Installation of LPFP

Coupes33 · 08-21-2015, 09:50 PM

Before I commence installation of a Stage 2 LPFP, I wanted confirmation on a couple of things from those of you who have installed one.
1. The LPFP is located under the rear seat behind the drivers seat.
2. I need to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery.
3. Do I need to drain fuel tank completely or just get it as low as possible.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

low as possible should be fine. it's a straight forward install.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Low as possible. I did it with 1/2 tank. Would recommend less

You also need a special tool to remove it (I think)

Low as possible, it will be a lot easier if you leave about 50km worth of fuel in it.

No special tools are required for this.

4. Plenty of rags covering your seats and for your hands

The tool made it mega easy but i think if you did some tap tap tap-a-roo's then you'd get it undone.

Coupes33 there is an installation guide on the Fuel-it website. Its really good. Just follow that. For AU cars its almost exactly the same we just have one less breather or something to disconnect.

Forgot about the lid. I went tap tap and it's a bit damaged but still able to tighten it.

Thanks fellows for your comments. I will install the LPFP in the next week or so when I get the fuel down to an 1/8th of a tank. As far as the tool goes, I will make one fairly easily. Thanks again.
