Adam and Fatz were right ( And actually agree on something!) The utes don't suffer from surge anywhere near as much as the sedans.When I used to run at Calder and Heathcote, I ran with the fuel light on some runs and never had surge problems.I do run a set up now the has and in tank Walbro feeding a swirl pot that an 044 draws from and supplies the fuel rail, but I am running 400rwkw + now.Both setups have been powered right though, don't ever try to feed both pumps with the same feed wire, they will draw too much current and the pumps will die.

I remember craig had to run over 3 quarters of a tank to drag his when it was making 385ish rwkw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power The 'nice guy' Donating Members 314 Member For: 19y 22d Gender: Male Location: Sydney (Area around Ryde) Posted 03/09/07 11:59 PM Share Posted 03/09/07 11:59 PM I originally had a standard Ford pump (of course!) and had a Walbro fitted to the standard caddy by others who will remain nameless. No end of trouble, and ultimately even found one of the stock fuel lines were cracked in the assembly and kindly replaced 'under warranty', sort of expressed as a favour as I took it - shheeesh!Still perhaps remained a problem....Got a REALLY nice setup installed by C&V who went back to the standard Ford pump in tank (whole assembly new) and pulled out the Walbro assembly with the fix including an ugly clamp...C&V added a 2L surge tank low on the passenger side of the engine bay low at the firewall with Bosch 044. Very nice!Agree re noise - WOW! As someone asked me recently, does that thing have a supercharger installed - ha ha ha. Fun to begin with as it adds some noise 'bling' but it does get to you, particualrly as a daily driver and family car!I'll no doubt get some rubber mounts for the pump, and am sure C&V would do this anyway.Talk to Jeff or Con about this one (sedan).
