Default Uprated fuel pump fitting

How difficult is it to fit a Walbro pump to a Classic STI V2?

I've tried looking with search for a guide but with no joy

Thanks for your help!!

Its pretty straightforward. I did it last week and only today deleted a bookmarked guide to doing it - which I now can't find again!!

Basically:

  • take the back seats out
  • remove the cover to pump (4 screws) - on drivers side of car
  • take fuel pipes off
  • remove 10 8mm bolts
  • take out pump assembly
  • swap over pumps
  • reverse above!
Oh and make sure the tank is under a quarter full before you start!!

And i couldn't tip any top bits down?
