I think my fuel pump is packing it in cause the car leans out all the time, especially just after startup. I've got an A/F meter in the car and it dips right into the red and you get no acceleration when it flat spots. I'm thinking its the pump cause I probably killed it when I ran super high fuel pressure with the turbo setup.
Anyway, I'm gonna run NOS in the future so i want something that's got a bit more flow than the stocko MPI fuel pump. I heard that Walbro make a good in-tank pump that flows a heap of fuel, and if I remember correctly there is a Merc Benz pump that flows a fair bit but I don't know what model it's from. Then there is always the Bosch ones, I think it's the 070 or VL turbo ones or something? Anyway, what I want to know is what pumps do you guys recommend and do i have to get an in-tank one or can i just **** that off and get an external one? Cheers Doug. edit: how much do the MPI Ford pumps flow btw? |

You should be able to pick up an intank 500hp walbro pump for $160 from ebay or Performance forums, calaisturbo forums etc etc.
I had one but never fitted it and sold it along with my turbo gear. Apparantly they are pretty good.

The pump to go for is the Walbro 255l/hr GSS340. Don't get sucked into buying a GSS342 as they are set up as returnless pumps and are not happy running constantly and lead to premature failure.

Would a GSS-341 be any good? They are the ones they have on ebay. |
