Guest ashnicholls Posted May 11, 2006 I have got 1.6 with big valve head, and 4 branch manifold, all lightened and balance botom end. Was just wondering: What fuel pump would i need, and would it need a regulator. What spark plugs and leads would people recommend, and which uprated ignition coil would people recommend getting.

Craigb 2 Posted May 11, 2006 I used a Facet red top and then an inline filter King when i had 40's on my escort 1600 Fail to see why that set up wouldn't work on yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ashnicholls Posted May 11, 2006 what pressure was that regulated at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saml666 0 Posted May 11, 2006 If you fit a regulator, is there any reason why can't you use the std injection pump? (dumb question probably, just I'm about to fit twin carbs on my Mi16) Cheers, Sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craigb 2 Posted May 12, 2006 what pressure was that regulated at? Going back a few years now , but i think it was low at around 4.5 psi .. The limiting factor is the needle in the float chamber , any more and you just lift the needle and fill the carb with fuel .. I'll try and dig out the weber book i have and see what it says Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taffycrook 2 Posted May 12, 2006 You can use a pressure reg to drop the pressure down to carb friendly levels using an FPR009 from FSE. Works a treat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ashnicholls Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) my engine was a carb engine so know injection, only fuel pump running off the cam, which the gti cam doesnt have. Yes it is 4.5 psi. but you can buy a kit to convert injection to carb. http://www.fastroadcars.co.uk/store/view_p...?product=FPR009 looking at this one does it need a regulator, if it only works between 4-4.5 psi? http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/produ...roducts_id=1693 Edited May 12, 2006 by ashnicholls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ashnicholls Posted May 12, 2006 anyone got any advice on the ignition side of things, what uprated coil would people recommend. what else is needed with the coil, and what leads and plugs would people recommend. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
