I wouldn't let your fuel level get below ~1/4 -1/8 tank if you remove that "box" if you do any racing or aggresive driving...IMHO.

^^Yeah, that box actually stores some fuel in it for when G forces from turning or hard launches send fuel sloshing to one side of tank. The pump is stationary and can't scavenge w/o that box. My old bugeye did not have the box and below a 1/4 tank of fuel and aggressive driving would cut out from lack of fuel. Especially with the walbro which sat higher up.

Does the walbro fuel pump make lots of noise?

First click/turn of the key, you can hear it prime. But if you do a full turn; (crank the engine), you should'nt be able to hear it over the exhaust.

I have an 06 btw. 04-05's might be louder since their fps are placed (under the seat) whereas the 06-07's are further back.

Thank you.

I would assume the fps would be in the same spot in MY06-07, very interesting. Is the fps in the trunk or something?

did the install in 1 hour. I dont no much with cars but i was able to do this because of this write up. I had the kit so i used everything in the kit (just my prefrence). I dont know why they would supply it if it sucked. Anyway i kept all the old things so if anything should happen then i will just replace it not a big deal. I did it on the 06 i HIGHLY reccomend taking out the back seats. Its not hard at all but you need the room to twist the unit etc.
Thanks

dumb question but, a local tuner said installing a walbro will lower my IDC's on stage2, however ive heard the stock sti fuel pump is more then enough for stage 2.

Plus how would i lower my IDC's if im not increasing my fuel pressure, i'd still be pumping the same amount of fuel...

yongsooSTi · 04-08-2008, 12:45 AM

i dont think i got the little wire with the fuel pump i got..do i really need that to finish the install?

As long as the wires look fine use the stock ones.

jagstyle · 07-05-2008, 11:32 AM

is there anyway to relieve the pressure in the fuel lines without starting the car?
