Will I definitely need a new fuel pump and cat?If I can help it I don't wanna bother with that but if I need to I guess I'll have to.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88043-will-a-new-fuel-pump-and-cat-be-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 7m 27d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 20/04/14 03:39 AM Share Posted 20/04/14 03:39 AM It is pointless to get a tune without changing the cat in my opinion, even more so if you want 14psi.If you want the cheapest option, why not tune only?As for fuel pump, I had 277rwkw on the stock pump. I am not able to say how safe it was as I have no idea if any fuel pressure logging was done.

The psi will depend on what the car will take.

(hey! I got a set!!!) Venom used to do a bolt in cat - but shop hard and maybe you can find an exhaust shop to do it for <450.If you really are bux down . . . .a tune alone is pretty good value actually - but then who stops at the pub for "just one drink."BTW - - - - -260 / 270 is a good street power level and bags of fun to drive without the car going mad ar*se each time you hit the go pedal.And.... the stock intercooler is already trembling and will surrender on a hot day.

I don't think doing any of this on the cheap is really well advised. may as well spend a few more dollars & reap the benifits with the safety. Just my opinion, I know others will disagree Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88043-will-a-new-fuel-pump-and-cat-be-needed/#findComment-1466660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
