About to fit my 044 pump on my 3dr cosworth guys BUT on getting under the car to do so , noticed my fuel fulter is a cheapo little fuel filter , the clear ones you would get in a nova or something

Can i change back easily to the proper one >? though it should be the "can" type and not with jubilee clips at each end ? any help appreciated , on why i would have this , surely its not normal ????

 

Sounds like someone has chopped and changed the fuel lines a bit mate...

best get a look under jonnys car and try and copy that...

Thats if his is normal

 

uses banjos, buy a filter from ford, go to pirtecks or hypehose they do adapters that will fit, couple jubliee clips and some fuel injection pipe, job jobbed

 

Cool troops , am on to it

Looks suspect to me ,l`L getting this car right slowly but surely

 

sounds like the last owner liked a bodge Rab

 

The last owner was a cock euan , plain and simple !

This is the last of his devious work im sure of it

 

best to get this changed before its checked on the rollers as wee things like this can effect fuel pressure.

 

At a bit of a crossroads euan have these light blues here , but cars running at moment with the greens , going to get this pump in and get her to ava to set up , but think its a waste if im putting these blues in it but need a chip etc , would ava hook me up with what i need for the blues ?? want it better and rolling roaded for crail , but maybe doing the blues is goiung to set me back time and effort and money for the sake of a month or so , hope this makes sense

 

what turbo do you have Rab?

Do you want to really push the engine to the point where you will max the greens? (300 ish ATW)

AVA can sort you out with what ever you need Rab

 

The hing is got these blues for a bargain so kind of want to use them and heard there slightly better all round , anyway 300atw max for me , anything over 270ish i`d be chuffed with , probably , again im running 13psi just now and dont ever nail it , and need to get this thing squating !

 

rab get a filter from graham goode pretty reasonable and genuine ford and always therenext day

 

a set up will only cost you an hour on rollers hopefully mate Ł60,at least peace of mind for fueling,misfires etc for crail

 

dont bother with the blues at the moment then Rab as 280 is no probs for the greens.

Just get to rollers and get it set up the blues just complicate things and they arent really needed at this spec level.

25 psi will feel ALOT quicker than 13

 

Hope so mate , will do that then , get the greens going to see whats going on

 

no reason why it cant make 270-300 ATW on your spec if the engine and turbo are healthy

 

Surely not, take a picture man!!

How the hell has that stood up to 4.5 - 5bar fuel pressure!!

 

Stu this is true ,iL get a picture , was pretty shocked when i seen it as well , dont know the science behind it all but knew it was`nt what i was suppose to be seeing

Why would someone do this ???

 

never


really
