Alright, Important update here. I actually had a suction hose failure on my car, which I'm chalking up to the angle of the S85 pump's inlet putting some tension on it. That with repeated track use split the hose.

I got to thinking and looking and trying to figure out how to fix this for good and since the two housings look identical other than that input angle, I figured I'd pop them open to see if the guts of the S85 pump could simply be put in the S65 housing. Can't hurt to look.

Sure enough, they're identical other than the direction the orifices face so I just put the S85 guts into the S65 housing, all new hoses, and away we go. This actually happened in the spring [and I forgot to update this] so the car has some road miles and many track days on it with flawless results.

I reused the same belt as above.
