lowlancer Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Obviously need to get a decent external fuel pump for the new conversion, that is, 4G63 Sirius Dash turbo motor. What fuel pump can I use? I know a VL or VL turbs is all good, but if I can't get hold of one, can I use anything as long as it's an external type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Theres a place in morrinsville, K&H Auto spares I think its called. The dude is a f**kn good c*nt and gives you anything he has for cheap as. Last year I was sussing out others parts through him and asked if he had vl pumps just in case I needed one. He had quite afew and would part with them for $40! Dunno if he's still got any but give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yeah I know it Tah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burntrubber Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I use a 13b turbo Mazda Luce pump they are rated quite high also. I also have a VL commy pump as well that I will be useing later when I finish my injection setup. I've been told that camira pumps are the same as VL ones and a few Fords had them as well they are a Bosch pump that may make it a bit easier to find one.

CaMpylobacter Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 generic low pressure lift pump to surge tank, then bosch "vl turbs" stz you'll want a surge tank, seen a high powered car die due to that, sideways, fuel surge, tree...... heh, then again, keep the tank above 1/4 when caning and it'll be tops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 With the lift pump to surge tank setup, what lines do you use under the car for supply and return? just cut the originals, seal them on the tank side, and run rubber pipes to them from the surge tank?

Blair Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 When I put the EFI motor in the sedan I run a new metal fuel line from just under the tank to the engine bay and used the old fuel line as the return line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Dunno how much if any you plan to mod engine or how much money you wanna spend. But $150 will get you a 350hp brand new external bosh pump. That way you wouldnt have to replace again for a while. Add another 50 and you get a little bling as mounting bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isnowi Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 You will be well advised to go for a surge tank setup, as your std fuel tank will not have sufficient baffling to prevent fuel surge, VL and VL turbo pumps are the same. You willl also find some larger BMW's have bosch pumps that can be used, I have a carter lift pump lifting from the factory outlet into a 2 litre surge tank feeding a bosch pump from a 525i bmw, that supplies fuel to the factory line, the ex has a factory return which i use , it is a smaller diameter than the supply but seems to be doing alright thus far, with high pressure efi the fuel line size is not as critical as with a high perf carby motor. If you want any more info on my setup i can take some photos for ya.. Good luck with it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah some shit is cheap some is rip off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 If you want any more info on my setup i can take some photos for ya.. Holy crap yes, photos would be very much appreciated. I was thinking very very similarly for my setup, just a small carby electric pump for a lift pump, I have a starion pump for the main feed. How would i connect the starion pump to the feed line? Arent they solid all the way into the gas-tank? Gah, i wish the car was here so i could go take a quick squiz.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 was thinking very very similarly for my setup, just a small carby electric pump for a lift pump I originally had a carby legacy (a solid state like a facet pump) fuel pump feeding the surge, but it couldn't keep up with the flow of the bosch pump, i bought the carter (which is a rotary vane and is quite happy sucking up) off trademe for around $180. The pick up comes out the top of the tank and down behind the rear axle, there is a section of rubber fuel hose about 200mm long ( IIRC) that connects the tank to the chassis fuel line. Its a little dark out now, but i'll get some piccys for you tommorrow and post em up. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TygerTung Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I am not gonna bother having a surge tank, it looks real tricky to install, I'll see how I go without it, I'll just cut or modify the lines and use a cordia fuel pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
