Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 6m 8d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 26/01/12 11:34 PM Share Posted 26/01/12 11:34 PM So FG's running stock turbos should upgrade there pump but don't need a surge tank as they can't make over 330? Lot's of tuners say the FG pump is fine to max the stock turbo but I'd still upgrade it just for piece of mind.If you give it a bootfull with an empty tank it's your own fault anyway.It's easy to just say buy everything but there has to be levels where stuff is actually needed or not, otherwise everyone should just buy fully built engines with 10k fuel setups then nothing can go wrong..

It would take alot of WOT to drain a surge tank even with a stock intank pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have to worry about a thing giving it a boot full or throwing it sideways with the fuel light on. Changing the intank pump is the waste of money and not the surge tank IMOYou definitely wont drain a surge tank on the street. Unless you are running from the cops maybe but still doubt it.

It would take alot of WOT to drain a surge tank even with a stock intank pump?Depending on fuel choice. If you said e85, I would say you need a second 044.Provided the intank pump is in good working order, it should be fine for a supply pump, and yes, provided the main tank is NOT surging, (ie, less than 1/4 tank fuel), it should manage to keep the surge tank full.Remembering under normal conditions, it operates at 5 bar + boost total presure . When running as a supply pump for the surge tank, it has a much easier job, and should be fine. Obviously a High KM based vehicle / intank pump, I would suggest otherwise. Infact, what I would suggest is1) Get a surge tank, 0442) replace the fuel filter under the car/passenger seat position3) remove intank, clean the black sh*t out of the swirl pot, and inspect the intanks fuel filter. Replace as required.I can garentee that when people fit surge tanks, they forget about 2 and 3 above.I currently have a Walbro intank, and a PW surge tank with 2 fuel pumps. I also have the PW fuel rail which allows me to feed each pump to each side of the fuel rail, with a center return which goes via a Turbosmart fuel regulator.Realistically, anyone above 400rwkw should have a setup like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The std reg can not bleed off enough fuel when it is not required, so you have excessively rich idle/low loads. at high loads its fine.A duel feed fuel raid wouldn't work well in your situation, You only have 1 pump. If you split that into two, I don't really see a large advantage of this over single feeding.However, I do recommend you get a aftermarket fuel reg like the turbosmart fpr1200 instead of the std one, esp with the a1000.
