fuel pump and reg
Turbo Mini Forums

i know the rs turbo fuel pump and regulator is for a injection setup but can this be used for a carbed metty turbo.or what other pumps and regulators can you use. i will buy brand new at a later date but money is becoming tight and i want to get her going. cheers

If in Doubt, go flat out !!!

mirage are doing new pumps for 40 quid, thats a good price

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

I think the pump is OK but not the regulator unless you can get it down to 3psi at the carb, the injection system that the rsturbo regulator opperates at much higher pressure, (40psi approx?), and so unless you are lucky and it has that range of adjustment, (if it's adjustable at all), then you have to use a mg metro turbo one.

The regulators are £33 new from minispares. I know all too well how much turbo stuff starts adding up to, but you don't want a second had reg going lean and metting your engine.

Dont' forget to wire in the pump feed with an inertia switch in the feed to the relay, (best to use a relay, scrappers are full of suitable single housings). I also wired my megajolt through it so it will def kill the motor and fuel in the event of an accident.

The wiring info is in the knowledge or how too sections.

RST pump is a very high pressure and flow unit - if you use this, you'll almost definately need a restrictor at the regulator entry...

look on e/bay for pump & reg for metro turbo or R5gt turbo
