D DUB Member 56 Member For: 12y 4m 26d Gender: Male Location: central coast NSW Posted 22/03/13 06:31 AM Share Posted 22/03/13 06:31 AM Im looking to upgrade my fuel system with my next round of mods. The car (bf2) has been in my garage with a hdi cooler fitted for a while now. Looking at doing injectors, exhaust,tune and pump. Problem is the tuner I used on my last car has moved and the bloke I just spoke to doesn't seem too interested/helpful. (He's got a rep as a good tuner but average bloke). I explained I was only after average power (270-300rwkw tops). I suggested a walbro in tank upgrade and he told me the in tanks have problems with overheating and to go a PW surge tank. The price difference is about $700. Do I need this or will the walbro do the job easily and SAFELY? Keeping in mind I don't flog the snot out of it too often. Im happy to spend the $ if necessary but would like some opinions.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84353-in-tank-upgrade-or-surge-tank/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 7m 24d Posted 22/03/13 10:32 AM Share Posted 22/03/13 10:32 AM Its not a matter of the walbro being able to cope, its the surging issue. Any car with over 300rwkw can have issues with surging especially if you let the tank get low and decide to give her some.I was in the same boat. Going to spend $300 for an intank pump with cradle or $1150 for new PW kit with walbro 460. Decided to go with the PW cause I couldn't be effed fueling up ever half a tank and for the extra $700-800 I have security that when a clubby wants to go you from a set of lights you don't have to check your fuel and decide not to smash him because your fuels too low lol 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84353-in-tank-upgrade-or-surge-tank/#findComment-1373818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
