Guest s6boy1979 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hi Stu Depends what you want from it. If your not going for big power then ebay is cool, but if your going to up the power at some stage or swap it for something a bit quicker then burton power is prob the best place for an uprated one, look for a fez turbo/cozzy onr. Or you can do what i am doing and swap the efi set to mfi. This way the pump is external and is to get to so you can change it to suit your needs, plus they are a bit cheaper for some reson.

gingergman Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 it will be running standard for prob around another year, so ebay is the best then? mine hasnt gave up yet but its off at the mo so might aswell put a new one on it lol. can you run a uprated one with a standard engine, or will that cause some probs?

Guest Lee81 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 As far as i know the fuel pump on the bosch ke jet rs turbo is the same as the one for the standard xr3i. Sytec sell pumps direct which are reasonable priced. Go for the equivilent of a bosch 044 if memory serves me is standard. Think about replacing wiring to it also. Virtualy all the cars that havent had it replaced have a voltage at the pump when working lower than it should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Just one comment, a pattern pump only lasted four years on my cab, although my Mechanic friend blamed lack of use,Since a few months ago I have an original Bosch and it is a lot quieter too.
