Hello
Anyone replaced the pump in a vitara 1.6 gas tank for a better flowing one , say one from a 2.5 v6 or aftermarket one .

Thinking of using the factory tank in a project as I have one but need to have enough flow for about 200 hp . So would be nice if a v6 pump could bolt into a 1.6 tank etc as I don't need the extra capacity .

Otherwise anyone changed the pump itself in the tank for an aftermarket one .

Doubt the 1.6 pump is good for that much hp .

Cheers
Chris

check the last pages of my build thread i've used the walbro in tank fuel pump which is rated to 500HP and 255GPH the factory wiring plug fits the fuel pump, have a look in the photo's it was a fairly easy fit ;)

Walbro GSS-342 is a nice fit into an EFI SWB 1.6 Vitara tank. As oozuk said its pretty much a bolt in, but not quite. The walbro is a little longer than the standard one that came out of my tank but a slight bend in the mount and a trim of the hose and it fits beautfiully.

I got the same pump as Oozuk but my power connector on the old pump was a stud and bolt style terminal rather than flat blade terminals but again it was a quick fix anyway to crimp on some new terminals.
