How To Replace a Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter ~ Project White Wookie

How To Replace a Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter ~ Project White Wookie

How To Replace a Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter ~ Project White Wookie

Replacing a fuel pump or fuel filter can be scary. But if you follow these tips, and this DIY, you cando it. In upgrading the VR6 with bigger cams, and adding a turbocharger, I needed to upgrade the fuel system. With the added air, I needed more fuel. After much research and advice, I settled on upgrading the in tank fuel pump.

This “upgrade” didn’t quite go as planned. So this video will show you simply how to replace a fuel pump, and fuel filter. I am working on the video for “How to HACK upgrade your fuel pump”. That will be out soon. I have to be careful about those types of videos. I don’t want to spread bad practices out to the world.

How To Wire Electric Cooling Fans

How To Wire Electric Cooling Fans with Crimp Connections

Wiring electric cooling fans is almost a must for a VR6 turbo build. Not only will it move more air, but it cleans up the engine bay. In the last cooling fan video we learned the theory behind wiring cooling fans. I walked you through the wiring diagram to understand how I made my cooling fans work.

Today we are looking at how to wire the fans to make them work. You can use several methods to make these wiring connections. If you would rather solider, then solider on. I typically use the crimp connection method as it is the factory recommended process for making wiring repairs. When done properly, it is a very strong way to make wiring connections.

The VR6 Turbo Is ALIVE ~ First Start Success and Failure

The VR6 Turbo Is ALIVE ~ First Start Success and Failure

The VR6 Turbo Is ALIVE ~ First Start Success and FailureThat is right, the fully rebuilt VR6 turbo GTI aka White Wookie is alive. After a full engine rebuild and adding a turbo it’s finally running. The first starts were not allsuccessful. I had one issue with hooking everything up. It ended up being a very minor issue with the crank position sensor. Luckily it ended up being a simple fix. I am also glad I opted to buy a new crankshaft position sensor during the build. It would have been tragic if I couldn’t start it because of a sensor being bad.
