More fuel woes.... the other day, I fried my in-line pump fuel relay, so I went to get a new relay, but forgot how the wires went, so decided to do a temporary fix by hard-wiring it to a switch that I mounted inside the car. Well yeah, that's all dandy and all, but going to work on Saturday, my dumbass forgot to turn it off. The pump runs for ~2 hrs and finally the insulation melts off the wiring, and then through some of my car alarm wires. So the alarm starts going off and a friend that I work with (who's also very-much into Hondas) heard an alarm and its mine and the car is smoking (from the insulation burning). The pump finally drained the battery (fire-free, thank god), so I jump the car, get it going, but its having a hard time having fuel flow through that pump, and I might have burned the pump out. So the car is chillen until I can fix it tomorrow.

It sounds like you'd better put in some real pump wires when you replace them. Wires should NEVER get hot enough to do that under normal conditions - and fuses are installed to protect wiring under abnormal conditions like a stalled pump. You were probably dropping so much voltage with your old wires that your pump wasn't performing well anyway. I have rewired my car's with AWG10 (that's 10 Gauge wire), and I have a stock OEM Bosch pump. You need to put in the same gauge wiring yourself, and make sure it is fused, not straight off the battery. Good luck, sounds like you have plenty of it still ;)

i still think you sould just do it the right way and take all that stock shit out, run the sx pump and stainless lines.
I've still got all the an fittings pretty much, that's the expensive part too.
but you know, whatever....

ALWAYS put a fuse as close to the battery as possible when you add ANY wiring... You have no idea how many "near" fires I have seen working car audio...

Yeah, hence all the hammers. Yeah Shane, I'll take that pump from you if you don't need it. I'm going to try to fix the car tomorrow, we'll see how that goes.

Yeah, i saw him run the 12.2, it was pretty sick....your car is twice as cool though cause you could run a 12.2 with your setup right now easy and you dont have giggle juice.
