ballast resistor
Turbo Mini Forums

just wondering if one of these is needed as i have not seen many wiring diagrams with them on, and if i do need one where could i get one from as i have no idea, for the fuel pump

i also make things

i love coming home to chrome

dont know anyone that is running a resistor to the pump. i never bothered on any of mine.

Same here.

why would you need one for the fuel pump?

that what they have on metro turbos and the era mini, was just curious

they reduced the voltage to it to prolong the life i reckon.

Ballest pumps are needed on injected cars, to help with cold starting. (Using the same principal as ballest coil models).

On a carb car, there is usually enough fuel in the float chamber to start the car, so the demand from the fuel pump isn't needed.

I'm sure the pumps are 12v pumps anyway on the metro. Did all models have a ballest resistor for the pump?

Anyway, I never run a ballest on any of my cars, and so far haven't had a pump moter fail. Jam up with shite, cos I didn't fit a prefilter yes, but never burn out !
