Hyperflow Anti Fuel Surge - anyone used?
after a recent track day at Brands, i experienced the dreaded fuel surge!
i have started looking into a solution. i know a swirl pot is probably best, but has anyone used one of these:
01-05 WRX/STI Anti Surge Tank - Internal [HYAST-WRX001] - £190.16 : AET ENGINEERING - AETTURBOSONLINE
if so, what where the results?
And i assume this fits in the fuel tank? did you fit yourself? easy job??
Any and all comments welcome, or suggestions for a better solution with pics and prices!

This is similar to the super expensive one subaru do (in the Spec C iirc).
You can also do a cheap home made version like this.

Fitted one a few weeks ago ready for a trackday at Spa this coming Monday, bit of an awkward job, worst part was trying to get the whole assembly back in through the top of the fuel tank.
Obviously don't know the results yet, there was another thread on here and I think the general thought was that it may help a bit but not really a complete cure.

Greenwood racing are doing them for quite a bit less.
:: GRD - Greenwood Racing Developments ::
I tried to source the anti surge box as fitted to US STis last year without success. They aren't a separate part number but have to be bought with the fuel pump.

Well, just thought I'd let you know how I got on at Spa, fine apart from getting FUEL SURGE coming out of Stavelot bend at anything below half a tank
Only doing it at that one point on the track (a fairly fast right hander) and once filled with fuel the problem went away until back down to half a tank again so I presume it was surge so the Hyperflow kit hasn't helped at all.

The idea behind these devices is to capture some fuel in the box as you turn into a right hand bend and stop it sloshing away from the pickup. The return feed is usually pumped back into the box, which should help a bit too.
A swirl pot is still the best solution, but not always one that people who use their cars as a daily driver are prepared to accept.
No you won't need to do this unless you track the car or are already having fuel surge problems.

Have a read of that thread I posted, it seems that fitting the pickup lower in the tank is key to this actually working properly.

Swirl pots themselves are not that expensive ... approx £80, but the lines, fittings and extra in line fuel pump will push the price up. Sure someone who has fitted one will chirp in with the total cost.
