GTR FUEL PUMP BASKET UPGRADE INSTALL GUIDE

UPDATED 05-14-17

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Install Guide for the Visconti Tuning’s GTR FUEL PUMP BASKET UPGRADE. Two PNP extension harnesses are included on DW baskets and kits that do not have Walbro 485 pump pre-installed. This allows easier removal of the basket during servicing. 485 pumps in our preassembled baskets now come with slim connectors that do not require any adapters.

Important! When the gas gauge shows 1/2 your passenger side of the gas tank is 100% full, installation is best done when the car has less than half a tank of gas. Please also keep in mind this system was designed with the intention of having the fuel pumps fit very tight. Not using the provided LUBE will 100% tear the orings in the pre-filter blocks.

STEP 5 – PREPARE STOCK HANGER/SENDING UNIT

STEP 5.1 Carefully remove the fuel pump ground from the top of the factory filter housing. They normally don’t come out easy.

STEP 5.2 Using a razor blade carefully remove the plastic fuel line that runs from the fuel hanger to the top of the STOCK fuel filter housing.

STEP 5.3 Unscrew the provided billet barb adapter and apply lube to the (2) orings inside the fitting. LEAVE ORINGS INSIDE FITTING

STEP 5.4 Firmly press the billet fitting on to the fuel hanger barb.

STEP 5.5 Slide the two locks back onto the billet fitting and screw them together. This is best done while firmly pressing the fitting.

STEP 5.6 Apply lube to the end of the billet fitting and push the provided hose on to the fitting.

STEP 5.7 Once the provided fuel line is on fitted secure it using the provide fuel injection hose clamp. THIS DOES NOT NEED TO BE SUPER TIGHT

DO NOT connect this fuel line to the billet basket until the basket is locked into the gas tank.

STEP 6A – ASSEMBLING THE BASKET (FOR SYSTEMS SOLD WITHOUT PUMPS)

If you purchase your system with pumps please skip below to STEP 6B.

If you purchased this system without fuel pumps PLEASE carefully follow these steps to properly install your fuel pumps. Not following these steps will result in damaging orings or fuel pumps.

Pumps must be plugged in before installing into filter housing

STEP 6A.1 – Run the pump wires through the top of the basket top

STEP 6A.2 – Install the Fuel Pumps

STEP 6A.2.1 - Make sure you use provided fuel pump shim is between fuel pump and basket top.

STEP 6A.2.2 - You are provided with two O-rings and one spacer for each fuel pump. 485s do not use spacer

Place the two of provided O-rings in each port of the filter housing.

STEP 6A.2.3- Apply lube to the center of the O-rings

STEP 6A.3 - Place provided black spacer on each pump and insert the pumps into the filter housing.

STEP 6A.4 – Apply lube on to the pumps inlets and carefully slide the pre-filter block on to the back of the fuel pumps, secure using provided bolts and washers.

If you’re unable to line up bolt holes for the pre-filter block then simply loosen the filter housing from the billet top. Once pre-filter blocks are secure tighten the filter housing until it is flush with the billet top.

STEP 6A.7 – Install Fuel Pump Clamp – DO NOT OVER TIGHEN!!!!!!

STEP 6A.8 – Install ONE-TIME-USE provided pre-filters, they don’t just slide on, they require pressure.

I recommend bottoming out filter, then lock washer.

STEP 6A.9 - Install Basket Ground – Remove the pre-installed screw and place ground in the center of the basket top and turn ¼ of a turn. Secure the ground by reinstalling the screw.

STEP 6A.10 – Reinstall OEM Pressure Relief

STEP 6B – ASSEMBLING THE BASKET (FOR SYSTEMS SOLD WITH PUMPS)

STEP 6B.1 – Install ONE-TIME-USE provided pre-filters, they don’t just slide on, they require pressure. I recommend bottoming out filter, then lock washer.

STEP 7 – CHECK FILTER HOUSING AN FITTING & TIPS

Before installing the basket into the gas tank please make sure the pre-install 3/8 AN6 fitting in the filter housing is tight. There is no need to remove the fitting, simply make sure it is tight. A fitting that is loose or hand tight can cause extended cranking when trying to start the car.

Although you’ll be able to place this upgraded stock basket into the gas tank fully assembled you will not be able to connect any of the fuel lines until the is in the gas tank.

We have cut open the side of the gas tank to show you how the unit looks when installed.

Take notice how we run the fuel feed line.

It’s important to make sure none of the fuel lines interfere with the level sensor.

We recommend looping the fuel feed line away from the fuel level (around the basket)
