If your circuit racing, yeah. Or if you can't keep your fuel tank level above 1/2ish when at drags, yes. But apart from that, you don't need it. An in-tank Walbro will supply enough fuel for what you want. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64755-advice/#findComment-967326 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, Plenty of people have done it. But Personally I don't like it.Surge on a problem on sedans with low fuel, and increased power levels.An 044, especially mounted as per a Process West setup, is better fuel setup to support higher power levels, and elimintate surge.I've had cars, go from a intank only setup, to getting a PW Surge tank installed, and found the engine responds nicer when it has a 044 up the front.The Afr's were correct before and after, but there is a noticeable difference in the after setup. I've even managed to put more timing in also.The Process West surge tank is the only one I would consider for these vehicles.

While I was going to upgrade the pump to the bosch 044 unit I was thinking why not throw in that ebay surge tank just ask extra safety. Only a couple of hundred bucks anyway.

straughsberry Donating Members 1,846 Member For: 17y 9m 5d Gender: Male Location: Broady, Melbourne Posted 02/01/10 02:32 PM Share Posted 02/01/10 02:32 PM Any surge tank will go somewhat towards eliminating surge! Personally, I want to build (or have get built!) a removable 15-20 litre tank which will utilise the spare wheel assembly for fastening and will be removable. Along side that, there will be a similar removable NO2 bottle (did someone say cough, sneaky pete, cough cough). Some fab will have to be done but I know some guys who can handle that Moving right along, I've heard nothing but good things about the Process West unit. We all know that Kev's stuff is very well made indeed. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64755-advice/#findComment-967587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
