blanking plates
Turbo Mini Forums

right i will no longer be having a heater, so is it best to just block off outlet on the head or should i pipe it back into the rad? would this give better cooling?.
What do i do with the outlet on the back of the block which i believe the mechanical fuel pump goes? any help would be great thanks.

Back into the top hose, or top of the rad, is the best place for it.

A pump blanking plate, believe it or not, is the best thing to blank the pump hole....

If you're turboing, the Red top is of no use.

No worries, search buttton up there^^^ has most of your answers.

why is redtop no good??? what will i need?

Easiest is to get hold of an MPI tank, it has the pump inside fitted plus has a fuel return on as well.

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

nope,

a red rop make about 7psi

you need a high pressure fuel pump, able to give 2-3psi on top of boost pressure (essentially a fuel injection pump that can deliver 50psi)

this then needs to be used with a fuel pressure regulator referenced to boost.

turboing 101...

next time your compressor is running, try pissing down your airline.

thats why you can you a red top with a turbo set up.

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

lol ok not high enough preasure then what pump would you reccomend?

An injection pump of some kind.

yea, like a bosch one, there good as long as you get the one,

i got one off ebay, brand new £50, then i checjed the part number on the bosch website and its more than adequate,

if you cant find and bosch ones try searching for a decent roller van pump, i think minispeed do one but its not cheap.

p.s, i ment the RIGHT one, sorry lol

ok great thanks i will look into it if not is the standard metro turbo pump good enough?
