GZ Motorsports Specializes in Racing Vacuum Pump Technology

We manufacture two models, each with a different goal in mind.

VP104 Street/Strip Vacuum Pump

This is our in house designed and manufactured diecast aluminum vacuum pump using our specialty castings. This pump utilizes a crankshaft design with carbon fiber vanes and rulon wipers. It moves a lot of air (33cfm), and is very long lasting - we recommend service at 10,000 to 15,000 miles or 900 runs at the drag strip! It's virtually maintenance free on both the street and strip. This pump is used in many applications, Drag and Drive, Bracket Racing, No-Prep, Drag Radial and even Pro Mod. It's a proven performer with many thousands sold.

High Flow Capacity
Very Reliable, No Maintenance
Exceptional on the Street & Strip
It's an Aluminum casting, it's a bit heavier than most other vacuum pumps

VP105, Our Latest Lightweight Vacuum Pump Design

VP105 Lightweight Racing Vacuum Pump

This is our no holds barred, drag racing only vacuum pump. It's designed to be lightweight, and smaller than our VP104 for those that are trying to save every gram off the race car. This pump uses the racing industry standard sliding vane design, very similar to other racing pumps. It flows about the same air volume as our VP104, at 1/2 the weight. It also has all sealed bearings to help prevent Methanol corrosion damage.

The drawback to the sliding vane design is the vanes do tend to stick occasionally due to dirty oil, like all other brands, so they will need cleaning. The cleaning interval varies depending on your engine, the amount of blowby gas it's moving, how much oil gets sucked into the pump (baffles in valve cover help), and of course how many hours/laps you put on the car.

Maintenance consists of squirting some carb or brake cleaner into the inlet, this will typically keep the vanes free of the nasty stuff that gets sucked out of the crankcase instead of going into your oil. If you let it get dirty enough, it might need to be taken apart and cleaned out. It will also need to have the vanes replaced every couple of seasons (an easy job for the owner).

What is a Crankshaft Style Vacuum Pump?

From the outside most Racing Vacuum Pumps look very similar, they all have a two hose connections, and a pulley on the front. But that's where the similarity ends. There are two basic vacuum pump designs used in motorsports, the sliding vane design, and the crankshaft design that uses floating vanes used exclusively by GZ Motorsports. Watch this video to see inside of the pumps to learn the difference.

What our customers think

We've tried several other vacuum pumps over the years, we even put two of another very well known brand on at the same time, but none compare to the GZ Motorsports Super Pro pump.

I am really impressed with the GZMS VP101 Sportsman Vacuum pump and kit. We installed it on a 347 cubic inch Small Block Ford build up we did for Ford Muscle Car Magazine. When we dyno'd the motor it made 702 hp without the vacuum pump and 735 hp with the pump. That's a 33 hp gain with just the pump. We also noticed an increase in the rpm at which peak horse power was made.

The intake manifold is dry as a bone! It used to be wet with oil after a few runs due to big ring gaps,big cylinders,clearance of pistons and tons of nitrous...

Your set up is great and I would recommend it to anyone who wants serious horsepower out of there car. Best investment I made. If anyone has any questions about installing this set up on there car I would be more than happy to talk to them.
