C5 Fuel Pump Kit, T6 RXP255JE


High-Performance Fuel System Kit

1997 - Early 2003 Corvette C5

Racetronix RFPK-055-255 (Gen-2 6061-T6 Aluminum Module & RXP-255JE Turbine)

Precision Engineered Reliability

The RFPK-055-255 is the definitive fuel system upgrade for the early C5 Corvette. Featuring our Gen-2 6061-T6 anodized aluminum reservoir and a high-flow RXP-255JE turbine pump, this kit is designed to eliminate the fuel starvation and heat-related failures common with factory plastic modules. By utilizing a modular, serviceable design, we provide a system that grows with your vehicle while maintaining 100% compatibility with all fuel types, including E85.

Gen-2 Pump Assembly

  • RXP-255JE Turbine: High-pressure turbine capable of stable flow for performance applications.
  • Advanced Jet Pump Integration: Maintains a full reservoir regardless of tank level to prevent pump cavitation.
  • 6061-T6 Anodized Aluminum: Provides active thermal management and 50% more surge volume than stock.
  • Fully Serviceable: The modular design allows for complete disassembly and cleaning.
  • E85 Optimized: 100% compatible with all ethanol blends and racing fuels.

28-Amp Redundant Electrical

  • Redundant Architecture: Utilizes dual 14-gauge positive paths to double the factory current capacity.
  • FPWH-052 HD Hotwire: Features Heavy-Duty 630-series 40A hardware for maximum voltage delivery.
  • PBIC-001 Booster Interface: Includes connector set for plug-and-play integration of pump voltage boosters (e.g., Kenne Bell BAP).
  • ITWH-055 In-Tank Harness: Teflon-insulated E85-compatible wiring with redundant leads.
  • BCA-4W Bulkhead: Heavy-duty replacement bulkhead specifically pinned for redundant current.

255-Series Horsepower Support Estimates

Fuel Type Naturally Aspirated Forced Induction
Gasoline ~550-600 HP ~450-500 HP
E85 (Ethanol) ~400-450 HP ~300-350 HP

*Estimates based on 58 PSI base pressure. Applications exceeding these levels should consider the Racetronix 450-series kit.

Level Sensor Alert

Check or replace your fuel level sensor during installation to ensure gauge accuracy. Sulfur contamination is a common failure point on C5 sensors.

Leak Prevention

We highly recommend a new FSGK-C5 (97-99) or FSGK-C5A (00-03) seal and bolt kit to ensure a leak-free seal.

Technical FAQ & Installation Notes

Q: I have installed the harness and module, but the pump will not turn on. What is the most likely cause?

A: The most common installation error is failing to connect the High-Current Ground Terminals to the tank perimeter bolts. Because we have relocated the pump grounds to offload heat from the bulkhead connector, the pump will not have a complete circuit until these ring terminals are securely fastened to the metal fuel tank flange. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and providing a solid electrical ground.

Q: Can I install the wiring or pump separately?

A: No. This is an integrated system. The bulkhead pinout is reconfigured for redundant 28-amp power. The new module will not work with factory wiring, and the new harness will not work with a factory pump.

Q: Is an aftermarket regulator required for this kit?

A: While the 255 kit works with factory regulators, users moving toward high-HP expansion or requiring 1:1 manifold referencing should consider the FLK-C5 Fuel Line & Rail Kit.

Q: Why does my electronic fuel pressure gauge show low pressure when hot?

A: Rail-mounted electronic sensors are prone to heat soak, causing false low readings. Always verify system health with a liquid-filled mechanical gauge at the Schrader port during troubleshooting.

Q: How do I ensure the BCA-4W bulkhead is oriented correctly?

A: Alignment is critical. Match the E, B, C, D markings on the ITWH-055 in-tank harness with the corresponding molded letters in the center of the bulkhead top. Note: Edge letters A-D are for the HD Hotwire interface only.

Recommended Add-Ons

Mandatory Platform Verification
