Summary
Goliath is the top of Nostrum's Explorer ST fuel ladder and, in their own words, the largest HPFP ever brought to the EcoBoost market. It carries 60% more flow than the standard high pressure pump — 1200-250 is Nostrum's model designation for it, rated to 250 bar — and is estimated to support more than 750 whp on E85 in a fully built car. The build quality is where the money goes: fully stainless welded, with OEM-style vacuum-brazed hardlines and an OEM quick-connect fitting so the emissions side of the fuel system is disturbed as little as possible. For a 2020-2024 Explorer ST, Explorer Platinum or Lincoln Aviator that has outgrown a mid-size pump, this is the last pump the car should need.
When The Mid-Size Pump Is No Longer Enough
Most Explorer ST builds start with a 47% pump and a sensible E85 map, and that carries a factory-turbo car a long way. Goliath is for what comes next: a bigger turbo, a built short block, or a car that spends its life at high load on ethanol. At that point the difference is not peak numbers on a sheet, it is whether the rail holds pressure through a full pull.
Best For
A 2020-2024 Explorer ST or Platinum with an upgraded turbocharger
Lincoln Aviator builds running straight E85 rather than switching between fuels
Cars where a previous pump upgrade has already been maxed out
Long-term builds where fitting the fuel system twice is the thing to avoid

Fitment And Setup Checks
A supporting calibration is required before the car is driven on the new pump.
Fuel choice matters: Nostrum recommends E85 or 93 octane rather than intermediate blends, and periodic straight petrol if blends have been used.
Fit the vibration damping sleeve and clips as the guide describes rather than leaving the hardline unsupported.
Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor owners need the R-code version of Goliath instead of this one.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Nostrum steer people away from E30 to E50?
Intermediate ethanol blends are hard on any fuel system, standard or aftermarket, which is why Nostrum recommends E85 or 93 octane and suggests periodic straight petrol if you have been running blends.
What makes the OEM quick-connect fitting worth having?
It ties the pump into the factory fuel line without adapting the connection, keeping the standard emissions plumbing intact so the install behaves like a factory part.
Do the injectors need to move up with it?
A pump this size is usually paired with an upgraded injector set, and Nostrum says the Goliath is best paired with its Stage 3 injectors. The Stage 3 direct injectors are the recommended partner, or the Explorer ST Stage X bundle puts a matched combination together.
