Fry Member 123 Member For: 17y 10m 7d Gender: Male Location: S/E Melb Posted 01/04/08 07:34 AM Share Posted 01/04/08 07:34 AM just got my ute tuned with bigger injectors and they tell me that my stock pump is maxxed out at 240rwkw and need a bigger one, says he can open injector cycle to 100% after 4800rpm and just can't get any more fuel out of them, I was under the impression they were good for heaps more, have I got a dud or could it be something else, utes got cat, wog cooler, bigger injectors, 2nd cai, any ideas?

Got the walboro, retuned, good as new! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44086-fuel-pump-maxxed-at-240kw/#findComment-653158 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked the in tank sock on the bottom of the pump ?

The only other problem you may run into is your Valve springs, if you have an early model T then they are more likely to float, hence not holding boost.
