Swirl pot / fueling set ups
 

post your swirl pot / fuel set up

got an sm engineering jobby to put in somewhere so need inspiration inc hosing, pumps etc.

mines got 3 x -6 'inlets' i presume and a -8 outlet, sound normal? does one have to be a breather?

will be interesting to see some set ups as i will be doing this soon :thumb:

and me :)

I can get mine posted next year as my car isn't within reach to take a picture :)

great pics guys
i do love a swirly

yeah would be nice to see some of the smaller setups where it doesnt take the whole boot up...

I have mounted mine under the bonnet, passenger side at the rear just in front of the removed air con pipes. No pics at the moment but I will try and get some.

In answer to the breather question, no the 4 pipes are return to tank, return to swirl pot from regulator, and feed in and feed out.

really? some pics of yours would be appreciated martyn, can you let me know which pipes on yours are which then? iv got one on the top, 3 on the side, the bottom -8 must be the fuel out im guessing. not sure which way round to arrange the other 3 x -6 ones!

bttt :wonder:

theyre clearly as rare as hens teeth :lol:

Isnt it a bit dodgy putting the swirl pot cool etc in the front of a car engine bay where its most likely to suffer damage in an off/accident?

A bit like having the fuel tank at the back ... depends which part of the car you crash.

Simple - dont crash ;)

nicely Duncan, very cool setup

whats the logic behind a fuel cooler then, does cooler fuel make more bang? very trick! how did you know when to fit one?

very nice setup duncan!

TA at Snetterton in october 2008 and my car started leaning out massively because the fuel got warm (well hot actually) because pushing too much pressure through the pump. Hot fuel expands and effectively leans out the mixture.

The fuel cooler has done a perfect job at sorting that small issue out. Just fitted it in the return to the swirl pot from the fuel regulator.

A sytec bullit fuel filter is now mounted on the otherside of plate and all fittings have been ordered from Alex Austin at Torques UK with sard FPR mounted on bulkhead with mocom racing adapted fuel rails .

Swirl pot, pump and filter all mounted in the engine bay.

Pot is in the background, if you squint, you can make it out. Pump and filter in a separate cradle. The pot is fed from a Walboro 255 intank mounted pump.
