How do you adjust a GZ Motorsport vacuum pump?
You can adjust the vacuum relief set point by screwing the top cap up and down the body. The adjustment is secured by the knurled knob at the bottom of the valve which locks the adjustment in place.
Does a crankcase need vacuum?
As an engine is running, some of the combustion gases will sneak past the rings and create pressure in the crankcase, which is called blow-by. Smart drag racers for years have used vacuum pumps to help gain a few extra horsepower at the track by pumping that buildup of gas pressure back out of the crankcase.
Does engine vacuum increase with RPM?
Engine vacuum should be equal to or higher than vacuum at curb idle. If vacuum decreases at higher rpm, an excessive amount of back pressure is probably present due to a restriction in the exhaust system.
Why does a diesel engine need a vacuum pump?
Because a Diesel engine has no throttle butterfies (honestly) then a vacuum is not created in the inlet manifold in the same way as in a petrol engine. So a vacuum pump is needed to create the vacuum needed for the brake-sevo.
Can a turbo create crankcase pressure?
In some cases, the pressure generated from the turbocharger can find its way into the crankcase if the system has failed. This extra pressure can cause oil leaks. If the pressure is great enough, it can even restrict flow coming from the turbocharger oil return line, thereby shortening the life of the bearings.
What is a good vacuum reading at idle?
about 18 to 22 in.-Hg
Normal manifold vacuum at idle for an engine in good condition is about 18 to 22 in. -Hg.
Why do diesels not have a throttle?
Short answer: Diesels do not need throttle body and throttle plate for its efficient operation. Why? Because Diesel engine is throttled by fuel not air like in a Petrol engine. Give more fuel in a Diesel engine and it turns faster with more torque, give less fuel it slows down.
Why choose GZ Motorsports vacuum pumps?

What makes the GZ Pro pump different?
An all new die casting, only available from GZ Motorsports, forms the core of the new pump with much closer tolerances than previous models enhancing it’s air flow potential. Closer tolerances in the new die casting allow the Pro Pump to generate 26% more air flow than similar sized competitors pumps!
