Hirdy Member 31 Member For: 6y 7m 5d Posted 20/01/19 05:57 PM Share Posted 20/01/19 05:57 PM Hey All, Ive been meaning to do this job for a while but was delayed by tuner so now the time is near I want to be sure I have all I need. So I Plan to install a intank walbro 460 pump into the stock cradle, all I currently have is the new pump and pump tea bag filter and wires that came with it. Has anyone done this job and know what else I require for it to work apart from running new wiring and Relay. As in do I need any hoses or anything and does it fit into stock cradle easily? Also Can I fit pump and still drive it before it gets new regulator and injectors installed while I am waiting for tuner and will it run as usual? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return line needs to be modified in tank, you'll need to modify the cradle as well and a new pressure line in the tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier. And then it should be done correctly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirdy Member 31 Member For: 6y 7m 5d Posted 22/01/19 02:04 AM Author Share Posted 22/01/19 02:04 AM I’m capable of doing the job it’s just that I haven’t done it before so just asking if anyone knows what specific parts I will need. I already have another regulator and also larger injectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizewise the pump is the same or near enough. Can't offer any help on exact mods to the cradle as I got the tuner to do that, not something you want to mess with for the pittance you'd pay extra. If you're on good terms with your tuner ask him to show you exactly where to drill and how big etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to hacksaw or dremel the pump support a bit so the pump can clear the bottom of the pot when you put the insert back in. That'll be a bit of trial and error and perhaps some measuring on your part. You wanna drill out the return holes where you can and make sure the black return piece is reinstalled under the pot. There is obviously more to fitting a pump, but that is the specific stuff that I encountered when fitting mine. Also you can fit the regulator yourself before tuning. Just make sure you set it to 4 bar. Communicate that to your tuner if you do it, so they can double check it's where it should be. Quite a while ago I talked about some things I did to mine, so the search bar, if it works, will yield results. There was also plenty of talk between members, somewhat recently, about what hose to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
