Fuel upgrades needed for KL swap?
Wondering if the K8 fuel pump and stock FPR do fine on KL swap or not. If not, which should be changed first? Change stock FPR to AFPR, or upgraded pump? I'm hoping the stock pump is OK, because I don't want a noisy pump since it will also be a stereo car. Otherwise, will stock MX6 pumps fit, and would that even be a significant enough upgrade?

mx-6 pump should work with little modification if they are like the walbro one..I got a probe walbro 255hp in my car right now and wasn't hard to install at all (should be the same with the mx-6 pump)..you'll know what I mean when you'll get there...removing the 8 bolts holding the fuel pump in the fuel pump was a pain..half of them was stripped

Re: Fuel upgrades needed for KL swap?
So the only reason to upgrade would be going to forced induction or wet nitrous?
Re: Fuel upgrades needed for KL swap?
I would suggest getting a AFPR. I was running rich with stock k8 fuel pump w/kl 36 ecu.
Just my 2 cents.![Shrug :shrug:](./images/smilies/shrug.gif)
