Fuel System Wiring

[CruiseLiner]

hey guys im after info on how much amps would each of my fuel pumps draw, i got 2 044 external pumps and 1 intank 040.

im wiring them up and wondering what gauge wire to use from the battery to the single relay im going to run?

is a 60 amp relay big enough for the 3 pumps?

what wiring would be big enough to run from the one relay to the 3 seperate pumps?

any info appreciated regarding fuel pump wiring for my setup

thanks

Man thats a lot of pumps!

Twin 044's is enough for lots of power how much are you going to make?

And i would say you are better off with a 30 amp relay for each pump and the bigger the cable the better or the closer your battery is the better too. But minimum of 6mm2 cable or larger if possible.

single 044 is good for 400rwkw, you must be going for massive power?

if it helps the bosch ratings are

044 - 15.5Amps cont max current

040 - 11.0Amps cont max current

should be able to work your relay and fuse ratings from there.

cheers guys for the info, the rb26 engines not stock, the only stock part on the entire engine is the valves, head casting and plenum...
