Lingenfelter has a new Walbro Fuel Pump upgrade for the SSR now.

Joe,
If I may ask, after reading the paragraph I picked this out: "This pump flows roughly 50 gph at 60 psi at 12 Vdc"

Where a standard unit from the factory would be compared to their flow?
Potential outcome on a non-S/C unit?

Thanks

Rob

It is not needed unless you have a MagnaCharger or other forced induction system. The only reason to upgrade would be for the 2005-2006 MagnaCharged SSR's.

Thanks Joe

So Joe, does this eliminate the need for the voltage booster we have on our present magnuson set up. Also where is the fuel pump, I thought it was in the fuel tank.

The fuel pump is in the tank. You could realisticly run the pump only (no MagnaVolt) with boost levels below 8 psi with this pump.

Sounds like a "cleaner" set up and more dependable way to go to me. Thanks for the info.

I have one on order {free delivery} and fully expect to run the MagnaVolt Feature with it. The last thing I want to experience is intermittent fuel delivery when on 8 lbs of boost.

Will this help me burn through my gasoline quicker or more efficiently?

Please try and remember that a lot of us, are stilll learning and don't speak Mechanics 101

Focks, a supercharged or turbo charged engine tends to run lean with all the additional airflow created by the forced induction. A higher volume of fuel is required to richen or "fatten" up the fuel to air ratio and prevent starvation that will burn pistons and valves if left unchecked. I think it would be more of an engine safety issue than one of efficiency. Fuel consumption would be "on demand" so I wouldn't think MPG would be affected unless you are running at WOT. Some of our more technical members may have a better answer for this.

Well said, Greg.

On my SSR that I just sold, I also had an Auto Meter Nexus fuel pressure gauge that lights up "red" if the fuel pressure drops below a pre-set level that you set. I set that pre-set limit very high - just under normal pperating pressure - so that the slightest glitch would prompt a red display sooner versus later.

The fuel pump is able to provide more volume then the stock pump and when used with a MagnaVolt will provide up to 70 Gallon Per Hour of flow volume.

Think about it this way, at the small cost for the fuel pump upgrade you get added insurance that your engine will receive the volume of fuel it needs.

The addition of the pump on a MagnaCharged SSR would not require a tune and would not run any different so long as your stock pump is in working order.

I ordered one, So I assume the fuel tank has to be pulled?

CAUTION! I'm not sure if the tank actually needs to be fully pulled out, but . . .

Be very careful in playing with the fuel system, for OBVIOUS reasons!!

Barbequed SSR, or worse, injured Genaris, would not be a good outcome.

Actually, I'm not the one that is going to install it, I have a pro friend doing it..........thanx for the warning though........can it be done without pulling the tank?

2005SSR6Speed · 02-14-2008, 01:26 PM

The pump is in the tank, the tank has to be drained and pulled.

JimGnitecki · 02-14-2008, 03:29 PM

Genaris: Much easier and safer to do when the tank is near empty, of course.

That's what I figured. I am going on a cruise next week and my friend is going to install my guages and new fuel pump while I'm gone. When i get back, I'm bringin the SSR to MTI for a final tune and then I'm done with her..............I hope.........

MTI Racing in Atlanta?

Good choice. Reese Cox is a superb tuner. He did all the tuning on my own SSR while I was in Atlanta for several months. He and his team practice what they preach too - they have an active dragracing and oradracing support program that feeds new info into their work for individual buyers like yourself.

Reese is also the designer and builder of the Dual Shotgun exhaust system on my own SSR, which is easily the most effective exahust system I have personally ever bought.

Reese and his crew are a class act.
