Fuel Pump
Currently putting in a escort rs turbo engine into a mk5 escort xr3i would I get away with using the mk5 fuel pump?
Thanks.

If you're still using the KE-jetronic, then probably no.

Depends on what system your car currently has. MFI or EFI and it will be fine, single point injection pump might not be up to it.

u will need the rs turbo fuel pump as mfi requires around 5-6 bar of pressure. the efi pump u have will be well below that

If its running EFi can't you use the Fiesta RST in tank pump or the Escort Cosworth one?

If you use EFI Turbo any EFI fuel pump will be fine.

I think you'll find the standard pump will probably get the engine running but its not going to be up the job of high end fuelling.
As suggested it will be easiest to fit an FRST pump, straight swap i believe
