The 460 pumps with "larger" pot is not by any means a surge solution.

Make sure you remove the plastic fitting that is on the return line in cradle or drill it out as much as possible....it has a 4-5mm hole and slows cradle filling and return line operation is hampered with a larger pump.

I run a 3/8 plastic line inside my cradle E85 friendly for the return with no fitting at all...hose sits snug in the hole just pushed in there.

413rwkw and 13.0 A/F tuned only to 165kmhr....GTX3582 19psi and Herrod pump finished.

Had 1500cc injectors and she would not richen up for us.

4spd auto stock stall.

Surged at 2/3 of a tank also with my tune(350rwkw at 100kmhr)....launch with traction in first and count to 4 then surge time....cradle was draining faster than fuel could be supplied to pump.

Sent it back to Herrods as it didn't flow claimed number....Herrod sold it on again new to someone :/....yup!

Good for linear tunes or smaller turbos....was quiet though.

IF u modified the Herrod system by changing the Venturi and "drilling a bigger hole" or popped off the fitting that is why your candle wasn't filling it up.

My understanding was that most Complete cradle replacements do not need modification majority of the time, only modify if u replace pump only.

With regrds to many of the posts above and in line with ratters comments, the system need to be engineered to work properly.

What this means is you cannot just change a pump, or modify a cradle, to try and improve fuel delivery.

By changing one aspect of a fuel sytem , it affects another.

eg larger flow pump affects fuel pressure,

or drilling / modifying cradle venturi affects the amount of scavenging refill.

Our KPM systems are engineered to work correctly in all areas.

That is why we supply the Pump and swirl pot assembly

The correct High flow fuel pressure regulator

and plug and play wiring kit.

This gives you a total system that works , correctly in all areas to supply maximum demand per power rating.

We now have 3 levels of intank systems that we believe completely eliminates any reason for a surge tank scenario.

Streetfighter Fuel Systems

Walbro 460 - up to 450 rwkw Petrol 420-430 E85

Streetfighter 600 - Up to 580 rwkw peterol 480 500 E85

All are supplied as a matched complete direct replacemant fit package including :

Swirl pot and pump assembly

High Flow fuel pressure regulator

Plug and play wiring/relay kit

Fitmant is straight forward and as per OEM saving on unnecessary labour and modifications.

All our systems are Petrol/ E85 compatable utisiing premium components.

Our Streetfighter 600 system utises our own KPM300 10,000 rated Petrol/E85 pumps. These are the only rated pumps in Australia at 10,000 hours on E85.

High flowed with a precision drill bit?

Any chance the brass fittings on the E85 Streetfighter pumps could be changed to be compliant to ethanol KPM?

It will bring it very close to a true E85 compatible pump.

people have been using jet drills for years with great success for fine calibration, but knowing the machining facilities available to KPM, I dare think they are using a little more than a set of hardware drills and a black and decker
