The Bosch Motorsport pump should be easily available an is widely used by many. B580 152 460 . Info I have says it will support 3.6 l/min @ 45psi or 600 bhp @ 45 psi. fuel presssure.
As for filters, there are a variety of aftermarket ones around.
CAPA Oz although Im not sure if they have credit card orders?? but still have a lot of fuel related items.
I am using an Aeromotive A1101 on my granada, and matching fuel filter. This pump will support 700bhp+ @ 45psi and is bloody huge. They will send a free catalog if you request one. Only takes a couple of days too.
Aeromotive
I purchased them from Tony at Need for Speed in Florida.
Need for Speed

This place seems to make some interesting claims about the Walbro pumps
Not actually sure who they are

2 standard sierra ( coswroth are the same ) bosch pumps will be more than enough for pretty much any car, and can be bought for around £100 each. Also note, most external efi pumps as far as I know do not lift fuel. They need to be either fed by a pump, or below the level of fuel in the tank and gravity fed.
A single pump is good, and does simplify things. If you need more than than the A1101 supplies, then Im amazed ( I see the new info claiming it supports 800bhp forced induction now ). It flows more than most pumps, and at 12v. A lot of flow comparisons wil be at the higher 13.5v. The SX pumps are even better, but also much more expensive. You can also get wee thingies that increase the voltage to make them flow more, altho reducing pump life.
I have a controller for mine ( not fitted yet ) that reduces the voltage to the pump at low revs, to increase pump life, and also to lessen the chances of heating the fuel.
For a lift pump, I am using a single Carter low pressure 100gph ( US gallons I think ) pump. Its a bit noisy, but cost less than £100 is ideal for supplying a remote reservoir, which can then feed the main pump. They are quite compact though.
I'd post a couple of pics, but everytime I click "Upload" my bloody computer locks up!!!
it worked this time though... The Low pressure pump isnt too easy to see, in front of the spare wheel. The low pressure pump draws through the filter, then supplies the reservoir, with any excess returning to the main tank. The main pump is then fed from the reservoir, to the fuel rails, and then back into the main tank ( not the reservoir as this can cause the fuel to get quite hot )
Even so, The fuel in my tank last summer did seem to get quite warm. Possibly due to the quantity of fuel being pumped and the heat in the engine compartment ( and heating the fuel rails ) Hopefully the fuel pump controller will help, or I will also add a fuel cooler. If fuel gets too hot, it can cause det, although I dont know how hot is bad.
It must be a concern even on the std rover efi V8 system, as the fuel rail even has a temp sender built in.
