Hi Gents,

My mates running a Nissan CA18DET in his cromie and needs to uprate the fuel pump to aviod leaning out at high boost. Is there a walbro or the like that fits in the original e30 cage thus remaining "in tank"?
Many Thanks
Ian

Hi Ian, pretty much all upgraded fuel pumps have a universal pickup, which is crap, and usually ends up with fuel starvation problems at the pump. If the rice burner needs lots of fuel then you would be better off with a swirl pot anyway

Hi Dan, Thanks for the heads up. I think we'll go that route as the "little Ricer" is actually a pretty good car and he's just fitted a T28r Turbo etc so will be having big injectors as well. Might have to stick a set of chopsticks to the boot instead of the roundell badge though LOL
