F27 zetec fuel starvation
Plunky - 19/6/13 at 09:26 PM

Hi,

I noticed today whilst on a spirited drive that my f27 bogged down and nearly cut out whilst cornering hard, I am guessing this is fuel starvation and only seems to happen when the car is fairly low on fuel.
It is a 2.0 zetec on gsxr throttle bodies, ran on megasquirt.
Would fitting a swirl pot fix this?
If so, does anyone have any details on fitting one?

Cheers

Liam

In my opinion a sump in the tank would be better, i have just removed my swirl pot as the low pressure pumps could not keep up. The demand from engine was to much. Now runs like a dream.

Have you got any more details on the sump in the tank?

Wow your engine must have a big appetite The swirl pot setup works great on my S2000 set up.
