I know KPM are selling a similar item, and state that its a 460 lph unit. After talking to these guys, they reckon its the same pump as the 400lph. You will have to tab down page to see what I'm talking about. As the initial sale is for 255lph. Also wondering at what point you can use the 400lph (power wise) as I have seen some articles stating that they can't be used on less than 500hp. As I thought that the fuel regulator would be able to control pressure. But was thinking that the pump may cavitate.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FALCON-BA-BF-XR6-TURBO-XR8-WALBRO-GSS340-BIG-POD-FUEL-PUMP-COMPLETE-ASSEMBLY-/290811246355?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43b5b37713 Edited 04/12/12 10:56 PM by Impellor Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83090-anyone-usedknow-anything-about-these-new-fuel-pumpscradle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 11m 5d Gender: Not Telling Posted 05/12/12 07:38 AM Author Share Posted 05/12/12 07:38 AM The general concensous is that a fuel regulator is not required for the 400lph pump, as the factory reg will have no trouble. This info came from a tuner that has a car making 735RWKW's. Sound familar.Anyway, I bit the bullet and bought the 255lph unit. I will let you know what its like after fitting. The beauty is if I wish to upgrade to the 400lph jobbie, its just a "swap and go".Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83090-anyone-usedknow-anything-about-these-new-fuel-pumpscradle/#findComment-1333813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might give it a shot with the bigger pump Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83090-anyone-usedknow-anything-about-these-new-fuel-pumpscradle/#findComment-1334434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
