    Walbro GSS340 intank fuel pump ?'s

    What makes this intank 255lph pump different then others? Why is it recommend higher then other 255lph pumps.

    Another question, is the BBK AFPR boost sensitive like the Aeromotive AFPR?
    NOVI 1000 power.

    Not sure about the 340.

    The 341 has the inlet, in-line with the outlet.
    The 342 has the inlet 180deg from the outlet.

    Though given the pumps are so small, this doesnt make much difference. I think they all flow the same though.

    Drops right in place of the stocker with no mods

    Has a higher flow rating at higher pressures than a standard 255 (like the GSS 307) In testing the GSS 340 actually outflows the standard 255 pump in every aspect regardless of pressure but the biggest gains are noticed when pressure goes above 50 psi

    All fuel pressure regulators that have a vacuum diaphragm (BBK, Aeromotive, Accufab, Kirban...even the stocker) are boost sensitive to a 1:1 ratio......for every pound of boost fuel pressure rises by 1 pound. This is where the GSS 340 pump comes into play. If your static pressure is set to say 43 psi, and you make 10 pounds of boost that means the pump will have to be able to supply enough volume at 53 psi fuel pressure.....and that volume level can be pretty high when running big injectors so every litre of fuel counts on a lot of combos and can be the difference between happy head gaskets and unhappy headgaskets.

    Some quick numbers from a test article I have:

    GSS 307 (low pressure 255):

    233 lph @ 40 psi
    199 lph @ 60 psi

    GSS 340 (high pressure 255):

    244 lph @ 40 psi
    217 lph @ 60 psi

    I thought they stopped making the GSS340?
