Manufactured from 6061-T6/651 aluminum, hard anodized and Teflon coated this pump is designed to be light, reliable and efficient. Our Mountain Motor Pump will out flow and produce higher peak vacuum than any racing vacuum pump with a comparable chamber size. Our intake and exhaust positions and internal porting are key to this pumps efficiency. The intake and exhaust ports are placed tangent to the rotor and are (internally) configured differently. Our unique one piece aluminum shaft/rotor is proven to be lighter and more reliable than 2 piece (steel/aluminum) designs which are prone to fastener failure and key/keyway wear. The rotor bearings are mounted outside the pump chamber with an additional seal on each bearing. The addition of this seal is required to increase vacuum potential and eliminate the grease in the bearings from being "sucked" into the pump. The pump housing , rotor and end cap have been hard anodized to eliminate wear then Teflon coated to reduce friction. Our intake/exhaust plate can be configured for -12 AN, 3/4" or 1" dia. slip on fittings. In addition our regulator is mounted to this plate, eliminating the need to place (cut/weld) a regulator receptacle (bung) somewhere else on the engine. There are two major benefits to mounting our vacuum regulator directly to your pump. First, when the regulator set point is reached, ambient air is drawn directly into the pump helping it run cooler. And the other, by placing the regulator "outside" the crankcase area, the excess air the regulator is bypassing will no longer be passing thru the engine to the pump. It now flows directly into the pump, reducing the possibility of oil being scavenged from the engine.

Star Sportsman Vacuum Pump
Manufactured from 6061-T6/651 aluminum, hard anodized then Teflon coated this vacuum pump is every bit as reliable as our "high end" pumps. This pump was specifically designed for the bracket and ".90" racer looking for a low cost pump that will produce between 10 & 15 in. Hg. of vacuum and do it year after year. To keep the cost down we have completely reshaped the housing to reduce our machining costs which has created a very "clean" look. Our unique one piece shaft/rotor is proven to be lighter and more reliable than 2 piece (steel/aluminum) designs which are prone to fastener failure and key/keyway wear. The intake/exhaust ports have been moved to the back end of the pump which has added to the "clean" look. Our major departure from all our other pumps is the use of 3 vanes instead of 4 to further reduce the cost. For the intended applications as we mentioned 10-15 in. Hg. 3 vanes work perfectly and does not require a vacuum regulator. Don't consider this pump "cheap", we use the same vane material, bearings and seals used on all our high end pumps. Now you can have the same quality and reliability that professional racers have been using for years in this sportsman version vacuum pump. Use mounting bracket STR04.01.004. (mass: pump with 24T composite pulley 1450g/3.19lbs.; mounting bracket 326g/0.72lbs.)

Star Intake/Exhaust Tank With -12AN Fittings
This new tank, manufactured from 6061-T6/651 aluminum then color anodized throughout, combines an air/oil separator to reduce or eliminate engine oil scavenged into the vacuum pump AND an exhaust section to catch oil exhausted by the vacuum pump. In addition to seperating the oil from the air drawn from the engine, the filter media within the tank will trap debris from worn or broken engine parts before it enters the vacuum pump. Drains are installed for the exhaust and the intake sides of the tank. (mass: 1060g/2.33lbs.) All new vacuum pumps are warranted for 1 year when used in conjuction with this tank.

Sportsman Pump Mounting Bracket
Manufactured from 6061-T6/651 and black anodized this bracket is used to mount our Sportsman Vacuum Pump. The bracket is designed to mount the pump directly to BBC cylinder heads or can be mounted to front engine plates. Stainless steel hardware to mount pump and bracket is included. (mass: bracket and hardware: 326g/0.72lbs.)

Star Inline Regulator For -12 Hose
Manufactured from 6061-T651 aluminum, color anodized and designed to be "spliced" into -12 (.75" ID) hose. Like all our regulators, this one is infinitely adjustable, there are no springs or shims to "fool" with. Simply loosen the jamb nut and turn the head to increase or decrease the vacuum set point. All our regulators have screened inlets to keep dirt out of our pumps and out of your engine. (mass: fitting 147g/.32lbs.; hose .115g/25lbs. per foot)
STR.02.05.200 $124.95
Star Inline Regulator For -10 Hose
Manufactured from 6061-T6/651 aluminum, color anodized and designed to be "spliced" into -10 (.63" ID) hose. Like all our regulators, this one is infinitely adjustable, there are no springs or shims to "fool" with. Simply loosen the jamb nut and turn the head to increase or decrease the vacuum set point. All our regulators have screened inlets to keep dirt out of our pumps and out of your engine. (mass: 130g/.29lbs.)
