I've got the thread saved, so I'll upload them all in this post.

I did this but didn't sit the bracket down properly, oops. Does anyone else have quite a loud pump noise when turning ignition to ON but not turning the car on just yet? Heh. All good.

^^Awesome

I was gonna upload some pics when i do mine, but no need now, i shall still take some though.

Just a question about the install. Once i have installed the fuel pump, i don't need to change anything else, such as pressure's, injector duty cycles, etc etc. It's just install and go?

If you're still running stock ECU/FPR/injectors, no, I'm pretty sure it's all sweet.

I'm having the Adaptronic ECU installed at the moment, and I don't think it needs to adjust... but when I upgrade my inj/fpr/turbo, I'll have to make modifications to the flowrate.

Any fuel hose should do, just make sure it is the right size.

I tried installing mine today...i failed miserably :D. I got the pump onto the bracket, but when i went to install the pump into the tank, it wouldn't go in, like it was too big or something. Could it have been because i hose clamped the pump to the bracket? the pictures above just show the fuel pump just hanging there, is that right?

I used a metal ring clamp thingy to attach the pump to the bracket after cutting it, and it fits fine ;) Just gotta wiggle it around a bit.

And yeah, new fuel hose is good; just get stuff the same size, it's fair cheap.

Turns out I had a Walbro GSS 341 in there; now sitting here doing nothing :)

For wiring sake. Is the wire with the green stripe on it positive or negative? Im replacing the terminals now and forgot to take note of which way they went.

Thanks.

Likewise :) . The solid red cable is Positive (+), the red cable with line (grey/green, cant remember) is Negative (-).

Could i have a little help please fellas.

I am trying to do my pump again, and i am stuck as where to mount it.

Could you tell me from the following pictures, which way i need to mount it.

Last week when i tried, i tried doing in the same way as the third picture shows. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as my car is my daily, and i have work tomz.

I fitted mine the other week...only lasted about 500k's, the pipe i used was wrong and melted and the pump wasn't secured to the cradle. So the pump fell into the tank, and the car broke down, had to leave it in a maccas carpark for 2-3 days.

this is what i did...

Luckily my boss had installed a few of these before, he fitted it like you have shown. However i am only using 1 hose clamp (bottom one), i also got some new fuel hose from Autobarn. I also found that for me, the pump went in with the hose clamp tensioner/screw at the back of the cradle, so the opposite side to what you have.

ok just wann know,

when mounted so low does this cause any issues like hitting the bottom of the tank as mentioned above?

and

Why are you guys not concerned about not using a filter/sock?

cheers

and while i am at it, these can be mounted in tank but these are "push" type pumps does this mean you gotta have 1/2 a tank to work/

and is anyone running these in tank without any surge tank setup

sorry about all the noob questions

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
