Depends on what stage chip you are going to be using. Stage 1 should be ok AFAIK but more than that i think you have to het an uprated one.

Well unsure at mo just brought a ggr grp a pump thinking of stg 1 4 now its just bit slow as std. ive got a set of greens and a 3bar left over from my last cos its so temptin 2 just buy a stage 3 chip and away we go again.

I would have thought a grp a fuel pump would be good enuff for stage 3. Did ggr not say what stage u could go up to with it? I think a stage 3 chip would be the way to go. Slow cossies arent any good are they.

I have slow cossie tho thats the prob unsure what 2do with her at mo shes only done 30k had 2 do an exhaust cus the standard 1 was shot so brought a mongoose and that ggr fuel pump they did say its suitable 4up 2 400ish but not 100% sure of that.

due to the age of the car and the fact the for 120 quid inc vat and delivery for the walbro 255l/h pump , is it worth even risking - the pump is a DIRECT replacement for the factory one, BUT shift about 4 times the amount of fuel.

got mine next day from http://www.fuelsystem.co.uk/ very helpful .

So is that better than the ggr grp a 1 the m8 cus i aint got a clue the ggr1 has arrived now so i mite stick it in 2nyt. and see how it goes only pain tho is dropping the tank and gettin dirty hands.

I am told that pumps from big Mercedes engines are great for the application. I have one from S500 or smth and it works fine.

Cheers m8 any tips on fitting it i know youve got 2 drop the tank and ive purchased a new o ring and locking ring

Dave Henshall

if its not a lux - u can access the pump from the removable panel in the boot.

tip - use lots of wd-40 on all the bolts for the straps - i ened up having to angle grind them off and fit a new stud like in the hole as the tin plante that anchors the facotry nut snaps off cos its so rusty.

i believe the grp a GGR unit pumps 195 l/h and is a large unit that is twice the size of the std one, its actually one from a audi quatro - so ive been told

Dave Henshall

ps, the walbro one is the same unit as i used in my 350 brake evo 6 as do most of the other peeps in evoland its good for around 500 brake.

Cheers m8 had better buy sum wd40 then mite just take her 2 local garage a get it sorted give sumbody else the hassle at least they cant mess the paintwork up if there underneath it just hope they dont smoke
