fuel pump, upgrade any idea's??

[no1tosh]

hey well since i upped my boost my fuel pump has been getting very noisy, so im assuming its on it way out.

so im thinking to upgrade a little bit rather than put a standard one on. what are you guys running?

nothing to special, i was thinking maybe around £100 ish


cheers

the Walbro 255lph is a common upgrade for the internal pump

I've put in the Deatschwerks 300 - direct replacement.

i suppose a DW200 is enough 255 lph same as a walbro

[Wobbly Dave]

Certainly depends on which FPR you run. I was overly cautious.

255 is more than enough for most applications tis what i need

[Wobbly Dave]

DW200 is the model...

i know its the model but they are car specific, or is yours a universal one?

[Wobbly Dave]

the plug is E85 which is compatible with most in-tank pumps. The whole thing is a direct swap.... this is the DW300 - but I am sure the 200 is identical.

Out of interest could a pump from a larger car do? Like something from a V8 ?

It might not fit into the tank, but there are other options. I'm using 2 pumps, the original intank pump fills the swirl pot, then I've got a 300lph pump from the to the fuel rail

Wont that empty the swirl pot quicker than the in tank can supply?

[Wobbly Dave]

I have a spare Bosch motorsport 044 pump that I had fitted originally - if you want to buy that & a Volvo loom should you need it?

even if the swirl pot does empty the 2nd pump will then suck it straight from the tank with additional help from the 1st pump. The swirl pot has a 2litre capacity so will take a good while on full throttle before it gets that low

[cherry1809]

You'd be using some serious fuel to empty the swirl pot with a standard pump!
I am a bit §§§§ed, but the key is pressure right? The standard pump won't keep the required pressure in the system where as the Walbro will. But the standard pump should be more than man enough to supply said Walbro, as the unused return fuel is dumped back in the tank anyway.

my fuel returns to the swirl pot

[no1tosh]

i might do dave if you have it in a couple of weeks, these tyres have put me on my §§§§ lol.

so i know that the pump is a weak point and a common problem, how much power can a good condition one cope with?

[cherry1809]

my fuel returns to the swirl pot
Right, sober now. Lol.
What I meant was, the Walbro can keep the required pressure where as the standard one couldn't.
But the standard pump should be strong enough to supply the Walbro with the returned unused fuel on top going back to the swirl pot :)
Is that right?
