Aftermarket electric fuel pump, IHRA

IHRA answers this part for 29 of its classes. 2 of those answers permit the part outright and 12 permit it with stated conditions, leaving 15 that do not. 3 of the ones that do not are classes we read as open rather than as refusing it. 8 are inferred from how the class is written rather than quoted from a rule naming this part.

This page is IHRA only, and the bodies do not agree. The same part under IJSBA and UIM. Which one applies to you is decided by whoever sanctions the race you enter.


Where it stands, class by class

29 classes, grouped where the same rule gives the same answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules.

What each answer below means

OEM part required
This comes off. Only the part the manufacturer fitted is allowed here.
Not permitted, not listed in the rules
Treat it as coming off. The class requires the craft to stay stock except where the rules allow otherwise, and this part is not on the list, so this is our reading rather than a rule we can quote at you.
Legal, with conditions
Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
Legal
Keep it. The rules permit this part in this class.
No rule, this is an open class
Probably keep it. The class carries no stock clause at all, so anything unlisted appears to be open. The rulebook does not say so in terms, and this is our reading rather than a permission anybody wrote down.
