( I don't care what to) I was going to fit the Walbro GS341 kit ( 255ltr/hr ) But if this is any good I would pay the extra. Comes with the Walbro pump and they claim fixes surging. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/WALBRO-GSS341-255LPH-FUEL-PUMP-ASSEMBLY-FORD-FALCON-FG-FGX-XR6-TURBO-XR8-FPV-F6/292224073229 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94831-drop-in-fuel-pump-assembly-any-good/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,438 Member For: 17y 17d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 16/05/19 01:02 PM Share Posted 16/05/19 01:02 PM I got one for my BA XR6T (2004) and it had to be modified by the tuner to work at all for his requirements to tune the car. Unfortunately, the modification itself I have no details of as it appears to be a trade secret. An in-tank module can never guarantee to fix all "surge" issues, but can definitely help if the swirl pot itself is larger. Realistically, a surge tank is a better solution, but costs more for the higher capability to resolve surge and provide higher pumping abilities.

My tuner stripped the pump and module and check before it was installed. What fuel and power are you going for? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94831-drop-in-fuel-pump-assembly-any-good/#findComment-1683545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a surge tank is a better option for people looking for more rwkw. I just didn't want to buy this if its no better than just the walbro pump, which is half the price.

danger New Member 23 Member For: 11y 9m 16d Posted 18/05/19 12:00 AM Share Posted 18/05/19 12:00 AM Just upgrade the intank pump. I ran a proflow 340 lph pump intank and made 320 rwkw with no issues at all. Just don't get too low on fuel. You should be fine if you don't drive like a madman.

NA_TURBO Member 532 Member For: 9y 6m 19d Gender: Male Location: Mildura Posted 18/05/19 12:45 PM Share Posted 18/05/19 12:45 PM You would possibly need an aftermarket fuel pressure reg because the stock one doesn't always cope with the extra pressure. I'm not sure about a "tune" but as long as you're not raising the boost pressure I can't see how it would hurt.But if you get it tuned with a higher base fuel pressure, please don't think you can drop your fuel pressure back to stock base and think the car will be fine. We've already had someone do that.. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94831-drop-in-fuel-pump-assembly-any-good/#findComment-1683655 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the half decent pre assembled 460lt/hr mra's should have the bigger hole already. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94831-drop-in-fuel-pump-assembly-any-good/#findComment-1683658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
