ok peeps show us ur swirl pot set ups

what did you use and where would you recommend getting the bits from

 

interested also, ive seen some nice looking set ups on here before

 

let us see if any one posts any up

 

swirl pot from http://www.sm-engineering.co.uk/allo...surge_tank.php
everything else from www.torques.co.uk

 

i like that really nice i was going to fit mine in boot but i not keen on having it all in the boot

 

didnt fancy it in the boot myself, plus i think its much easier to have it here, less wiring etc.

 

mhhhh hope i can get mine some where under the bonnet

 

pump was purchased on here as with the ATL Swirlpot all the teflon braided lines from www.torque.co.uk

 

Am i right in thinking all thats needed for a swirl pot setup is the pot,external fuel pump(044 etc),and an inline fuel filter and fittings,i currently have a walbro lp300 in the tank and im suffering bad with fuel surge on acceleration and corners with anything less than half a tank of fuel so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

What size are the fittings and pipe needed mate?

 

Due similar reason we are went too with Swirl pot,would recommend PTFE for fuel lines,where you want have mounted swirl pot inside the cabin or in the engine bay

But must say,044 fuel pump is little bit noisy

all -6 fittings apart from the outlet to pump which is -8

 

Got all the parts ready to do mine

Here is my under bonnet setup.

 

Try Alex at tourqes for the fitting... Über cheap

 

 

What does a swirl pot do?

 

stops fuel surge and therefore fuel cut when the tank is less than x full...if you have ever experienced it you will know why you want to avoid it

 

Boot Mounted setup, with Torques PTFE Hoses and connectors.
Fabricated by myself.

Boot oy bay mounted both have it's pros and cons, to me the pros of a boot mounted setup are more important.

 

 

How big a job are they to fit?

 

My under bonnet pump/pot/filter setup.

 

This is my set up swirl pot is in the base off the tank no need for a lifter pump only the 044 and filters having this lot in the boot is a good excuse for not doing the shopping in this car

 

Heres mine, fair to say it was definately inspired by Frayz's setup!

Still a work in progress so things look pretty tatty!

Custom swirl pot by OBP which bolts to 2 spare M6 captives on the strut tower and a brace bracket to the strut brace.

Bosch 044

Mocal -8 inline filter

All goodridge -6 connectors except pot through filter to pump is -8

Personally, best place for fuel fittings and hoses is think automotive, but once youve worked out how much of it you need, youll be bloody suprised by how much it all costs to do the job properly.

 

That looks awesome Legacy, was it a perfect fit?

 

Yes matey, all bolted straight up.... but i did the drawings so id expect nothing less! haha :-)

The two M6 bolts that hold the swirl pot to the strut tower are a bit of a game to get started as theres not alot of access and ive got fingers like pigs t1ts .... otherwise its all good!

its all coming out for some powder coat in the next few days too.

 

Nice, i'm glad you like it!

Are you getting it powdercoated black??

 

Here is our swirl pot setup

Suffering with this fuel surge also... What sort of money would a typical set-up cost?
