my fuel pump just packed was wonderin if anyone knew if the xr3i pump is the same?????

 

I dont think so the pump will get you about but I beleive the XR3i one is about a bar of pressure short of the turbo one.

 

ON THE OTHER HAND I'M SURE THEY ARE THE SAME?

 

try and see

dont forget to disconnect the battery first as sparks,around the tank and petrol mix nicely into FIRE

 

Akito-man you are just sooooooooooo helpful

I'm sure they are the same, if its any concellation my Turbo has the original XR3i pump??

 

Im also sure they are the same (MFI anyway) as are cosworth fuel pumps

 

hmmmmm. I may be wrong but I am sure I saw an Autodata printout saying that an RS turbo fuel pump worked between 4.5 and 5.5 bar of pressure, where as the XR3i fuel pump was 3.5 - 4.5 bar of pressure or sumthing like that, I'll check and get back to you.

 

Don't care about flow rates, but I have one if you need it
been sat for about 2 months, worked fine beforehand

let me know

 

I've heard 3i ones ain't up to it aswell

you checked the relay though?

 

I had a check on Autodata the XR31 feul pump operates at 4.5 - 5.5 bar of pressure, the RS tufbo runs at 5.5 to 6.0 bar.

So you can use an XR3i pump but it is operating at max to give the rs the corrsct fueling. I would personally get a turbo feul pump as it will last you longer.

 

Is the autodata quoting the fuel system pressure or the pressure the pump can produce? I think it will be the pressure the system operates at, in which case if it is the xr3i pump should be the same. Have a look on microcat, i was lookng the other day im certain they have the same part number, cossie ones im sure are different though, as they are the same as the 2.9 granada pumps.

 

They are the same number, as is every other fuel injected 1.6cvh

 

Good good i thought so
