Wide Open Design LJ buggy build

Gave it all some thought and went with a new PS pump setup. I wasn't 100% convinced I wouldn't have a flow issue with the relocated inlet. Better safe than sorry I figure.
Went with the Detroit Speed TC pump bracket kit and a PSC CBR TC style pump. It is sized perfectly for my setup.
I'll sell my old ones as perfectly functioning spares for somebody and pick up another spare CBR.
Tonight I get to roll the dice with my dog's minivan. I either have a bad TCC solenoid or a bad converter. Fingers crossed I don't waste more free time working on stuff NOT from WOD.

Explain please? As I'm contemplating the exact same thing for the same reasons... resi won't fit under the hood w/o "hole" and still have good (short/straight/down-bubble) supply run

Sure thing, Holmes. On the back of the P pump, there is a round casting that sits really close to the back of the integral reservoir.

The incoming fluid would.have to flow around the reliefs I ground into the pump and then to the pump inlet. Which is near the bottom of the pump.
I just wasn't convinced that I wouldn't have a fluid starvation issue at higher RPMs or when I'm really off camber.
Both of which I typically am when I'm wheeling.
So I made the change to a CBR and the different bracketry. I'm actually installing the new pump this evening so I'll have some really good pictures to show the difference.

Was it the TCC? 🤞
