if you mean a 08 busa

depending on your tank you can use the standard fuel pump from the busa.

I always advise, use original equipment where ever possible.

i have got that pump off the bike paul will this be powerfull enough to pump the fuel from the tank at the rear of the car to the engine up front?

mines does. GSXR pump gsxr injectors so as already said a balanced working system already tried and tested. you will need to mount the pump in the bottom of the tank mind. Also only needs one feed line as pressure is regulated internally and no need or swirl pots etc.
Someone on here had a craking pic of one mounted in the base of the tank ( can't remember who though)

Use the std GSXR one, they are good for upto 190bhp @ wheel in the bike.

Std pump works great, as does any aftermarket pump, with a pressure regulator off a T somewhere (and it's return to the tank).
I use the next-up from the smallest Zytec one (8mm push-on fittings), no problems.

excellent! (bigrich) what did you use to stop fuel leaking from bolt fittings, as the rubber seal for the pump sit inside the dia, of the fixing bolts. i am worried that fuel will find it way through the bolt threads!

I did the same as bigrich BUT i tapped right through the tank ring befoere welding it in place. I then fitted a dowty seal to each of the bolts and threadlocker to the threads before screwing them home ( heads inside the tank ) the fitted the pump from below using nuts and washers.
