Gotech ecu's, has anybody got any experience of these or know of anyone that is using one.

Walbro 255 fuel pumps....Again does anybody run one, looking for general feedback on both of these items.

The Walbro is a good pump and way better than OEM. Worth an investment if you are running decent power and need guaranteed fuel delivery come hell or high water. Don't cost the earth either!!

Yes Pablo,
Walbro pumps are used widely on jap cars as an upgrade.
Make sure you go through the right channels and get a genuine one though. There are alot of copies on ebay.

Can only comment on the Walbro. I've had one in tank for ~5 years and it's fine. I now have a Bosch 044 external pump from a swirl pot with the Walbro as lift pump to the pot.

I thought Fords used an external pump?

Some Fords use external and some internal. At the moment ours is an external. What sort of power (approx) can these fuel upto. I know there are other considerations when it comes to power, I just need to get an idea if the walbo 255 will do the job.

Any time bud :-D

How's the build coming along?

Just a thought on the Walbro, they don't like being run at high pressures, more than 4.5 bar rings a bell. Mine runs 3.0 bar very happily.

Fingers crossed the base engine should be in and running next weekend

Having a bit of trouble getting the gaskets are they are on back order but think i have sorted that now. Once the engine is in the car i'll be starting a new thread, don't want to jinks it at the moment

Not a small build though.....basically everything has to be changed :roll:
