(bogg say r1 pump another place says regs) what else do i need? can somebody direct me to a post or site that explains this in laymans terms please please some body help or i may just keep it injection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calvinhorse 870 Posted July 2, 2007 the R1 pumps are cheap enough (£8-£25) suck it and see! but there none adjustable so could starve at high revs for long distance. saying that, a fuel regulator is only £45 just need to recirculate your oe fuel pump and put a t peice off to the carbs.

Peetypug 5 Posted July 2, 2007 any chance of having a look at yours calvin? your only 20 mins up the road iff it aint snowing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calvinhorse 870 Posted July 2, 2007 20mins holy s*it!! mine aint running yet, im going for the facet and regulator route as mine started as a none injected base model! i have complete faith in the facet regulator set up, if u do the same u need to block off your fuel return. what you struggling with?

calvinhorse 870 Posted July 2, 2007 http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/Pro...code=FSEFPR008A that goes down to 1.5psi its what im using anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peetypug 5 Posted July 2, 2007 i think i need one of those and a injection to carb regulator as well theres one on ebay item no 150 120 382 168 it has hi pressure fuel in 2 out to carbs and a exess fuel return line is that all i need to change? will it run after being rolling roaded and set up?

calvinhorse 870 Posted July 2, 2007 with that setup u still need another reg to get it down to 1.5 psi ive heard of a guy on here "205007" running R1 carbs on a gti6 engine with standard jets but your better off getting it rolling roaded to be on the safe side rather than possibly cooking an engine through running it lean..

allanallen 528 2 Cars Posted July 3, 2007 just need to recirculate your oe fuel pump and put a t peice off to the carbs. agreed, injection models already have a return so its just a case of joining them together and 'T'ing off it. Think them sytec adjustable regulators are only about 20 squid, and thats what my (and calvins) dad runs on his motor (twin DCOEs) with no probs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodgy 0 Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) i used a FACET silver top pump and disconected the standard pump a FILTER KING so i could regulate the pressure and also filter it and its all in the engine bey after the standard filter. its a peice of pee to do.id never done it before and it took a few hours only problem i have is it keeps eating the silicone joiners or vibrating off but apart from that its the best mod ive done, if you can CAM your rengine too cos mine flys now its got a 285deg cam in it Edited July 8, 2007 by hodgy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
