Hot Wire Kit Explanation and Car Preparation

make sure it's all good. So, for those of you who don't know what we're doing, basically the obviously the fuel pump is powered by electricity. The wire that feeds it power is too small. So, it's not getting enough power to the pump after the extended length of the feed wire to where it cannot keep up the RPM inside the pump to provide the fuel needed to the engine. So, we're going to show you. I believe the feed wire is this little green one right here. Not very big at all. It probably supply something fine if it was naturally aspirated, but I just completely overlooked that um when building this car 6 years ago. Do you know what we're going to do? Jack it up and start working on it. Yes, that's what we're going to do. Mhm. Do you want to practice your jacking? Yep. You want the point of contact to be in the center of the cup there. So, you're perfect. Now, this is time to explain what we're doing. So, we have that, too. Basically, what's going to happen here is we are going to use the existing wire out of that little fuse box to trigger this thingy to send power from a bigger wire good. I don't really know, but we're just going to have to deal with it. It had whatever was in it and then we put 5 gallons in it before we hit the dyno. So, it's going to be heavier than it was, but it's not going to be terrible. So, with a relay, you have a trigger pull and a feed pull. It's just having a smaller circuit basically flip a switch electronically to have a bigger wire send the power. So, the power is not going to be provided from that little itty bitty wire anymore. The itty bitty wire is just going to tell this thingy to contact internally, which will allow these bigger wires to send the power to the fuel pump instead, which gets more voltage to the pump, helps it spin faster, pump more fuel. That's the gist of what we're doing here. So, if you hear someone talk about a hot wire kit or something, that's what it is.
