12 Volt Electric Vacuum Pump 6-amp

The 12 Volt Electric Vacuum Pump 6-amp by CVR PERFORMANCE is an essential component for engine builders, performance mechanics, and street rod enthusiasts who demand reliable brake and emissions system operation without belt-drive losses. This standalone vacuum source eliminates dependence on engine vacuum, making it ideal for custom engine swaps, supercharged or turbocharged builds, and high-RPM applications where traditional vacuum generation becomes unreliable or insufficient. Whether you're upgrading a vintage muscle car with modern power brakes or building a race engine with aggressive cam profiles, this electric pump delivers consistent vacuum pressure on demand.

Operating at 12 volts with a 6-amp draw, the CVR PERFORMANCE vacuum pump is engineered as a compact, efficient solution for tight engine bays and complex custom installations. The 8.1 x 5.7 x 12.8-inch footprint weighs only 7.05 pounds, allowing flexible mounting options on firewall, fender, or frame rails without adding significant mass. The 6-amp electrical requirement makes it compatible with most aftermarket charging systems and modern alternators, while the electric-only operation means zero parasitic drag on the crankshaft—critical for maximizing horsepower in competition-focused builds or efficiency-conscious street applications.

Mechanics and fabricators benefit most when integrating this pump into forced-induction platforms, LS swaps, or any engine configuration where camshaft design or displacement prevents adequate engine vacuum production. Installation typically involves wiring to a 12-volt source through a relay, then routing vacuum lines to brake boosters, HVAC blend doors, emission canisters, or aftermarket vacuum-operated components. The pump operates independently of engine speed and load, ensuring consistent brake pedal feel and responsive power-assist regardless of throttle position or boost pressure—essential for safety and drivability in street-legal performance vehicles.
