ISs this pump good to use
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all,

I am building my turbo conversion for my car, which will be a MG metro turbo, with a mirage manifold and t2/t25 hybrid turbo with 360 degrees thrust bearing, it will be running on a megajolt setup and will be running a intercooler as well.

I just wanted to find out in regards to fueling, will this be a good pump and regulator kit to use:

1. It is a sytec external fuel pump model otp020 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SYTEC-FSE-OTP020...r-/170859211248

2. a fpr fuel regalater kit - http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/13081852249...type=pla&crdt=0

All help is really appreciated.

Thanks

Bobby

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

What about the fuel pump is that any good?

Or is I was to use a metro turbo fuel pressure regulator would I be able to run a mechanical fuel pump or do I need a electric fuel pump?

You need an electric one , that one looks ok but I would go with the tried and tested Bosch one.

The regulator needs to be a type that raises fuel pressure with boost.

So this type of regulator: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-MG-Metro-TU...140892948265%26

Will I need to run a electric pump with this or can I use a manual fuel pump with this?

no matter what fuel regulator you have you need an electric pump, just get an SPI or MPI tank. or as the lads say, buy a bosch one.

Unfortunately cannot use a MPI or SPI tank, as I am turboing my clubby estate and these tanks will not fit. So I will need a bosch one. What if I use a facet one, but if I use the facet one, which one, as there are so many to choose?

What do you mean by threaded fittings or push on barbs, sorry I am still a novice in this

With fittings Ie Aeroquip, torques, goodridge. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-044-Fuel-P...=item230ffc7d49

With out ie push on.

I take it the one with fittings is the better one to go for?

No i am not say that they was the first pumps i found on ebay to show you whats going on.

ok mate, i need to more research into this and see which one will be better to use

for the types of fittings think about what type of fuel line your going to use ie stainless braided or standard

Done now needs redoing lol

I use the push-on type, so long as you use proper fuel hose clips (not jubilee clips) it will be fine and I run a lot higher pressure as I'm fuel injected.

All these electric pumps are primarily used with fuel injected systems so the standard push-on fittings, clips, hoses etc. are fine on the lower pressures the SU needs. The threaded fittings look pretty but are overkill IMO.

But, as already said, you need to decide your overall system requirements (like what type of pipes will you be running for the flow and return lines) before buying bits that might not be compatible.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Well the pipes I have running on the car are 8mm standard copper ones fuel and return
