpot with no issues running around 330bhp

Holley pump , not a facet
